    Proof of concept (electric drag cars)

    Joel: I didn't really "watch" it when it was on just sort of listened as background noise ;) Pretty sure it's the same company and they quoted insane air speeds through the system so you'd want it anchored a few miles offshore!

    I sort of figure even if I were paying $100 for fluid it's such a small component of the car costs it's not worth cheaping out on as 1 good brake fade at the wrong time could end your life or total the car... I've turned all 4 discs blue on my car and never had fade so it's well worth it!

    MickyG's MX-73 to 7M-GE Swap

    Depends what sort of machine they have some are dedicated and mount the head with the surface down and move the head over a cutter and some are like my CNC where the head is clamped down to the table and moved under a cutter!

    Car starts up after quite a few cranks

    As far as I know no I'm sure one of the ECU guru's will know for sure. I guess if the CPS is near a firing point it could. Most cars will have a few seconds as a priming pulse but I believe Mk3's don't (but I could be wrong)

    It's one of those out of sight out of mind things! I got caught way back during an interstate trip cruising along in a car I'd just bought with a can of drink jammed in between the e-brake and the console in heavy traffic! Traffic stops I hit the brakes they go to the floor I go to pull the...

    Flushed and clean dot3 will be fine! Your current fluid is probably 1/4 water by now depending on how long it's been in there!

    The pump doesn't actually run untill the ECU see's the motor crank and fire a plug.

    The 5.1 gives a bit better service life, you can get better racing fluid but it needs to be changed more often and costs more. I haven't boiled the 5.1 no matter how hard I work the brakes so it's a good compromise, track days on slicks may be another matter though.
