it's been defeated... too many financial institutons involved

i dunno if the finance/bank thing is valid though ? say you write off your car at the track...for e.g :)

you dont get squat back from insurance... and if your car is still under finance you still continue to pay for it. just like if your car or mobile phone gets stolen. Its not there problem, they dont care.

If u decide not to pay the finance people because cops took the car away, then they will deal with you the same as anyone else who has stoped making payments. If the problem did get out of hand and the banks were constantly loosing $$ they would make it way harder to get a loan, like having a guarantor or however its spelt.

oh yeah and we all know how most of the high speed police chases seem to end up :) so yeah goodluck there. Evan if you did get away and not ram into a pole, they will have all your details from your rego.

but i guess you could live your life on the run just to keep the car.......

as if there realy going to crush your car after your first warning, unless you do something incredibly retarded. We all know there just exagerating. lets dry the eyes ppls :(

i like the idea of the 3 strikes thing and they take it away and sell it though :) Should probs be reduced down to 2 in some cases.

I think it's better they crush them. Then the government doesn't get any money for the car that way and then they still have to pay to have the car crushed. So it's a win, win situation for someone who's getting their car taken off of them, because I mean you're not going to have the car anyway, might as well make it so no else can have the car either.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
