Has anyone seen the absurdly placed revenue device (speed camera) on Lanyon Drive lately? Sprayed with black paint, sometime on the weekend I think. No it wasn't me. Viva the Revolution! I hate graffiti but like painted speed cameras. Bet they cleaned it up real fast.

Has anyone seen others done over in a similar manner? Would be good to keep a tally here, nice to know some people are striking back.

the paints still there, only on one of the windows for the camera, but i was talking with a bloke who's job it is to look after the software and hardware inside them and he said itll still work due to different lenses being for different purposes (day/night etc...)

werent there speed cameras where they'd take photos but someone had to come and collect what was in them? Cause i heard a story (dunno if its true) that a guy had his photo taken by one so he went back and ripped it out of the ground and took it with him. Lol.

Ah,justice at last!We're a long way from balancing the fight against the revenue raisers,but I've always wondered when someone would try something like that!Props to whoever had the brass ones to try it in the first place!Sorry,but I haven't seen any more "black outs"....yet!

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • 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.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
