Back to the extra brake light question: has anyone installed a smaller(read: neater and less obtrusive!) LED 'strip' style third light successfully? If I have to have a light, I want it to function, be out of the way and somewhat aesthetically ok!

Yes, I have a 40cm LED strip brake light mounted at the top of the rear window in my 34 sedan: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231913157584?rmvSB=true

I hooked this up after covering the original one on the boot with the boot lip spoiler. Works well and no issues so far (bar a few dead LEDs), this is in Vic.

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      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.
