Boiled the brake fluid!
Hey guys,
I have owned the car for about a month and a half. I decided to rock the track for a 2 day event, about half way through the day BOILED the hell out of the brake fluid. I was able to get some Dot 3/4 cheap fluid to get me through the weekend but I want to get something a little better. I am thinking motul RBF600, what is everyone else using? I hope to not boil it again tomorrow, we are running a 11 corner 1/4 mile course, its hard on brake and tires.

Motul RBF600 is an awesome fluid for the price...I've heard that the Super Blue fluid is good too, but is hard to tell when it's dirty as it's naturally dark in color.

Yeah I have upgraded pads from the owner before me. Thought it would be good to go but I guess I should have switched it out before today :-( didnt see the sticky until right now didnt come up when I searched.

Brakeman Xtreme6 5.1. About the same price as RBF600, bit boils at 612 dry, 400 wet. Much cheaper than SRF. Safe in our brake system. Only down side is that you probably have to order it directly from them. I'm yet to boil it, but I'm running RBF600 atm since I needed something in a pinch and could get it locally.

i did the same the first time i took my x to the track.
the fix for me was steel braided brake lines and dot 5.1 brake fluid.
no problems with boiling after that, and i was running stock pads.
