I bled the brakes over the weekend. All the 20 year-old Castrol SRF that came out was still crystal clear. Amazing stuff. It's DOT 4 with the highest dry/wet boiling point (594/518 degrees) you can find.
I remember back when we were racing and I tried various brake fluids, you had to bleed the brakes after every run because the fluid would boil and make the pedal spongy. After I switched to the SRF, you could go the whole day of racing and wouldn't have a problem til the end of the day. Last edited by njsteve; 11-30-2021 at 10:57 PM.

UPS delivered the new set of tires this morning. I just got back from picking the wheels and tires up after getting them mounted and balanced. The new Michelins Pilots barely took any weight to balance them. Around a half ounce per wheel.

New spark plugs arrived from rockauto today. Got the Bosch 9656 double iridiums. They were $4.96 each with discount! Finally replacing the vintage Splitfires I installed way back in 1993. (Yeah, I know, the follies of youth).

I got the passenger-side bank of plugs out. They actually look really nice for 8,000 miles and 27 years old, give or take a year. Burn pattern on the electrodes looks nice.
