Nope

I improved my best lap time on my local track by 1 second on the last session! Brakes were great (using @CSG Mike "pedal dance" helped as well )

@Slick is an MCO instructor.

Check the Ottawa thread for the barf bag that he puts in the car when taking passengers for a ride.

I know Pierre pretty well (dark grey BRZ, used to race a CRX), but that's about it.

Pierre is @CarGuy on this forum. There were about 8 twins lapping at the MCO track day in September.

Quite a few Ottawa members went on a cruise on Sunday and showed up at the track.

I'm going to bump this old thread with a follow up question: is everyone still super happy with this fluid? The reason I ask is that I tried to order some of this fluid and here is the response I got:
I don't sell that product anymore. Combo of flaky company and my drivers were not overly impressed.

I can offer Gulf Competition 800 and 1000, as well as Motul 660 and Castrol SRF - all of the above exceed the RT700 performance.
With all the high praise I have read about this fluid I was very surprised. Any input anyone has is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

We've had zero issues, minus the product going into backorder at a wholesale level here and there.

On-paper specs, as well as actual use data, in our experience, still has Torque rated as the best DOT4 fluid available.

I'm using ATE and well that's no winner but better than oem. I feel after a month or so of use the brake pedal compresses more. The pads are oem so those aren't winners either but I really hate brake dust. I was looking to stiffen the pedal feeling without having to bleed every couple of months. I don't use this setup on the track, this is solely for street but its still less than inspiring. You think the fluid has anything to do with this? Also could you recommend a set of street pads with little to no extra dust and are better than oem. Already tried Stoptech street performance but dusts like a cummins diesel. Thanks

Just the man I was hoping for. Thanks, Mike!

Sounds like what you might hear from a dealer that was dropped, or has some special deals with others. The "performance" claim made here is pretty bogus. The drivers who don't notice the improved (reduced) compressibility are typically not found at the pointy end of the grid. RT700 is currently the best fluid money can buy in just about every category important to a competitive driver -- and it can be run longer between flushes.

I would believe that. It is a pain in my ass too, because they were 50% of the Canadian suppliers for RT700. The other 50% hasn't gotten back to me.

That's pretty solid. How much of a cooldown did you do on that last day and/or how aged was the fluid?
