Today at the shop we actually have a gap in work so we got to play with our own cars. The M 3 and the Type R. I have been needing to rotate my tires and do some maintenance for a while but have been busy as hell. I tried out a product we sell called ATE super blue brake fluid. I never thought just changing your fluid would make such a large difference in the firm ness of the pedal. At 15 bucks a quart it was a great investment we have a great vacuum bleeder that will make short work of just about any brake system. This my sound like a viagra add but the pedal got harder higher and smoother than it ever has been before, i highly recommend that every one do this because it works and well... I also found out today that Honda builds that Type R very balanced from the factory.. In street trim with floor mat,1/2 tank of fuel and spare tire in the car she tipped the scales at 2736 lbs. Here is the good part stock cross weight is 51.9 % for a stock car that is un heard of... Stripped down in race trim ( no spare floor mats etc) 2563 lb also at 51.9% cross weight... Then with my butt in the car 2736lb at 51.6% cross weight.. WOW these #'s are hard to believe a bit more fuel in the rear and i would have gotten real close to a 50% cross...
I just can not believe how light this thing is...
