660 has higher boiling points and only a few dollars more.

Keep in mind you'll need a service tool to cycle the ABS or the flush won't take fluid out of its pumps and valves.

I'm embarrased to admit that I'm a bit of a checkbook mechanic

RBF600/660 is perfectly fine for the GT3 -- or SRF if it makes ya feel good ;-)

I have heard about cycling the ABS with a service tool but I've never done it. Even my Porsche dealer uses a Motive bleeder only to bleed or flush fir track guys. I bleed before each event doing the work now by myself with my Motive bleeder... good through bleed and do not have issues. Could you explain more about cycling the ABS and this service tool

Not meaning to turn this into a DIY, but when you use the Motive, how much do you collect at each caliper assuming you are "pushing" all the existing fluid through the system without taking a turkey baster to the reservoir? I would like to handle it as little as possible.

I have heard you get about 1/3 liter out of the right rear, and then less as you work toward the front of the car and reservoir.

I too have flushed brakes a million times without cycling the ABS system and wonder if it is really needed. I recognize that there may be fluid in the ABS pump which is not being replaced, but it will be expelled the next time I get into ABS braking and replaced with the new stuff, right? And I assume the quantity is minuscule compared to the rest of the system so it will mix and effectively be subsumed. Or have I misunderstood how the system works?

Terry, I just noticed your avitar and that white gt3 behind you. I sure hope that is me chasing you from a few years ago at cups and saucers - one of the great track weekends I have ever attended.

You were too fast that day

Hi Paul - that really was a great weekend and I suspect you have upped your game since then while I haven't. The picture was from a Riesentoter weekend, taken by a fellow member, so I guess that's not you. Are you going to try to do Cups and Saucers this year?
