No thanks man, i'm just checking my options for next spring. At $25-$30 dollars a can then i'll just buy up here. I paid 59 with tax for a can of ATE super blue.
I didn't do my homework on it because really I wanted to get the job done now and it was available. Next time i'll be more choosy.

Yes, if you drive like a granny When driving at the track, DOT 4 won't cut it, particularly in the first few years of that kind of driving, while you still brake a lot. I used to get horrible brake fade at the track, because my fluid was boiling. It's probably less of an issue with more modern cars, with bigger, more powerful brakes.

That was my understanding as well, same stuff different colour.

Like I said, it was all I could find at time. I bought it from Alex (Harmony Rd Porsche). He's one of our club techs.

... he saw you coming .... or maybe heard you..

Description
ATE Type 200(Gold) DOT 4 brake fluid is an ideal choice for handling the high demands placed on your brake system, regardless of whether you are involved in autocross, road racing or high performance street driving.

ATE Type 200(Gold) Specifications: DOT Rating - 4 Dry Boiling Point - 536°F Wet Boiling Point - 396°F

Note: ATE Super Blue and ATE Type 200(Gold) brake fluid have identical characteristics but are different in color. To assure that you have flushed out all of the old fluid in your system, alternate between the two every time you change your fluid.

Hey Guys!
How's everyone doing?
Can you buy a bleeder in the GTA?
The blue has gone up a little, but I still get it for 1/2 of that price.

From Motive official site
http://www.wheelwax.ca/products/10051.html

The black label model allows you to turn the cap by itself, whereas the regular model you have to turn the cap and the bottle together.

$50.00 US is a decent price for a black label and a steal if it's in our dollars.
