Default Brake overhaulin'

This weekend was another Bleedfest at Summit Point. I did three bleeds on Saturday and two on Sunday.
A few of things factored into this:
1) I was not bleeding them correctly
2) Twenty year old parts only last so long under track conditions
3) I'm a chronic late braker

So everything is comming off and being replaced or rebuilt. The car is currently on jack stands waiting for caliper rebuild kits to arrive. As well as a new master cylinder and braided lines. I am also going to have the booster vacume checked once it's all back to gether. I will be switching to Castrol High temp (read: high cost) brake fluid. The idea of bleading the brakes once a season sounds pretty nice. Last, the fog lights are comming out in place of brake cooling hoses. I'm currntly running the snorkle scoops with an OG ducting kit with block off plates. If this doesn't work, I'm goin' to C-GT ceramic brakes.

I'd like to thank all of those who lent a hand with the numerous bleeds. It would have been a big crap sandwich with out the help.
