Whizbang will become famous soon enough
Default Boiled the brakes, fronts faded bad (not rx7)
so i acquired a 1980 toyota celica that i am using as my rallycross car and eventually my rally car while i build the rx7 (so i can learn on this slow car and build the rx7 correctly).

anyway, been doing some seat time in this car and found the brakes to boil pretty bad. Didnt think you could actually HEAR it boil either...

but i digress, the fronts faded bad, the rears not as much and it became rather unstable if you had to use the brakes for any reason.

So what is a good cure for this? Im going to flush the brakes and replace with the best fluid i can find. But is this enough? Or should i look to whats available for larger brakes? Im sure some other toyota model has something a tad larger.
