Oga, I'm hinting that my current rotors are a little wrapped and I'm trying to change to a premium one that will at least last me a few years with confidence and you're saying I should change fluid to remedy it? Oya tell me, what is the current brake fluid I'm using in my car since you've researched it? grin grin grin
Is your speed up to Mach 1 that you can't give in a public forum grin grin


I want to be on the correct side of the law

A Japanese once posted a video of the insanely high speeds he achieved and he was charged

Insane speed is just what it is....no judge can tell what it is.

I bought Bosch rotors myself....I am saying that in addition to the rotors...use a higher spec'd fluid

I understand practical but I also understand doing it in a safe manner.

Don't go chasing BMW (Ultimate Driving Machines) with a Honda Accord without doing deep upgrades.

PS: Not all Americans are enthusiasts. Many Nigerians are enthusiasts.
I disagree egun baba...... It depends on the driver majorly. As long as a Toyota or Honda has been maintained properly, it will do whatever you want it to do against BMW or Benz. The difference however is what the objective is...... [fastest from 0-60 or fastest lap time]. I have used this baby below to teach a range rover what it means that the driver is an important factor in driving. We both did a little over 200km/h in our cars but he couldn't hold it for long which resulted in me leaving the range behind. In other words, I can try chase a Mercedes benz C350 in a Toyota Corolla. How far the chase goes will be determined by the C350 driver's reaction and response. cool

I disagree of course but we'll hash this out on a different thread.

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!! DID YOU JUST SLAP ME ACROSS THE FACE WITH A GAUNTLET?

I used to race in college, fair warning. It was a while ago but I was running a 1981 Honda Civic DX with a nitrous kit. I stopped once I had my first kid. Funny thing is I had a bad accident that left me with attached scar after I had stopped. Apparently sore loser from a previous race saw me on expressway one day and flipped my car SMH.

Hmmm.. Nah my RDX i go run stock oh... If my husband will let me. Don't make him start putting together a monster.

Abnormal. ...in Nigeria, women are meant to drive slow and steady, seen a few exceptions who drive fast and who drive cross country e.g. Lagos to Abuja

Shooooooootttt. Man, it's not uncommon for me to drive from Texas to North Carolina on a whim. Driving is cathartic for me. I drive to relax.

Speaking of oil. I should be un the garage changing oil in three vehicles (how they all came up at the same time befuddles me.

But not in this cursed heat.

I run M1 with MANN Filters and do 5,000 miles oil changes but I'll admit that I have pushed it to 6,500 before.

Personally, I do not believe in the lifetime oil stuff and think it's malarkey. I lost the transmission in my 740iL because if the alleged sealed lifetime trans oil thingie.

I see.

I was including transmission oil and filter too.

BMW and Audi markets "some of" their cars as having sealed transmission with lifetime oil. It has been a disaster for post-lease owners.

@radautoworks, With the way you guys are going, I have no doubt you will do well, especially in that axis.

Last Tuesday, I needed to buy a new radiator for a Toyota Sienna, and my mechanic directed me to a shop in Ladipo. Because I was not expecting such elegant building to be selling auto parts, I missed it twice!

Eventually called the owner and he told me that was indeed the building. I was ushered into a posh compound with security. These guys sell parts off standard PC inventory - Toyota only, and people were just coming in - mechanics, owners, resellers

Don't worry about patronage, because it will come. Just maintain good standard. Kudos!


Good day

Can you please make their details available do we can also get something good from them
