How much fluid in our brake system?
I am planning on tracking my car more extensively this season and I am flushing the brake system completely. I was wondering how much brake fluid I would need to refill the system. I just want to be prepared when I get in the middle of doing this. As we all know, it is a pain to have to stop and go pick up something from the store right in the middle of busting your knuckles.

You might want to think about the ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid. My one day at the track (and I'm guessing you're talking about track and not AutoX) with my RX7 cooked the brand new DOT 4 fluid very badly. I normally track my Porsche with the super blue and I can get about 3-4 days before really needing a full bleed.
Another thing that really helps is power bleeder. Make bleeding into a one person 10 min thing http://www.eurosportacc.com/pbleed.htm

I've heard really good things about Valvoline's new synthetic fluid (from other racers) - I haven't used it yet.
