So far there are just under 5k miles on it including 23 track days and we have done nothing but replace consumables and put gas in it.

He stated, "Different brake fluids can dramatically alter the brake pedal feel with no other system changes." This all being based on the different compressibility of the various brake fluids.

The last 2 seasons with the IPGparts.com All Motor CRX have been trying to say the least.
