Im at the same stage.

Ive used the 20/50 mineral oil ( cheapest s**t i can find) to use for 500 miles then change filter and oil again, then the same grade for another 500, change the filter then put the real stuff in.

Gearbox oil ive chosen is a fully synthetic 75/90. (Ive got a non slipper). I phoned CTS and spoke to Bernie and he said that the semi/fully synthetic oils are good for my box. Give then a ring to confirm that its the same for the LSD box. (0141-647-5666)

As for the brake setup maybe AP Racing 5.1 would do but dont hold me to that, but im sure its good for track action!!

Ep90 is the right stuff for a LSD box.

Track use you can use dot 4 or dot 5.1
The dot 5.1 has a higher boiling point so prob better suited for ya, but it absorbs water more, so regular fluid changes will be best.

Thanks Jay...

Does anyone know how much the brake system holds fluid wise..!?

Can't remember off hand, the Haynes will tell you, but say 1 litre to allow for bleeding and spare for top up

[TIL13R]

Ok so 1.5 Litres should be ok

[jayrs]

Yeah, unless you have a right mare bleeding the brakes and go through it all

[TIL13R]

Really want to give it a good flush out...

[jayrs]

Litre and half should be enough if you think it won't be get another litre.

You going to pressure bleed it all through?

[TIL13R]

Yeah it will be pressure blead

[jayrs]

Good stuff best way mate
