I have not bled/changed my Motul fluid since March with no issues.

You might want to do that when you swap the rotors on. A year is the absolute max you want to run a high temp fluid. After 1 year you're probably at about 2% moisture and boiling point has been reduced 35%.

Oh I know. I SHOULD at least bleed the brakes after every event, but I am lazy lol.

I just remembered though, I did swap the fluid when I changed the lines in September. Forgot about that.

Nah, every event is overkill, save that for the teams with a full crew. Speed bleeders make it pretty easy but it's a pain to get to the inside bleeder especially on the rear.

I don't know, if I was you I would do it every weekend. I do it every weekend in my race car, or for a single test day (probably more like what you are doing) right after the test day.

Fresh coat of wax and back to being riced out with all of the sponsor stickers....

Found this fitting seeing as I am going to a Hellaflush meet this weekend.

The florescent yellow/black color scheme is designed to match the Berk Technology Time Attack 135i's look for 2010 since my 370Z will be used as the official Berk Technology demo car.

After looking at the photos, what needs to happen next, looks wise, is to get rid of all of the bright red on the car. The JDM fog light will be replaced with the stock "smoked" piece, the tail lights and third brake light will get smoked, and the tow hook will go black or florescent yellow.

Tomorrow its off to Bakersfield for a quick overnight stay then onto Buttonwillow Raceway Sunday morning for the Hellaflush 3.5 Car Show, Team Drift Championship Drift Event, and Berk Technology Charity Ride-A-Long program! More pics from that event next week and as always, I will be updating my Twitter live from the event with news and updates about how our fundraiser is going and more.
