You will only need one litre of ATE Superblue to do a full flush of the system. If you take a turkey baster to remove the fluid in the master cylinder you will save a lot of time/hassle.
Cobalt Friction offers a discount to members of the S2000 Club of America. They carry both ATE Superblue & ATE TYP-200 - here is their address: http://www.cobaltfriction.com
Best of luck!

One can will last a life time. It only takes about 250ml (a cup) to bleed to blue the whole system and the stuff lasts forever. 8 track days and counting. Brakes are solid as a rock and the fluid looks as good as when I put it in.
Contact Schatten of IDi, he has it in stock.

I wish I had this information yesterday. I used almost 2 Liters of fluid last night to flush my brakes with Valvoline synthetic. My tubing has become a bit discolored over the years, so it was hard to tell if the OEM fluid was still coming out, or if the new fluid was coming out.
About how many pumps of the brake pedal would you say it takes to pump fluid from the reservoir to the right / rear bleed screw?

blue stuff is only a few months?
Can anyone confirm this?

Once opened, the shelf life of any brake fluid is limited. They absorb water from the air, which in turn lowers the boiling point. Just try to ensure the container remains airtight when closed.
Alternately, some people bleed their brakes quite frequently to avoid the issue altogether. There are several very cheap brake fluids that have a reasonably high dry boiling point; even though the wet boiling point sucks, it doesn't matter because they change it so often.
