How to Bench Bleed the Master Cylinder & ABS
If you've ever accidentally sucked air into your master cylinder this is what you have to do to get all the air out of the brake system. On the S2000 you can also bench bleed the ABS along with the master cylinder.
Here's my how-to with a pic of the S2000 with the bench bleeding kit hooked up to the ABS. You can also connect to the normal master cylinder output ports to simply bleed the MC.

A vacuum system won't get the air out of the master cylinder without using a couple of gallons of brake fluid, and even then you probably wouldn't get it all. You also run the risk of pulling air into the system, which is similar to what happens with Speed Bleeders with inadequate thread sealant. There's a reason you have to bench bleed when you install a new master cylinder.

So this is essentially bench bleeding the MC while it's in the car. From the photo on your site it looks like you do one corner at a time. Do you follow any particular sequence? Do you knock the ABS or MC with your hand or anything to try and get more bubble to come out?
