Yep I installed a line lock on my car. I wanted it mounted out of the way so I got about 3 feet of brake tubing to route to the line lock but it took me maybe an hour. piece of cake. just make sure you have a good flare tool and that you get a good seal. Brake fluid leaking is a bad thing for your braking and it is very caustic to paint.

yeah, with race gas i turned it up to 1.4 bar. when i try to do a burnout i dump the clutch at around 6k and the rear starts sliding around. i might have to do a linelock so i can just sit in oneplace instead of moving all over the place. who wants to help me put one in https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png kvn

Kevin if your car is pulling to the left or right while you do your burn out you need to adjust your tire pressure. I dont know what you set them at with MT's but on my nittos i run them at 15psi. Then you also need to account for your fatass (or mine) and add maybe one or two PSI for the drivers side to compensate. You can try a few settings to see what keeps the car straight.





Yes Bobby it is fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

i run them at 15 psi....neverthought to give more pressure on the driver side. i weight a hefty 180 lbs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png might do the linelock. i am eyeing the evo mr that will be coming out at the end of the year also as a daily driver/auto xer. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I can't remember if you should add or subtract air from the drivers side, try both and see which does the trick. You should get it to work. I weight 215 and I got it to stand straight. What size are your MT's and do you have them on stock rims?

26x10 by 16 on stock rims......i will experiment.

Awesome, thanks for the info.



Just as a general question, most of you guys that track weekly, are you using stock or light flywheels?

stock

Reason i ask is I know that you will get better launches with a stock flyhweel, and i may put my stockon back on this summer.

I've never driven a light flywheel'ed FD, so i cant really contribute.





I'd imagine the launch would be better because of the increased rotational mass, but do the effects of the light flywheel outweigh that after you get goin?

It wants to bog when you try to slip the clutch out. Its ok if you take it up past 5000k and dump it. Also it revs really fast so you can run through the gears faster. Its the bog thing that sucks for drag racing.
