I'd really like to get a line lock, as they are $100-200 and it looks so cool to just sit there and not move while at the track smoking them up... I want I want!


Summit and Jegs have a bunch of different brands, some with separate installation kits, etc.

What do you guys have and recommend for ease of install and how good it works?

 

hurst, don't buy the install kit, the fittings aren't the same flare as thirdgens. i got all the fittings i needed from auto zone on a saturday nite.

i was looking into that kit a few weeks ago.

 

you can get the fittings you need various places....the easiest is the junkyard, by taking the other master cylinder lines off of old camaros/birds...

i have a biondo line lock.....it works mint, i think it cost 40 bucks, cause it doesnt say hurst on it

 

Ok, so Hurst is $50 more for the name, just like Sony lol


So where does this thing pipe into the brake line? And how do you use it? Do you have to push the brakes and flip the switch or something?


Oh yeah... what happens if you do it by accident on the highway or something? That would suck!

 

pretty much....all line locks are just solenoid actuated valves that can handle brake line pressure.

mine is between the MC and the proportioning valve, but most kits install after the valve between the PV and the brake line

you push the brakes to apply line pressure....and then push the line lock button...which closes the valve and locks the brake pressure in the front system.....

the switch is momentary so as soon as you let it go it releases......if you hit the button while driving, as long as your foot isnt on the brake, there is no line pressure present....so nothing would happen..

 

if you dont know you pressed it the solonoid would be clossed so you wont be able to get pressure to the breaks so you wont be able to stop

 

That's why you should use a momentary on/off switch instead of a regular on/off switch. If you bump it, it'll just activate for the time you've bumped it instead of staying on.

 

yup, thats what most of them come with anyways

 

Ok, so it's easy enought to install then? No strange tools or anything?


Also, I was looking at the Hurst one, it's a good choice? I didn't know if it mattered what one I got; as they are just a solenoid and some piping.

 

the hurts ones are good...just overpriced
