    Default hydro handbreak

    probably a stupid question but can you run a hyrdo handbreak on drum rear of a ae86 , if so would it be worth it and is there a guide of how to do it?

    You could. It's exactly the same as doing one for calipers.

    bascially you need to run the brake line that usually runs along your car to the diff, into the hydro handbrake and then the line will exit the handbrake and continue to the diff. in simple pulling the handbrake pushes the fluid to lock the rear brakes only as though you were using the brake pedal, it stumped me for a while until you think about how simple it is really

    would that only work becuase the front and rear brakes are on a different circuit yes??? (it doesnt put fronts on too)

    yeh thats correct. the master splits into 2 lines from the master in the engine bay so the rear line goes into the master on the handbrake. so it does not affect the front brake line

    do it i run one the best thing you can do for your rear tires to lock up
    the dyno pull to 300rwkw

    BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less
