The pics of the solenoid located on the frame are on my '95. Kind of like a stealth install, so nobody would see it under the hood and it's something different except I believe the heat from the cat nuked it.

My brakes work just fine though.

The other pics are of my automatic, the solenoid is mounted on the master cylinder.

All plumbing and wiring is the same as the '95.

As Hurst calls it, Roll Control. You plumb it into the front brake line to hold the front wheels locked while you hit the gas to do a burnout.

Some folks will use rear wheel line lock to hold on the starting line or even on a hill for daily driving(stick cars obviously).

It saves your rear brakes from overheating when doing burnouts. I've seen rotors turn bright orange and cars catch on fire because the brakes got too hot due to no line loc being used.

The first two videos are non line loc burnouts and the second two are with a line loc.

Jegs, around $74 including the installation kit.

I'll get a pic as soon as I get it installed, or you can stop by and check it out.

Weather permitting I'll be at MM next Friday.

Line lock burnouts are boring.

Make sure you hook up the wires right or poof smells great,and its not rubber.
Becareful when you use it ,at times if you don't wait for the ABS noise in the rear and pump up the brakes it can lock the front tires on you .
Just bang the break peddle with your foot and mash the buttom a few times and it will unlock.
My button I ran to the shifter,just below the shift ****.
It cuts the pucker factor when at the drags,doing a burn out.
The car will sit there all day if you want .
Make sure you read the directions and snugg up the nut on the top of the unit.
I think they ship them with the nut lose,just to see if you read the directions.
