Default PERMANENT Line Lock Price Reduction!!!!


Thanks for the pic j0n!!

After some careful analyzing and consideration, I've decided that even though I offer a very reasonably priced line lock kit for our C5 Corvette's, that they're still too expensive. So,

As of today, the entire kit will now be priced at $150 shipped for the standard kit, and $160 shipped for the kits that have the optional ash tray covering switch panel.

This represents a savings of $15 per kit, and just furthers my commitment to offer the best kit I can at the lowest reasonable price. Again, this is NOT a sale, this is a permanent price drop!!


Below is a pic of a standard kit with all items included (save for convoluted tubing, not pictured).


Here is an image of the optional switch mounting plate:


For any other switch plate requests, please contact Beer99C5@FastbirdPerf.com via PM on here or Email, as I only stock the switch panels shown above.

Thanks to everyone for their patronage and support thus far. This has been a task at times, but has been quite worth it also thanks to all the happy customers.

None. My former guinea pig is trying to sell his car so I'm not going to do a bunch of testing when he's trying to sell. Still would like a car locally (St. Louis) to do some work on though, as I've got a couple more ideas in mind.

So this kit can be used on what model years exactly? I have a 98 which I will be taking to the strip and would be interested in something like this.

Let me know, thanks

I'm sorry I didn't see this post get updated yesterday for some reason.

EZrider4u2 -- If you 98 has the ABS pump located in the engine bay then I have a kit for your car. If the ABS pump is not up front and is instead located behind the differential in the rear of the car, I do not have a kit at this time.

For reference: Look at where the silver brake lines are going as they turn on the left hand side of this picture. If you're seeing that in your car, I have a kit for you.

Well, don't get completely discouraged. I'm going to try to work something out again on the 97-early 98 cars.

Did the pic of the burnout not help?!

Press the brake, Flipp the switch, let go of brake (brake STAYS engaged) and you do a burnout, a long smokey burnout.

kornfreak_401 pretty much hit it. It's a dragstrip use tool, for doing less damaging burnouts to the brakes and driveline. More consistent too.

Maybe a silly question, but does this work on a A4?

I've been getting sporadic email updates, sorry about not seeing this sooner. Works like a champ on an A4.

I'm trying. Biggest issue is lack of space in the back to work with, and lack of proper adapters for the front connectors to make something work. I just sketched out a new idea that might work though, just have to get my hands on a 97 again.
