Default Whos got a line lock?

Want to install a line lock. Who makes the unit and anyone install themselves and how difficult is it? Any issues that you would give a heads up to? Thanks.

I have the TCI unit. Installed it yesterday. :D Worst part of the job was routing the wiring and finding a place for the switch. Pretty straight forward easy job. Do a search many members have installed the line lock on their cars. :cheers:

I have the same TCI unit which is best for the A4, installed it myself. I had to have one fitting (line) made going from the line lock to the porportional valve.

Dano,

Line lock is a just a device that locks up the front breaks to allow you to get a burn out at the track in order to heat the tires. It is hard to get a good burn out without damaging your rotors if you try to brake to get the burnout going.

Roger Vinci at Vinci-Hiperformance in Orlando installed mine, the button is on my shifter where I can easily trigger the unit and it has a red light to let you know you are applying it. I think this unit is his design.
