choleaoum Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ahhhhh, doh. Brain fart. So the back of the brake line from the back just T's off damn. Well to continue to remain on topic, how well built do you think the second master cylinder is? I also got mine from ebay but looks fairly cheap. Might consider upgrading to the wilwood one.

choleaoum Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just totaled the install kit and sheesh it's at 120 bucks! Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Im sure it could be done cheaper with just hard line... Quote Link to comment

choleaoum Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's the fitting itself that's expensive. Quote Link to comment
shakotan710 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've been thinking about doing this forever, and now I can actually think about doing it in my 710, have you guys had any problems yet once it was installed? Quote Link to comment

jaredperry Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 How did you tie into the rear brakes? Can you post pictures and maybe a decription of parts used? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 How did you tie into the rear brakes? Can you post pictures and maybe a decription of parts used? If you follow the first post... its like someone magically posted a description and photos on how they did it... 3 Quote Link to comment
jeph Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 nice write up, ordering one next week. thanks! Quote Link to comment
LimpMode Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Does anyone see an immediate problem with flipping the MC 180 degrees, so you don't have all that line looping up into the car? 1 Quote Link to comment
soundboi Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 these are rebuild able? like whats the lifespan on one of these units? i would like to plumb one of these into my laurel. But i wanted to keep a lock off from the front master cylinder, so foot brakes would be front alone. Hydro rear, and open everything to keep driving brakes Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Does anyone see an immediate problem with flipping the MC 180 degrees, so you don't have all that line looping up into the car? Only maybe bleeding the air out. these are rebuild able? like whats the lifespan on one of these units? i would like to plumb one of these into my laurel. But i wanted to keep a lock off from the front master cylinder, so foot brakes would be front alone. Hydro rear, and open everything to keep driving brakes No. The stock set up has built in bias with more braking to the front because weight shift and engine add weight and traction to the front tires so they are harder to lock up. At the same time weight is lifted off the rears and this decreases traction and makes lock up easier. You could never modulate this as good as the stock set up but you could lock them up. In all things, engineer for worst case scenarios. Panic stop with avoidance steering around a danger and you're tired. You need both hands to wrestle the steering you do NOT have time to grab the handle for the rear brakes and try to do as well as the stock set up. The only use for this set up is to lock the rear wheels on a turn to force the car into severe oversteer. In other words drifting. That's fine, but oversteer is not the aim and to be avoided when making a controlled panic stop. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Mike I just about brought up this as a drift mod. I agree in a tense every day avoidance scenario I am white knuckles and retard gripping a wheel pumping my brakes. Might as well do 2 upright levers for drag steering too like on sand rails? Good work on the write up. Quote Link to comment
