    And when you do a better application on your car I will love to see it
    1) you dont drift the car
    2) you dont rally the car

    3) Please Vlad, I know you're a smart man. In fact, everyone I've ever spoken to who's met you in person says you're a great guy. I'm not going to bash you... but at least spell the new modifications right. "Hydraulic"

    I wont put this sort of application on my current car.
    -its not a rally car
    -I will never build it into a club race car
    -Any race car for the track I ever build will never have an e-brake. We strip them out of any car we build for customers unless they expressly ask us to leave them.

      I don't understand why you have a problem with my "Hydraulic" hand brake? If you will not put this sort of application on your current car then don't. It's just that simple. I did it because I wanted to.

      I told you about the brake bias control that comes with "Hydraulic" hand brake set-up, that was the main reason I got it

          and then talk down to people without it

                I don't see the true merit of it, besides an addition to your already extensive modifications list. Its not of any worthwhile value.

                I assume its tied into the stock brake line/bias system.... so in the event of a brake failure, it wont provide stopping power, like the OEM cable activated system would.

                How often, would you, do you use your handbrake for stopping manuevers? The only time I could think of that is when passing a cop, and trying to slow without setting off your brake lights. However, given the "flashy" nature of your car, you'd be screwed anyways. I'm also willing to bet you have some form of V1/Passport system in the car.... and you use it, what appears to be, on track more than on the road. Again, making this point moot.

                And dont put "" around the proper spelling of the word, silly Vlad! ;)

                Eitherway, it looks to be cleanly installed, and another fine piece of craftsmanship by the RA crew.

                    Vlad and I are having a more than civil discussion, if immature posts like yours are avoided, I dont see why the thread would be locked.

                    Clearly, Vlad & I are able to continue a civil discussion, no matter what Heeter posts.


                    Thanks,

                      It has it's own separate master cylinder. The bias allows me to play with the amount of braking power that goes to either front or rear brakes. On very fast tracks (like Watkins Glen) I like more front braking power, on slow tracks (like Pocono) I preffer more rear bias. And with the insane motor power that I now have I do want to try some drifting just for the kicks

                        vlad, that is a clutch pump ? I'm looking to make my custom hand brake like that for my Race Jeep, installed rear discs and had to delete the original hand brake.

                        nice "alive interior" :D

                          Very trick setup.

                          Don't get the carbon dash though, its a piece of shit without a TON of extra fabrication.

                            How much did it cost you and where did you get it from? I have been looking for one of those recently.
