johnc Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I wasn't trying to imply that my setup was better then the Arizona Z Car setup. I am able to fabricate parts so my cost was cheaper then what most others would have to pay. I'll probably offer for sale the fabricated parts... someday... when I feel like making more sets... one of these days when I'm not so busy. I'm not ducting any air to the fronts yet. I'm planning on building an air dam/splitter soon so that's when I'll build some ducting to the front rotors. And I do have something resembling a web site in progress on my laptop. Hopefully by the end of June I'll have it hosted somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETEW Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 John, Sorry if I sounded condesending. I just wished I had the skills of some the members on this board (yourself included). I could save myself a ton of money that way. Either way I am very excited to feel the power of my new brakes on the car. It should provide some breathtaking stops.

Mikelly Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Pete, YA DUMMY! I"m not that far from you...You need a road trip! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Mike, I really am trying to get the car on the road so I can make it to your picinic. I am really anxious to see some of the other cars that guys have on the board. I am in the process of doing the motor. I think this winter might be time for me to look into your adjustable suspension, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 BTW john, small correction to your post. It is http://www.fonebooth.com, not phonebooth..... You need to scroll to the bottom of the page to the small link that says: "automotive". -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Heck I even a got a line lock with it for nothing. Unless they have changed line locks, the one supplied with the AZ Zcar setup is intended to be used in lieu of a parking brake. It is not suitable for drag racing use to my knowlege.

WHP Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I tried a linelock for a parking brake on my 510. It bled down and my car with 1 week old paint job rolled across the parking lot and into a concerete wall, DOH! Somehow I managed to not have it all the way into 1st gear. Not cool being paged to the front office just 2 days after everbody at work was outside admiring my newly completed project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Well they do require you to A: Put the car in gear... (Sorry, had to comment) and B: make sure all air is out of the lines. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 What I don't understand is how could it only be good for a parking brake but not for doing big smokies? As long as it holds the pressure in the line then the brakes are on, so why can't it be used as a line lock. Oh well, either way, it will used as a parking brake, too.

Well, it's meant to be used on the rear brake, so that would kill the smoky burnout thing. You have to apply the brakes harder than the line lock pressure to get it to release - you can't just flip a switch an have it let go. I guess if you want to install it on the front brakes and just use it to heat the tires it would work for that. Forget using it to launch, though.
