ar design - 335 Line Lock - any interest?

ar design · 12-05-2008, 12:05 PM

Once both tires are spinning, they will keep spinning.

There are a few of us out there. I have broken the rear-end as well as jacked up the brakes heating the tires up brakestanding.

You need to spin the tires over to clear debris (street tires) or heat the tires up for optimum traction (drag radials/ slicks).

Avoid driving directly through the waterbox. Back the rear tires into the waterbox and pull out about 3 feet or so. Heat them up in place. If both tires are wet... they'll spin pretty evenly.

This gadget should help quite a bit! All the best to the OP in getting it to the market.

Prototype is on the car. Should have video soon here, it has been snowing quite a bit which makes things a bit harder

I know what you mean, it has been snowing here too.

you dont even need to get into the water box.The tires will break loose like you were in the water box to begin with,and the cars rear will stay cleaner(LOL).

sounds interesting... if the price is right - i will bite

I think retail is going to be $349. A bit higher than originally anticipated but will have a relatively plug and play wiring harness, stainless steel brake lines, two solenoids, brackets, and adapter fittings. Not sure on a GB at this point, we shall see!

T7R_Sky · 12-17-2008, 04:54 PM

Subscribed! I want a line lock! haha

It's mounted on top of the hard line and the bracket holding it; I'll try to take some pics.

We weren't able to finish today as there was a fitting missing (I'm sure it was just an over sight); I mounted the switches in my center console; hopefully I get the fitting by this Friday, I'll take some pics then.

will your kit work with aftermarket calipers? some will only mate & properly pressurize the OEMS.

Also can partial kit be ordered (would like different switches & mounting lcations etc)?

Is 1 main soleniod 4 front main line an option?
