![]() ![]() A car with more than 300-horsepower was considered to be another world of performance as most made do with significantly less than that. There were no roll cages, race suits, HANS devices, Nomex underwear or fire suppression systems, although helmets were mandatory. There were no real safety regulations in those days. I attended those first events where competitors would arrive in their own street cars, compete, and then drive home again. ![]() I’m fortunate enough to have been involved in drifting since the very early days in Europe. Even describing drifting as a ‘sport’ will almost certainly raise an eyebrow or two amongst some of you… Whether that is a positive or negative reaction, will be down to your own experiences with the sport. Today, drifting will almost certainly illicit some sort of pre-conception from most people in the car tuning world. We check out the 2JZ E92 drift car you see here, driven by the one and only James Deane.įeature first appeared in Fast Car.

To be completely fair though I'm not sure if Ive ever tried foot-braking while on the handbrake. It has pedal interference, but never experienced the locking issue. ![]() Oh and personally the compbrake hydraulic is nice. If I hadn't throw away so much crap during last years move I'd have the setup prototyped already. I'll over to Harri's place in the next day or so and try them out on an E36 rear end he has laying around. Have 6 of these calipers at the shop right now. Is there enough room to run extra calipers? This is a similar setup on a 03 mustang cobra You could also use another stock caliper and cut off a bracket from a junk car or another set of trailing arms and swap sides so the bleeders will be right side up cut your backing plate and mount the calipers forward of the normal ones. I am waiting for his setup to be done before I reconfigure my system. Im not sure when he will be done but I do know he is in the process of test fitting it. Meaning you can run your ebrake to half of the caliper and your normal brakes through the other half. So the two pistons on the top are seperate from the 2 pistons on the bottom. Well Sean Love is working on a setup for the E36 that would use a set of 4 piston calipers for the rear and each caliper has a seperate brake curcuit. Powered by max or comp brake make the best hydro's. Nah stay away from the ksports if you can, they look cool but the master cyl is china boop and goes bad very quickly. ![]()
