Line Lock installed

Grip Grip · 11-07-2015, 10:21 PM

I recently bought a second hand line lock from BostonBeemah, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Should have the video rotated tonight at some point.

Is it weird that I have no idea what that is?

Unless you're a 1/4 mile addict, you don't need to know.

If you want to do a good burnout in the 335, you need a line lock. This is critical for those of us that race the car.

A line lock is a device that allows the front brakes to lock independently of the rear brakes via a switch, so you can spin the back wheels without the car moving off the line. Good way to leave your money on the pavement (not on the tires) for those who need to do that.

Huh? The driveway burnout was to test that it was working properly. The next burnout will be with the ET Streets at the track. This is probably a pointless mod unless you track the car or like to do smokey burnouts to impress your friends.

Nice!
LSD?

DylanPrasad · 11-08-2015, 05:34 PM

I NEED!!!

I'm sure you could piece a setup together, but I don't know specifics. I could offer up help with the wiring though.

BostonBeemah · 11-13-2015, 03:20 PM

Enjoy it brother! One of the best investments in the car. Saves your rear brakes from getting killed every time you need to heat up the rear tires at the track. Very clean install as well!

NoSlow5oh · 11-13-2015, 04:43 PM

All my mustangs were manuals and I used to hate having to do a burnout to heat up the slicks/drag radials. Felt just as bad as the 6K rpm launches.

Dark_Knight_335 · 11-13-2015, 05:40 PM

I have a LSD. but at some point during my drives it seems to hinder more than it helps... am I missing something here?

As the OP stated this is for drag racers who run slicks or some sort of drag radial tire. Drag racers do burnouts to increase the temp of the tires to help activate the sticky compounds in them that allow for greater traction off of the line.

I want one but they aren't dot approved (at least the AR design which is the only one for BMW I know of) and people have suggested not the best idea for a daily.

335iN54enthusiast · 09-02-2019, 08:30 AM

I have a you tube video on the line lock kit install...check it out. It was the AR design kit from ecs tuning.

titan.n54 · 09-19-2022, 03:49 PM

Currently I already have the stainless brake lines installed... which components will need to buy separately (and where)?
