i have a 2011 cadillac cts-v with stabletrack which can be turned off but it pretty much controls each wheel independently to keep the car from losing control. so i had to tee into both rear break lined then run a single li8ne into the handbreak then a single line out of the handbreak into another tee which connected both side rears together again. do you have any advice on this? it feels like the handbreak does not create enough pressure to lock up the rear tires
@rallyactionwa3 ай бұрын
Advice? Not really. In our situation, we remove the oem brake lines/system and start with all new lines and plumbing. Teeing into an existing line or system could cause all sorts of problems, especially where ABS/CPS/Traction control is present.

@rallyactionwa10 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! Ps:The cables are mostly double insulated from the factory. As the plugs are all pre-terminated it's also impossible to get heat shrink over them that will shrink down tight enough to hold the cables. To stop movement and potential damage, all the cables are tied together in a bundle at the back of the ECU. Then when the ECU is fitted in the car, we cable tie the bundle to OEM wiring to secure it in place. We've found this works well to stop wires rubbing on the ECU housing.

No!! Banning cars is the dumbest thing a governing body could ever do. CAMS back in the day drove so many people out of the sport it wasn’t funny. Best thing is to use air restrictors to close the field up. Make small changes on the run and keep it competitive. Keep it simple. Rules should be set so the BOP is done mathematically and on procedure and not to the discretion of the organisers. That way it takes the accusations of favouritism out of it.

It's a similar issue with the massive issues facing tarmac rally competition in Australia at the moment. My opinion is probably very unpopular, but that's nothing new.... We need to find a polite way to get the orthodontists, orthopedic surgeons, hedge fund managers, IT Contractors, lawyers and Daddy's Race Team etc to either buy less expensive cars and have just as much fun, or get them to move-up to higher level competition where they will either sink or swim regardless of budget. IMO the recent fatalities in Targa Racing were in a small part a result of very wealthy blokes in their 50's, 60's or even older buying state-of-the-art 600HP German Beetles, for more than half million taco shells, and then entering complex/difficult events like Targa Tasmania, WITHOUT twenty or thirty years of karts, club cars, gymkhana, whatever under their belts. Their grass-roots resumes are a little "thin". It's like rocking up to Commonwealth Games and swimming against the pros, just because you can afford a big pool at home. Older blokes with less-than-stellar reflexes, skills and experience in scalpel sharp supercars on narrow, wet roads and a big shiny chrome trophy has proved to be an unfortunate combination. I know there's a lengthy license process, but those with excess coin can get through it faster when they're focused on getting to "first grade" as quickly as possible. Entry fees and tyre consumption are no handbrake for these racers. But more importantly, the whole point is being missed. You can have just as much fun in a 20 year old WRX. Or an XR6 Falcon. Or an old classic. Yeah, you could die in those cars too, but they are theoretically more forgiving when you run out of talent. (I'll just put my flame suit and helmet on now, while everyone loads up to shoot down my awful judgmental comments)
