Looks like the LSD works great... but what's wrong with your back brakes?

lol, looks good. But if you keep that up, you'd better have another spare laying around for when you trash the one you've got.

Glen, guess you have never done a power brake in any car before. The front brakes out power the rear and if you do it right, you can hold the brakes and do a NASTY burnout like Vince just did in that video!!

in my car doughnuts are easy, the hard part is "power braking." as soon as i tap the brakes slightly it comes to a stop.....i guess that's a good thing in case of an emergency but it doesn't let you be a cool kid

Me, too... I suppose I could slack up on the rear drums a bit , but TBPH I'm more interested in departing when under power, and stopping when not. Besides, I got no LSD yet.

Needed every bit of all four corners grabbing on the downhills of last local canyon run, up around Crestline & Waterman Canyon.

That is a cool run!! When I was in Cali a few weeks back on business, I took that drive up from San Bernardino to Crestline, then over to Silverwood lake and then back down the 15... nice run!

That exact one. I was able to keep up with the big boys well everywhere except for hte climbs... just not enough ponies in a stock 12A to keep up with those mothas.

I did manage to out-snake the green FD on the downhill side, though. I was matching him turn-for-turn, then he started cooking his brakes, and had to let up and let me by.

Fun!

I dont do it much. First i cant afford new tires and second i dont want to kill my car. I dont want to say its a money pit, but it is costly and times are tuff. I noticed one thing though. It feels real nice going into second now. The car feels "tighter?" I cant explain it.
