ok first remove boot that surounds e break handle. then incert a penny. push the penny in as far as you can with your finger. reinstall ebreak boot. should look like this.
and when you want to have the ebreak work pull it out a little. ect. ect.

 

Interesting

 

I like having and ebrake for normal parking. I'll stick with my Japan2LA button

 

still works for regular parking. just pull forward. again poor mans cuctco

 

Your shift boot is nuts.

"boots wit the furrrrrrr*

Think a bottle cap would work?

 

tape works just fine

 

"boots withthe fur " thats a great one. i wanna add some googly eyes. so it will look like a muppet. a dead one.

 

boom!

 

 

Dead muppet shift boot? Originality points.

 

The spelling in this thread is atrocious. Also, this is your e-brake we're talking about. The thing that keeps your car from rolling down a hill when you're not in it. Is this something one really wants to "budget"?

I think you're better off paying the $15 for an e-brake button.

 

might have to put this on the list for things to do once i arrive at the track and b4 i leave the track.

 

i got mine in ionized pink

 

I got mine in gun powder and dead babies

 

how did you rid that handle. and penny button does not effect e-break function.

 

That's a hydro handbrake. You bolt the **** down wherever you feel like it, plumb your lines and presto. You have that or any other design or setup you can think of. Good setup keeping both considering you can't jab the brakes and hit the hydro at the same time.


Your write up helped someone! Thank you dude. I'm all for getting the job done for cheaps!



You could just keep a piece of pipe or a block of wood in your car to put under the tires when parked if you're not man enough to pull the handle forward to get the penny off the button


Yes, this is **** someone REALLY wants to "budget". $15 saved to buy smokes and beer to support my rock n roll lifestyle.

I was bored and had insomnia last night so while drilling a billiard ball for a shift **** (free counterweighted ****....because i'm cheap) i spotted a penny in the recess for the idiot cluster.

I cut the leather wrap off my e-brake handle and then slid the plastic handle underneath off. Penny works splendid. I'll replace it with a bottle cap when i find one worthy.

 

thanks man

 

Per Formula D rules if you run a hydraulic hand brake it needs to have it's own calipers, allowing the driver to "jab the brakes" and operate the hydro at the same time. Keep that in mind when installing something like this, if it fails, your brakes fail. Hence the dedicated calipers to not interfere with OE brakes.

 

Dang

 

Cool. More rules. I'm still putting a hydro in my car. I have no desire to go into debt building my car to formula d spec.

 

so much fail in that first post...

not only did you waste a penny... but you are now stuck never having an ebrake...

if you remove the little rod/spring when you un-screw your button, you can pull it all out, and then your ebrake is free, and wont/can never lock on its own. one reason why i straight up removed all that crap is because revving to 8k, and dumping clutch with your ebrake ******* stuck up, sucks so bad...

if you remove all that crap, you can still use that bottom lever on the serated little gear thing to lock your ebrake up with ypur finger, and when you want to release it from locked, you just pull the handle up and it releases...

ill post a pic tomorrow. take that crap out before you blow your tranny or DS or some dumb ****.

 

It works exactly as he said it does. The ratchet mech can't work if the penny is against the button. Pull the handle off the button and presto, parking brake.

Never having an e-brake? Lol.

 

thank you

 

Isn't it funny when "infected panda" did this mod and explained how to have an operational E-brake, but everyone totally overlooked that, until somebody else actually did it?
