its not that car. i'm talking about my other s14 i'm building. i have no clue wtf he did. i fixed that car, and it runs again.

i havent pulled the motor apart to tell exactly what happened.

the spark plug wires are practically permanently part of the spark plugs now so i cant even get the plugs off to do a compression test.

this issue is a few pages back now but if you guys are trying to drift with a cable ebrake my 100% suggestion is to use like 10% foot brake as you pull the handle. it wont really slow you down, but the extra force from the hydraulics being activated will help lock the rear wheels. since the front isnt getting the 100% cable tug too, you won't lock up the fronts at all.

this is VERY common technique and then when you switch to a hydro, if you do the same, you will feel the pedal and handle battling each other over the fluid pressure, unless you run a seperate capiler/resevoir for the handbrake.

I also suggest that your FULL handle movement is about 4 inches from flat to about 45* angle where its so tight you can go past that without Hulking it up. This ensures that you are getting full use without having to have your elbow going past your body backwards.

*If I just pull my cable brake i get the inside wheel to lock... but with the foot break 10% addition, I can get it full locked rear at 100mph.

try it sometime.

Apparently people seem to think they need to be so resourceful, that they use hockey pucks for engine mounts.

Weird, I usually figured that someone would use, engine mounts, for uhhh holding up their engine, and hockey pucks, mayyybe for hitting around on the ice ? Possibly throwing at someone if need be ?
