| The master cylinder has metal lines you wont be able to clamp them off, plus i dont think it would be possible... easiest way is to go to supercheap, get some tempoary brake clamps which are plastic and clamp em off.... about 10 dollars for two clamps!!! |

| or you can get a line locker setup from b&m I think it is. This will enable you to flick a switch closing a solenoid valve which will disable the rear brakes. Not street legal and would not recommend in your street car. Very dangerous if you forget to flick the switch back. |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

Nodg going down a steep decline & tries to brake 'Oh **** flick the switch back, flick the switch back!'
Nah it wouldnt be too dangerous, after all 70 percent of your braking capacity is at the front of the car! |

| True that 70% of braking is done via the front brakes but is 100% not better than 70% especially if you find yourself in an emergency situation. |

| Thats why i said it wouldnt be *too* dangerous, it will be *better* having 100% braking effort but then again it will never be *best* especially if he has the stock v6 brakes... Its a skid car which should be off the road on a pad if he smashes it its his own fault :) |

| And of course, smashing it on a skid pad is a lot less likely to hurt anyone |
