Default line lock?

correct me if am wrong, but a line lock is a device that locks up the front brakes so you can do a burnout without holding down the brake pedal, providing a safer burnout/less strain on the rear brakes right?

I was thinking about putting one on my '86 one day, or is it only something good for a track only car?

ok, yeah, I may only visit the track maybe 3-4 times a year at the most once my car is finished, so I doubt I'll really need it...

sounds good. I hear you on the paycheck, I get paid by both jobs on friday[8D] booyah, which is good, I need to try and track down a carb for cheap, as well as get the upper half to my motormounts (i ordered coupe/hatch mounts, and I didnt realize I lacked the part that actually connects to the engine, all I have is the lower half that connects to the k-member, I have a thread about it, dunno if you saw it
