Yowzer Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Have heard ya can if you still retain the standard cable brake, but dunno what truth there is to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well cable aint really going to work on my car. Was thinking a hydraulic could have worked. Mind you i know nothing what so ever about hydraulic either. Just there is almost no lines to make cables work on fucking thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 have a look on the LVSA website or talk to your/any engineer. but dont waste your time asking a bunch of idiots like us, if you went on advice from the interwebs youd be screwed.

RUNAMUCK Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 you can run one legally, but you will need a motorsport authaurity card to get a wof. This requires a motorsport logbook. So if you're not using your car on a track, you re gonna need a cable one too........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
