Line Lock question.

I was wondering what a good line lock kit is. The only one i could find on summit was the summit line lock kit which was 89.95. What other kits do they have?

Get the kit with pre-bent lines. Save alot of headaches.

Another option would be to buy the line lock kit offered by SLP. IMO, 215.00 is alot to pay for a line lock kit. I believe I paid 139.00 for my SLP kit.

I went with the SLP kit and have gone through 3 Biondo solinoids rebuilds because of leakge out of the piston through the case. This was in a 3 month period. I now have swiched to the hurst solinoid and have not had one problem since. I spent well over $200 in rebuilding the crappy one that SLP supplies. But to each his own.

I've got the TCI piece from Summit... payed like $69, bought raw line and the required adapters and bent/flared my own lines.. total cost was under $100, but I already had a flaring tool and bender.

Well I think the case was bad. I have several friends with the SLP unit and they have not had a problem. I guess I just got the lucky one.

Well i may just go with the whole kit from thunderracing.com. Because i don't have the tools for bending pipes and stuff. It will cost me more but at least hopefully it will save me some time and headaches.

A bender, cutter and flare tool isn't that much and you will always have it in your arsenal down the road. Just a thought. And it's easy to bend, flare and cut brake line.

i would go with the summit one, yes same as hurst, found out the hard way, bought the hurst....
anyway, it stainless not alum so you don't have to worry about stripping threads, and they are rebuildible.

wiring is not bad just do it one step at a time, i love the button they give you , works awesome on an m6.

you mean the car stays put but the clutch is smoking instead of the tires??

if so then it sounds like your clutch is about shot or too weak of a pressure plate.

how are you starting out, do you rev it and dump the clutch or are you slowly letting it out?
