Something different for my S13
I wanted to clear up some room for an upcoming swap and smooth up my firewall so I decided to do something a little different. This is a reverse mount 90 degree brake setup that is used in alot of Boyd Coddington's cars. It basically puts all brake components under the dash
Sorry for the crappy pics but it is hard to get a good shot of this installed

Well I actually first seen it on one of those shows on Discovery and after searching high and low I found the same setup. When I called the company about it the guy on the phone kept referring to "the Coddington cars" and when I recieved their catolog with the parts it had alot of part I've seen on the show (rear ends, ect) and one of the pics looks like it was taken in Boyds shop.
As far as bleeding, that will all be done before the dash goes back in and if I ever do have to mess with that stuff the dash isn't too difficult to get out now that all the other stuff is gone. Thanks for the compliments!

Ummm....then why don't all cars come with them?? Dual is usually used as a redundant setup, case one fails or a brake line is cut you still have some sort of brakes. Important when you have open wheel racing where the wheel can be snapped off easily, not so important on stock type cars.

he majority of cars don't, and that setup is a very good saftey wist and it will give alot make pressure than your brake booster will supply, + when you get high performance cams, your brake booster won't be much help.
Not so important on stock type? Is this a stock car? I dont think so.
