So stoked, in fact, that we may even have a second video and story for you this week, if this head cold doesn’t completely kick my ass and Pete’s able to work his video editing magic.Īs you’ll recall if you’ve been following the build so far, we lopped 7-seconds off the 11.2-seconds we’d need to find to achieve our goal by installing Eibach coilovers, Gram Light wheels wrapped in Hankook Ventus RS-3 tires, and Stoptech rotors, pads and brake lines, but we couldn’t ignore the slipping clutch or clunking ball joints and bushings any longer.

Spring has finally sprung around here, though, and we’re stoked to be back to work on the old girl and working towards that sub 1-minute 2o-second lap time (at Toronto Motorsports Park) target we’ve set for the build. Imagine picking up a wrench that’s colder than ice and laying on frozen concrete while fighting with rusted and seized bolts on our rat bag AP1. Winter was insanely cold and long here this year, and our shop space isn’t heated, so it made any kind of wrenching pretty much impossible. While your emergency brake will still work, it’s tough to tell when it’s engaged or not, particularly if you have the pedal-activated system.It’s been way too long since our last Project ASS2000 update, presented by Turn14 Distribution.

Over time (though rare), either the parking brake warning light switch or the bulb in the dash can fail.

When you engage the emergency brake, it activates a switch, which turns on a light in the dash warning you that the e-brake is on. This prevents your car from rolling if you park on a hill, and it takes the load off your transmission at the same time. In both instances, activating the pedal or handle engages the emergency brake. Depending on the make and model you drive, your emergency brake might be activated via a handle between the two front seats, or it could be activated with a pedal under the dash (to the left of the brake pedal). Your vehicle has two braking systems onboard – the primary braking system is responsible for slowing down the car when you press the brake pedal, and the secondary braking system is designed to activate when you engage the emergency brake.
