yes, this won't work for a manual vehicle, only an auto.

Flipper picked the music and as you can tell, I'm not a video editor by trade.

Before and after video it's 13MB, please right click and save as.
Just watched your burn out vid again.. Think I am going to go make myself a sandwich!
Glad to see you finally updated your magicchicken.com web site!

Tell me WHY this won't work for a manual? I don't see why it won't!

it will work on a manual you just have to have a very flexible ankle, how do you think someone can do a burnout in a 2.2L 5 speed s-10???

people with manual tranny's put line locks on their front brakes to lock them so they don't have to screw with all 3 pedals at once for a burnout. locking out the rear brakes defeats it's usefulness on a manual vehicle.

I was going to say, I can do a burn out in a manual with no problem. I just roll my foot from the brake and the gas and my other foot from the clutch to the brake. First time was tricky, but it is a breeze now. I would still like to figure out where to install the line lock so it locks the front brakes, so I don't have to do this. I was thinking of installing it like the f-body guy, then wiring in a relay that interrupts the ABS, like if the fuse busted. Any one see a problem with this?
