Jason Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Off topic whats a compression lock up? Quote
Medicine_Man Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Its basically when you use the compression of the engine to lock the rear wheels by dropping it down a gear.. Quote
Super Jamie Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 so you'd be at the top of 3rd, drop it down to 2nd and dump the clutch. you'll either break your gearbox or diff (or engine) or the rear wheels will lock up until you've slowed down enough for them to spin again at the appropriate rpm for the gear you're in. try it with some shitty tires in the wet, too many compression lockups WILL kill your motor, my mate pete put a rod through the side of his old 4k after about, oh, 2 years of it :thumbsup: Quote
Jason Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Posted January 9, 2005 :P sounds fun though :thumbsup: Quote

Super Jamie Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 corollas don't have brakes, they have these little things on the wheels that stop you once for about 10 metres then cease to work so you become good at engine braking once you get a bit of power into your K motor Quote
demuire Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 Haha, yeah Corollas aren't like Dattos, Corollas have optional brakes. And it wasn't even a factory option... Quote
