ChrisFix demonstrates how to install a hydraulic e-brake, specifically an ASD Hydro E-Brake, for drifting purposes. He explains the advantages over the stock e-brake, lists the necessary tools and parts, and provides a step-by-step guide on mounting the hydro e-brake and running the brake lines to the calipers, ensuring it doesn't interfere with other controls. The process includes creating a bolt-in mount without welding and measuring brake lines using a rope for accurate ordering. ChrisFix emphasizes that this setup won't function as a parking brake.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The narrator, ChrisFix, is installing a hydraulic e-brake in his car.
2. The hydraulic e-brake is also known as a hydro e-brake or just a hydro.
3. The hydraulic e-brake is used for drifting.
4. When the hydraulic e-brake is pulled, it brakes only the rear wheels.
5. The stock e-brake can be used for drifting, but it is not as strong as a hydraulic e-brake.
6. The stock e-brake cable can stretch or snap if used excessively.
7. The hydraulic e-brake does not work as a parking brake and does not lock.
8. To install the hydraulic e-brake, ChrisFix needs to figure out where to mount it.
9. The biggest restriction for mounting the hydraulic e-brake is space.
10. ChrisFix wants to mount the hydraulic e-brake between the steering wheel and the shifter.
11. ChrisFix removes the cupholder to create space for the hydraulic e-brake.
12. The center console storage bucket can be removed by unscrewing two hidden screws.
13. ChrisFix uses a rope to measure the length of brake line needed.
14. The brake line comes in 1-foot increments.
15. ChrisFix needs to run the brake line from the hydraulic e-brake to the brake calipers.
16. The brake line will be routed through the center console and then split into two lines, one for each caliper.
17. ChrisFix uses a "T" adapter to split the brake line.
18. The brake line needs to be long enough to reach from the center console to each brake caliper.
19. ChrisFix removes the rear seat to access the brake line routing.
20. There are two stock pass-throughs in the chassis that can be used for the brake line.
21. ChrisFix uses a grommet to protect the brake line where it passes through the chassis.
