bypassing the clutch switch won't work for anyone with a newer Evo with a built-in 2-step, you will never be able to rev over 5,000 rpm because the ECU will think the clutch is always pushed in!

 

what u need is to stick with the E brake if that's not good enough, get the Project Mu E Brake pads

Story of my life.

 

Those are 2 completely separate switches, so it does work. I know first-hand.

You can disconnect the clutch-start and retain the built-in 5k limiter. You can disconnect both, or you can disconnect the 5k limiter and retain the clutch-start. Those combinations are obvious once you know there are 2 separate switches. I now keep my factory 2-step switch connected, because of my new 6k Dynoflash 2-step (it requires the stock switch to be connected), but I still have my clutch-start switch disconnected.

 

very interesting.

 

I think your wrong. It does use the disks brakes

I trained myself to NEVER leave my EVO in gear when parked a long time ago. Between the built-in turbo timer and remote start in my alarm, I don't have much choice.

 

You obviously haven't had your rear rotors off. I have....replaced them with slotted rotors. There are drum brakes inside there and the e-brake is strictly mechanical/cables. It means you can use your e-brake when your rotors are hot without causing them to warp.

Pads/drums in the center of the rear rotor. (just like almost every other Japanese auto with rear disks made in the last 10-15 years)

 

If I Park on a hill and put in 1st, it will just roll back with no problem

 

Haha "with no problem." I'd definitely consider that to be "a problem."

 

No the ebrake uses a tiny drum Built into the rear disks and I always park my cars in gear

 

Nope haven't done the rear brakes on the EVO. I was WRONG.

 

My MR2 Turbo Ebrake freezes in the cold so I no longer use it. I just dont park on a steep down hill. The MR2 also moves in gear slowly.
