Random G4 questions

Was watching the drive rush chaps on Sunday morn and was thinking is it possible to put for example a clutch switch on a hand brake so when you ripped the handbrake it cut the engine same as flatshift to save you clutching? Purely out of curiosity on this one not something I have intentions of doing.

Other thing can you set up the clutch switch for flatshift so it turns on flatshift function as soon as you start to depress the clutch rather than setting it up when it hits the floor does it work or need a delay or something or is that just real dumb. Looks easier to set up the first way is all.

You looking at doing some Gymkhana? Ken block style?

Nope just interested. Flat shift would be mildly cool for when I finally get down the strip tho lol. Wouldnt mind getting launch set up for fuel/ignition properly tho only got ignition atm.

Surely you\'re engaging the clutch when pulling on the handbrake to prevent the engine from coming to an instant 0rpm situation to match the rear wheels which you have just locked up by pulling on the handbrake? (if you didn\'t puch down on the clutch at the same time)

If you have a bracket in the correct place, you just position a momentary switch so that it is held closed by the clutch pedal and it works as soon as the pedal moves downwards. Rather than the pedal having to go through its whole travel to reach the switch.

Yea I think Im over thinking it way too much.

Yep thats what I was thinking Ive got a NO/NC switch to mount somehow. Might have to cut it down to get it to fit. Meh not a priority.

Copy the one thats on the brake switch.

My memory says theres one there. Reality may say otherwise. Haven\'t stuck my head down there for a while. Was thinking about hooking one up in my RS but its been about a year since I ran the wire and didn\'t finish the job
