Mayby he means the "brake lamp" fuse...in order to disable the car form cutting the power while trying to do a standstill burnout...that would be the only reason for doing this...and in that case...the fuse panel is right next to the clutch...remove the cover...find the correct fuse by looking ON THE BACK of the fuse panel cover which has a diagram of the fuses and their locations...its not hard at all

So i figured if i remove the rear brake light fuse, i can hold the brake down, allowing me to heat my DRs up a little bit longer than before.
Right?

Thats what I have always heard. Im a little confused now that davidv is disagreeing with this and all, but Im pretty sure Ive have heard Jeremy and Alberto recommend doing this to people who have drs to heat them up a bit. Im sure they will find this thread and give their input as well.

wow davidv, you dont pull that, thats pretty crazy but i guess you are always on street tires so it doesnt matter.
look in the kick panel fuse box by your left foot . there is a 10 amp fuse labeled stop lamp, just pull it out, it will disable your brake lights though so only do it at the track.
you cant push the brake and the gas at the same time in these cars, it kills the power to the engine. i do this every time i am at the track doing a standing burnout.
good luck!!!

it's not for power braking at the tree, it's for when ur in the water box u can heat up ur slicks or DRs. If u dont pull the fuse u can't press the brake while in the water box or the engine will slowly die, causing ur tires not to warm up.
