Firstly, welcome to the forums. That valve could be part of an LPG system that has been removed. It's very hard to tell with that photo.

haha nice ride! Looks like a dodgy line locker to me... Try it out! Turn the Knob, put your foot on the brake and rip a skid (in a safe controlled enviroment) then do it the opposite way and see if there is any difference!

Hi Guys.

Could be a fuel shut-off solenoid.

Very hard to tell from that pic.

Interesting setup! if its connected to the brake line it could be either a dodgey proportioning valve or line lock...

I dont think that would be legal.. Maybe it would be best to get it removed and your brake system checked!?

Cheers and nice car!!

because if someone went to the effort of putting in a line locker that means they would probably have been doing plenty of burnouts.
