handbrake problem?

vi3tshi3t08 · 10-23-2007, 03:31 AM

our handbrakes dont have abs on them or anthing right?
everytime i pull on it i cant get my back tires to skid.. it seems like it works when parking and stuff though.

ive pulled it at 10-40mph range and dosnt do shit but beep and slow down slowly.

is my ebrake line need tightening? it uses the same disk brakes as the brakes right?

no. my car is the same way (FG2) and I have a friend who's car is the same way. I just assumed it was made that way so you COULDN'T use it to skid.

im with you. if you want to skid put mcdonalds trays under your back tires and sled. dont be stupid and try to lock your back breaks up. you could potentially damage something.

it's a parking brake.. not meant to be used for actual braking, or "drifting".. esp. on a FWD car.

my thoughts exactly. I think honda designed it with this in mind.

I've done in an empty parking lot while parking. I slide right into the spot. After that, it won't let me do it either. Its a good thing.

LoL I posted same thread on clubsi a while agoooo lol everybody bashed me! lol ok I have the same problem but I found a trick that will let u skid: dont pull a straight line.. it wont skid find a nice wide turn somewhere safe and get in the turn @ 60 Mph and flick the steering wheel outside the turn and then quickly back in while lifting the ebrake :) It works like a charm

. please dont bash.

PS: do it in a closed circuit :)

The E-Brake is not the same disc if i recall. It uses a set of drum pads that are within the Hub of the Rear Disc.

Firestrife · 10-24-2007, 09:27 PM

i wouldnt reccommend anything in rain.

To the OP...

Your an idiot. Really, how old are you? Why would you wanna risk locking up your back breaks? Go by a RWD if you want to drift or skid.

Kinda like racing, I wouldn't recommend this anywhere besides some sort of a closed course. Too many variables other than just rain.
