When I used to drive my brother's old accord, I used to do e-brake slides all the time with no problem.

When I got my Lude, I tried doing the same old thing except these times it was like really unsucessful. I've finally come to realize that it's my ATTS that's causing me to lose control of my slide. I was considering cutting the wire at my ATTS fuse and routing it to a switch on my center console so I can turn the ATTS on and off when I need.

So what do you guys think? Good idea bad idea? I have a feeling that turning it off would work but turning it back on won't work.

If it sounds like a good idea, do you guys think I would be able to switch it on/off on the fly?

 

stop drifting your car.

 

go steal some trays from Wendey's and put them under your back wheels with the ebrake on

It's the kewlest!

BAD idea, for some reason i dont think it would work. personally i think your gonna tear the **** outta your car if you drive it that way and thats the kinda stuff i dont like to hear considering in a year or so i'll be in the market for a 2001 prelude and wont want one like yours! (which is okay cause i dont think i'll be lookin for an SH).... anyway, await further replies....im no honda pro

 

I'm guessing that it would turn ATTS off, but not come back on until you turned the ignition off/on again. Either way, sounds like a bad idea.

 

I won't comment on whether e-brake sliding is a good idea or not, but yes, an auxiliary ATTS switch wired into it's fuse would definitely work. I've considered installing one for winter weather since I disable the ATTS by pulling the fuse.

You could shut it off whenever you want, although you wouldn't be able to turn it back on again on the fly - you'd need to stop and restart the car.

 

why in the world do you disable the atts for the winter??? if anything it helps. especially when going over a mound of snow on the road.

 

Trust me, it doesn't help.

Wheelspin, variable traction levels, and lateral slipping/sliding . . . . all occurences that are very common in the snow, and all variables that ATTS was never designed to be able to deal with. The car is much more predictable & competent in the snow with it disabled.
