I track my ITR everywhere, everyday. I need to get the best brake pad for my e brake aka parking brake. Can I vent the rotor for maximum e brake performance?

 

Huh? You mean rear brake pads?

I hope you're joking........

What? The rear pads are what the PARKING brake uses. There is no emergency brake, its a PARKING brake. Oh yeah, if your using your parking brake @ the track, thats dumb, unless you are in some Japanese drifting vid lol (its still slow even though it looks cool )-

 

naw, I was just joking around Gotta get something up, thats not about the great header test (JDM ITR baby!).

I only use the ebrake in the snow/ice. But seriously, I thought the ebrake was a drum brake?? Its inside the rear passenger side rotor, no?

 

Now I'm not sure if you are joking or not.. but no, it's not. It uses both rear brakes.

 

wtf??? you gotta be kiddin man...

fyi: no normal car has both a drum and a disk on the same wheel...

 

Hey Dave-ROR.......

 

Not to bust your *****...

Every 240/740/940 series Volvo made from 1975 till 1995/6 has both drum pads (parking brake) and disk pads (rear brake) on the rear axle.

Honda has installed the rear system the correct way..

-who is watching the header test

 

My 88 pathfinder was like that too.

 

i stand corrected, well I am pretty sure Integras dont.

Some cars do have twin calipers tho, one small one for the brake...

 

Will-man he said normal car, not a crazy Sweede machine

 

BWAHAHAHA Now that's a joke!!

 

sackdz: you buggen me for those two new cage pics or something? lol or just testing my post whoring speed and skill?

 

actually I think he wants a date...

 

I shall pretend that I did not read that.

 

Yea, I'm just chillin' whoring as well.

Despite what you may have heard or quotes you've seen in peoples' signatures, I can assure you that I am straighter than a swaybar.


Err............. JDM Rear uuper strut bar.

 

Celica GTS ( the new style) has a drum e-brake. This was one of the problems Sport Compact Car had when they started to upgrade the brakes on a Celica when they first came out.

 

LOL.

 

Has anybody been able to kick the back end out using the hand brake? I tried doing it in both my GSR and Type R in the rain in a parking lot and I could not get the back end to kick around, even if I hit the brakes mid turn. Now I was only got about 25mph though... And no I don't do it all the time, was bored and it was always kewl to flip a bitch realy quick in my ol' Ford.

 

Many times. 180s in the dry on a 2lane street, on parking lots, etc.

 

How hard to you pull on the brake? I pulled pretty hard, but I did not lay into that shi..

 

Hmm. fairly hard I guess, but you have to pull it FAST.. my car wont do it anymore because I glazed the rear pads at the last track event I did (I'll take em off and sand em soon though). Also, my car has 600lb rear springs...

 

Steering input and a hard (modulated) left foot on the brakes will "kick the back end out."

Of course, ebrake works as well, but there's no rule of thumb on how hard one must pull it.

 

Man I bust out the ebrake all the time

When Im running late for work, I can hit a green light to go straight, do a quick 180 with the ebrake, and turn right really fast. I dont think its technically legal, because a cop might say its reckless, but I dont see any signs saying no U turn.

Its really easy to do, but I've only tried it once in AutoX. Not very useful in competition! Ask White Dragon!
