Sounds like the emergency brake needs to be adjusted. It's really easy, you just remove the center console pieces, and .....

I forget, let me check real fast, lol.

Here's what I found <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by "Unknown SN" &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I use to have a 92 civic hatch and the way we tighten them was taking off the center console and adjusting the screws on the lines. so when you pull your e brake it stops at like half the way instead of almost all the way up.</TD></TR></TABLE>.

He obviously wants to try and drift like in F&F 3, y0!

Why are you using your e-brake when you are driving?

thats my way to slow down when i see a cop on the side of the road... so it doesnt look like im braking and my lights doesnt show.. cuz some ******* cops when they see u braking, they pull u over cuz u know youre guilty.

They're likely executing a speed trap, which means that they have their radar detector unit in active use. If you are speeding, they will catch you, e-brake or not.

The parking brake is just that, a PARKING brake. Don't use it for something it wasn't designed for, and it will work properly.

I have never downshifted so hard that someone rammed into the rear of my car. Then again, I try not to make a habit of downshifting with people behind me (unless it's Eran because he pays attention when he drives).

That would be the answer.
