Dumb question but i dont know. I searched.

Just like say youre going 30 and try to do wannabe fwd drift by yoinking the ebrake and going into a slide... is that bad for any part of the car... besides the tie rods and tires. does it wear anything out?

BTW i cant get it off poll option so this is easy.

 

i would have to imagine that it isn't good for the car, but i must say, i do it all the time and i love it. glad to see that i'm not the only one out there....

 

Well for starters how about a big flat spot in the rear tires? That'll be lovely.

Don't do E-Brake slides. It's kinda like having a big APC sticker across your windshield.

ive never done one, but i see them done all the time. It looks fun. i just wanted to make sure it would be ok on the car.

I road with my friend in a trans am ws6 and he pulled ebrake slide at around 70 mph in a parking lot. fun stuff.

 

I've been doing them for years and haven't had problems yet, except tire wear.

 

man i gotta try that after i get a new clutch

 

lbesides ******* up the tires with flat spots no

Why is a TA owner using his ebrake to slide? rwds dont need the ebrake, at least not in my old 240sx, maybe he should learn to do it right.

Ebrake turns are the only way to drive in the winter.

I like big church parking lots. I don't know why the cops have a problem with me doing this though. It's a lot funner in the camaro though.

Here is something to consider about hitting an e-brake and sliding. Its not just hard on your tires. It's exceptionally hard on your frame, body and suspension. I have seen hondas tweak thier body from doing that too much. And even worse what if you hit a small pothole cuz you weren't paying enough attention to the road or parking lot you were doing this on.

 

i do it on wet grass and it fun lol

 

^ Hahahahaha. That is the best signature i have ever read. ^

Yes, it is perfectly O.K. to do e-brake slides if you have a big APC sticker on your windshield... Some people may be skeptical though, so you need to put a big APC aluminum wing (now available at Wal-Mart) and some fake 15" chrome spinning hubcaps on it as well.

They sell APC wings at Wally World now?!?

You didn't know? lol I saw them at the Walmart back home and I was like: "... ... omg." lol

 

try it in a giant parking lot with no islands etc in the snow, thats about the safest you'll get without really destroying anything, just dont over rev and blow the motor it is fun as hizzell though, i used to do it in my 91 se-r all the time. have fun
