elpete77 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 In the old days when I had a CRX I could pull my ebrake and whip the car around turns. It was lots of fun, and made me feel totally cool. All teh ladies dug it. What would happen if I tried that with the wagon? PS please don't "flame" me because I am a fragile soul.

Euclid Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Get yourself a high power rwd car and power oversteer through turns. That'll really get the panties wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mele63 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 At least you had the brains to ask first. On some cars, the e-brake locks the front wheels. It you pull the e-brake while going around a turn, that would not be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I used to drive my '89 Civic Si on gravel...go into a corner too hot, jam the brakes, yank the wheel and pull the handle then back on the gas. Almost a perfect pendulum turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a perfect pendulum turn Exactly! Keep power to the front wheels and just drag it through. We did it on pavement, not good for the tires but it was a crap car anyway.

Xenonk Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 if you plan on yanking the e-brakes to do cool moves, I'd suggest you push in the clutch before you pull the e-brake.. if you do it right, you can make the car drift slide.. I would practice that with a wet pavement or lots of snow.. I wouldnt yank soo hard, you'll end up stretching out that cable and wear out the components.. but if you do all things right, you wont wear the parts as fast. I would suggest you to take a class in stunt driving instead to use the e-brake properly. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDII Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 +1 on pushing the clutch in. I do some mean pendulum turns in the Soft ball field parking lots. Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 oh yea, ABS doesnt kick in unless you have your foot on the brakes first.. so that question about "what about ABS?" doesnt apply here. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All teh ladies dug it. What would happen if I tried that with the wagon? Well, if you did that in your wagon, you'd whip the car around the turn. In the process you'd stress your center diff, wear out your rear drum parking brake, and stretch your parking break cable. As well as put excess wear on your rear tires. (anything else?) Maybe not so good an idea. That was gentle to a fragile soul, wasn't it? tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwagon Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 no wear on center diff when clutch is depressed.. right? did he say anything about manual or AT? I like to do this in the snow, but if it is hurting the center diff I'll refrain (I'll just use the gas more to get er around)... but as xenonk was sying that by depressing the clutch you are relieving the drivetrain of stress and preventing the C. Diff destruction, right? Please reply before next snowfall... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 ^ MT, it's ok, you can pull up on the ebrake (it shouldnt hurt it too much on the center when the front is open and the rear is held on with the ebrake). AT would be different, just dont bother even thinking of tempting pulling the e-brake. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsyGT Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 AT would be different' date=' just dont bother even thinking of tempting pulling the e-brake.[/quote'] Hypothetically, what if you put the 5EAT in Neutral and pulled the parking brake? It shouldn't stress the center diff, right? Probably wouldn't be too fun though. tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
