not enough, the stock ebrake sucks, compared to a hydro ebrake set-up

ok...what's a hydro e-brake? i searched it, and it only came up wit this thread and another...and it didn't explain...i'm guessing it's real expensive. >_<

Peace out

Well it's not $100 no matter which brake you choose, the earls lines and fittings are like $75 alone.

Heres the install shots of the MAX hand brake.

The top port on the hand brake goes to the OEM master cylinder's rear brake output, the end port of handbrake goes to the hard line that used to screw into the OEM master.

Tack weld a reinforcement plate of 1/8" steel to the tranny tunnel, and weld or bolt the hydro brake box to that.
This method is really strong so it does not wiggle and flex.







got this from another forum, get the idea

I drift my car for fun... nothing serious but just around parking lots and in my neigborhood around corners and stuff... main thing to work on is possibly making the car lighter... cuz its heavy as crap (sc400) right now.

if you put the car into 2nd, once your tires start to spin too much it will just shift into second..hence you will loose your drift..

you could keep it in 1st, but thats alot of stress on both your engine and trans.

you DONT need an lsd to drift...i drifted just fine on my stock open diff on my 240's..ive owned 5..but it does help

suspension is a must...you dont need coilovers though..a good spring strut combo will work fine

an occasional 'j' turn here and there wont hurt, but i wouldnt think of really practicing drifting unless i had a 5/6 speed trans

thank you all for the advice but if i just go on a turn at like 40-50 and pull the ebrake i shud be good? I wont really start practing tho until I get a 300. I just dont have the money right since im going off to college next year.

if your just starting to drift, try jymkahna...not to hard on your trans, and you wont really need anything other than 1st gear..and if your just learning i wouldnt reccomend ripping your e-brake at 40 or 50 mph.

buy an 86..
