Just booked up for a drift day at teesside on 7th feb.

Need to get this handbrake sorted and get the rear stripped out

Looking good, drifting Fc ftw!

man thats a gorgeous looking FC... cars like this make it hars to decide between the gorgeous flowing lines of the FD or the Retro Coolness of the FC

Nice job dude

Looking good as ever!

I\'m surprised, with a good hard tug, my handbrake locks up the rears! How is yours?

Have you done anything to get more lock yet?

NeilSR · January 06, 2011, 01:20:59 PM

I could rip my arm out of my socket tugging on it and it still wouldnt lock, lol

No, nothing done yet to get anymore lock, but doesnt look to bad as standard to be honest, especially as it\'ll be my first time drifting (on track) in it lol

i may be tring to teacdh you to suck eggs here but a common mistake i mate when i first tries putting my 8 sideways was when pulling the handbrake i would forget to dip the clutch. meaning while the brakes where doing their job the wheels where still being driven so all it did was slow me up.

then again i am sure you know this already... oh if only we where allowed hydraulic handbrakes here in the uk for road use.

NeilSR · January 06, 2011, 02:07:12 PM

Lol, u kinda need to dip the clutch anyway, or else the car would just stall

Im lucky if I can lock mine with the handbreak. Maybe time for an adjustment although its always been like it.

Could never initiate off mine. tbh the handbrake is more for slowing down the rear wheels mid drift, you\'d really need it to lock up. You could always enter a bit slow and enter with the clutch or some fancy weight distro

NeilSR · January 06, 2011, 04:30:47 PM
