I know in some cars (i think it was the corolla) you can modify the ebrake so that it no longer ratchets by doing something to the button and that you can set it up so you have a choice of wether or not it will ratchet by turning the button is anyone aware of such a mod for the rx7

this would be a good mod for a beginner drifter as they can use their ebrake without having to worry about it locking and without keeping their hand permanetly attached to it just a little flick and boom your sideways and the brake will just fall back down

 

Well... it's not high tech, but you could just tape the button down.

 

lol beleive me i've thought about it in my civic as i always had to use ebrake in it

i found some info on the mod but am wondering if our ebrake setup is similar

it sasy its for an s13 but maybe

 

what you are asking about. pictured above for s13, is a spin turn **** aka drift ****. you take out the spring and the ebrake button and screw the **** in. the brake will now raise and fall. when you want to use the brake for parking you simply lift up and push the **** forward, and it will work like normal. I happen to have one that I will let go for 25 shipped. its silver and I am paypal verified.

 

do you have to have an FC specific? or does the S13 one work? I dont think ive seen an FC specific one

 

mine is fc specific. its by cusco too.

 

Just take your E-brake handle apart, and pull the little tooth out that ratchets. It's probably just held on with a rivet.

Or hell, I'll customive one on my parts car, so that it doesn't ratchet anymore and sell it to you.

 

mine does that naturally, it sort of broke on me one day. Guess it wants to go drifting?

 

I wish i could get that from you right now but unfortunately i can't do it because i'm not setup with paypal or anything and xmas is way to close would you mind telling me where you bought it so i can get one after the new year or even pm me your info so i can store it till then and contact you to see if you still have it

 

our ebrakes dont lock though, whats the point? is there anyway to make our ebrakes lock?

 

i drilled a wee hole in mine. a little pin holds the button in when i don't want it to lock, pull it out and it's yer normal ebrake

 

you can order a spin turn **** from healtoeauto.com tell marcus that I sent you. great guy to buy from. the part isn't listed on the site but he can get it.
