HandBrake Drift MOD
So i am getting **** for posting on old threads. i figured id give you guys a new fresh one. i have heard about people doing a mod to there ebrake for drifting in toyotas something about taking the round screw off of the door hinge and putting it in place of your button on your ebrake. that way when you need the brake to stay engaged for parking you twist it in. and for drifting you twist it out so you can pull up and let it go and it will fall back down. does ANYONE know the steps or tips on how to do this ?

depends on the course.
However, from every drfting video i have seen from the states, I would agree.
90% of them have no technical aspects that would require a handbrake or are just using it to initiate and not to extend a drift. I believe there are certain corners where its just the most logical thing to do.

i have used zipties in the past to hold it down

You take the spring out and screw the new **** on there but not all the way.
when you want to lock the brake for parking you have to pull the **** out. When drifting you just pull up on the handle and it will go back down not locking so you you can pull it multiple times to control your rear tires.
My problem with them is that you have to always adjust them because it will unscrew with vibrations from driving. I guess some loctite or something might help.

try better rear brakes ( if you havent already) and i guess timing like you were saying. mine seems to work out pretty well. very nice fc btw mine looks just like that a little less clean and no rims yet but pretty close.

It normally helps to also lay your foot over on the foot brake when pulling the ebrake. This is for initiating. It will helps set the weight of the car and give some extra umph in the rear brakes.

another trick to getting away from the ebrake and getting your drift to carry out longer to reach that next corner... left foot braking. it takes practice but keep your gas pedal going and brake with your left foot. slows the front down so you can continue your drift.
