Evil XR6T Bronze Donating Members 138 Member For: 12y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 17/04/12 03:40 AM Share Posted 17/04/12 03:40 AM Hey Guys, I went out to have a bit off fun last night and the old handbrake started to get a bit soft after a few too many drifties. So basically I'm trying to figure out two things. One, If its possible, and two, What parts am I gonna need for it. I've already had a quick look online and no-one does a specialized kit for Falcons, just universal ones. Cheers !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you have an auto or manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few flowing corners out there need a pinch of the handbrake to drag the slide out that's all. I love drifting and its just not the same without a good handbrake.

If its a manual I still wouldn't recommend it because of the handbrake shoe design these cars have. You will eat away the shoe very quickly and your car will develop the swooshing noise. Will cost a fair bit of money to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta admit that XR6T's drift like champions, and I was hoping to figure out a way to do it. Got some mad video's last night, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let us know how you go!Paullie, doingitright is being sideways BEFORE the corner. Hanging it out on the way out isn't drifting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
