In the Drift Bible, the drift king mentions something about maintaining your ebrake. i'm not sure whether he's telling us to pull the parking brake all the way up, or just some of the way. Please help out. I'm confused. i think this part loses something in the translation.

I own the Drift Bible with Keiichi "Drift King" Tsuchiya too. I have watched that part serveral times and my take is that he is saying a drifter should keep the e-brake in adjustment so that the length of pull before lock-up is approriate. To paraphrase. "If you do not frequently adjust the cable tension you will have to pull way too far up on the e-brake. You should only have to pull a little bit, not way up here by your face."
BTW the e-brake is a perfectly valid technique and one beginers will need to rely on until they have a fully developed set of techniques. Once all the techniques are developed one will only use it in certain situations- if it's good enough for the Drift King it's good enough for me!

no kidding
have you ever tried drifting in a real car on real DRY streets, its not easy in fact the e-brake is essantial. you need the e-brake first of all to start some drifts you also need it to somtimes adjust the angle of your drift if throttle and steering adjustments wont work
just a lil knowledge so when/if you ever drift you might know how

Many pros on the D1 "circuit" use the ebrake if not all of them. Have you not watched any videos of the actual competitions? I don't drift yet, but I at least know not to run my mouth off when it's something I don't know about. Anybody got that pic that says "You got Stallowned!!!" on it? This would be an excellent time for it.
Oh yeah!!! Chas has spin turn nobs I'm pretty sure.Last edited by Misthael; 01-23-2004, 03:28 PM.
