figured out
I figured out why i was having trouble and i now feel like a complete dumbass. the last time i changed my brake pads i never refilled the fluid resivior which doubles as clutch oil......so ya there was rough braking and my pads wich were reletively new are totally thrashed. after i replaced the pads and filled the resivoir heavy braking is so simple, considereing i could always almost threshold brake and not lockup almost every time on thrashed pads and no fluid. anyway my problem is solved, seeing how i havent locked up my brakes in a few weeks and i go out driving about 4 times a week so i'd say I am good.
I am also slowly weening my self off of my ebrake. I mostly only use it now if i am understeering or sometimes when i *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* up and cant properly start a drift w/o using it. Right now i am trying to master braking drift but most of the time i lock the rear wheels and hear that horrible noise ( i am sure at least some of you know what i am talking about) I am sure this will take allot of time to get used to.
lately it has been raining allot so i have been going out almost every nite, and i can lock those rear wheels all day and no horrible noise. i have been trying to mimic some techniques from the drift bible but i dont want to *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* up my drivetrain so i only try that in the rain, so far I have been trying to mimic what he does during the braking drift and i am pretty sure 2 out of the 6 times i tried it tonite i managed to do it w/o locking the rear wheels. I am going to have to have someone video tape it so i can tell exactly what happens, it is supposed to rain tomorrow so maybe ill do it then.
