how can i rig my e brake so i dont have to push the button down to put it back down. so i can just pull it up to start a slide and let it down easily?

 

Ummm.. Just keep your thumb on the damn thing. Not that hard to do.

 

obviously i could do that. but is there a way that i could just like not use the button?

 

I suppose you could remove the console and drill out the safety latch, but I can't quite picture it in my head at the moment (been a long time since I worked on it).

My question to you is have you seen other vehicles with this modification? It's meant to be a safety so it doesn't get activated by accident. But I guess as long as this car doesn't see passengers it should be ok.

 

well it does see one passenger at the moment. no back seats. it wont be in the future though. im going to turn this into my drift car and not daily drive it.

 

the hillbilly way would be figure out where the inner shaft goes thru the handle,depress the button ,hold it and drill a hole completely thru the handle then stick a bolt in it.

or pull out the handle and disengage the ratchet

 

silly rabbit, you dont need the parkling brake to have a drift car, thats what torque is for

 

yeah yeah i know. i dont need the brake i can just break em loose but it will be easier to engage in a slide with an e brake

 

lol lol lol

 

?

 

just a silly thing to do a waste of time

 

well posting on this thread was a waste of time for you. so dont give me ****.

 

If you take off the cover on the e-brake handle and then pull the e-brake handle up up you'll see a small spring thats about 2 inches long through the side of the handle. Thats the spring that pushes the button on the end of the e-brake handle out. If you take a small screwdriver and push the bottom of the spring up towards the button on the end of the handle and slide the spring off the little retaining tab the whole button and locking mechanism will come out of the underside of the ebrake handle. Then the ebrake will work just like you want it to, there just won't be a button on the end anymore.

 

thanks! ive heard and had lots of ideas but that never came up...
