I can just picture people all over california right now......skidding around in the xA's....testing it to see if it would

stellarhavoc

I'm too chicken to pioneer this. :oops: Give it a shot and tell us about it!

ive tryed in the xb (on the wet at 30) and was rather dissatified. the cars too stable! but i shouldnt be trying anyways. :?

I'm way too chicken to try this out. Is it possible to do it without seriously messing up your car?

Ali and I were thinking about doing a rally driving or drifting school for a few days vacation! How much fun would that be?

lol

find a parking lot.

take a turn kinda fast, pull up ebrake.

worst that will happen is a little extra rear tire wear and you do a 180

i did it in an xb about 30 miles it was raining and it slide inbetwen a 90 and 180 degree turn i wanted to go faster but in the distance was oncoming traffic

DibujoB

damn. I'd always wondered if something would snap off if you pulled it that fast.

never been much of a stunt driver, although I'm dying to learn.

HotBox

i used to do it in my old civic all the time you can do it in the xb i only tried it to see if i can flip it well not actually flip it but see how much of a bodyroll it has try it drew its fun after awhile you might be doing it everychance you get

It works nicely on my GT Performer

You guys are makin me wanna try this.. i'll wait til its rainin/wet and do it in a parking lot.

kdanie

NO, NO, do it on DRY pavement...... Can you say "Flat spot your tires?" I new you could.....

Unless you are a rally driver using your ebrake to kick the back around a tight corner in the woods somewhere..... What's the point??

:?
I'm a bit curious as well if the Stability Control system in the xB will void out an e-brake turn.

We had snow-covered roads up here last week, and I made good use of the e-brake on our Infiniti G20 (in a safe manner of course). This CAN help pull you out of terminal understeer on the slippy stuff, but it's also just plain fun :D and good practice for our local SCCA RallyCross events! :twisted: One can never be truly safe in a car unless you occasionally explore its limits on a loose surface.

.....At least this is the excuse I give my wife for behaving like a hooligan in snow!

I'd really like to see how the xB is on snow & ice..... can't wait to have it shipped up here to WA next week!

lol

no you won't flatspot street tires!

there is no point usually, its just for fun =)

the xA will handle a brake and skid, although the length of the car makes it a short skid, so go faster if you try it.

the xB just won't do it. traction control kills it, even with it turned off the VSC will kick in as soon as you try it. couldn't get it to work

Ask hahajoey about ebraking stuff...he loves to do it into peoples driveways for no apparent reason..but hey, it's the cool thing to do!

E-Brake turns work just fine!
I've done it in the wet, and dry...

Approach a turn quickly, but not to fast.
Tap the brakes (weight transfer)
Turn the wheel, and pull the E-Brake...

Lots of fun, and not to dangerous.
Works better in the wet, but dry is fine too.
