Handbrake Turns! - Saxperience

Jonny_H · 20th January 2007, 14:33

for some reason i cant handbrake turn my saxo.... it just slows the car down. rather than locks on and spins/drifts whatever,

before anybody starts moaning i've never tried this on a road, only private land.

My mate reckons it's the pistons or something in Saxo's he said he couldnt do them in his when he had one, he said he spent a few hundred quid changing the handbrake system so he could do them. (he's crazy like that)

i have a 1.1 desire.... he had a VTR

anyone know the problem...

pull the handbrake harder!

you cant drive lol thats the problem, you can handbreak any car your mates talking absoloute bollox about pistons etc

DevilDamo · 20th January 2007, 14:38

And why would you want to do them!?!

Anyway...

- Come at a speed more than 15mph.
- Start making the turn by turning the steering wheel in one direction with one hand.
- Immediately after starting the turn, pull the handbrake with the other hand while keeping the button on the handbrake pressed.
- The rear part of the car will start the skid.
- Release the handbrake and start pushing the accelerator when the desired direction is achieved.

ive heard too much handbraking on saxos leads to bent rear axels so id strongly advise against doin it!

I also have the bins, benches and a life size cut out of Ronald McDonald.

I tried once when i was going slow in a tesco car park at midnight when i went to get cash... was going to slow it didnt do anything, today when i was doing a u turn in an empty space i turnd the wheel pulled handbrake right up... it locked and went round a treat, ground was slightly wet also which helped. It is possible, but irresponcible, stupid and pointless.
