Hey All,

Just done my first naughty thing in my car on a country land in kedleston, handbreaked in round a 90 degree corner, n puled of with a bit of pace, in my MK3 golf, good practice for when i get my scoob in 8 weeks (Touch Wood).

Just wanted to know, how to you acceerate out quciker???

thanks

Chris

 

don't take your foot off the gas (works in a golf unless it's an R32)

Owain (road rallying handbrake supremo)

 

Ps. don't think scoobs like to be handbraked being 4WD

 

i find it hard to do that ,ive tried using the gas, but i dnt have power steering, i just apply the break and the handbreak and it comes ound nicely.

how would you do it in a 4x4

lmfao @ this topic

this is how you handbrake a scooby

first speed up to approx 100mph then pull the handbrake while stamping on the footbrake in small pulses, then violently start wiggling the steering wheel to and fro, this will put you into a fantastic scandanaivian flick, once its slideing sideways, then apply full throttle and full oppisite lock, because of the clever subaru 4wd system, it will auto correct everything for you, just hold full lock and keep the throttle locked down, when the car stops take off full lock and you can then pat yourself on the back for a fantastic move.

you will always be remberd by your mates for your full on manouvre

What Impreza are you getting?

As a general rule you shouldn't handbrake 4wd's as you'll knacker the diffs.

 

SHHHHHHHSSSHHHH!!!!!!!!

only a 1.6 gl 4wd as all i can afford insurance wise, i kno it isnt gonna b fast, but its a start on the ladderisnt it.

 

I would stick to the Golf, you'll have more fun in that, than in a 1.6 Impreza.

 

my golfs only aa 92 mk3 1.4, i.5 imprezas surely got to be better.

You would be surprised.. I would have the golf anyday.

 

No problems with handbraking an Impreza as long as you declutch

Owbow - get on MSN - need to sort out a run on the Cilwendeg rally this year and as you're a taff there's more chance of getting an entry if i navigate for you

 

I thought this all sounded familiar:

LOL!!

 

easily done, even in a Uk.
Declutch, steer, handbrake..
Once sliding get off the handbrake quick, up with the clutch and all the way down (in first or second) with the throttle.
I was showing off to the apprentice the other day outside the local shop, couldn't be arsed to do a three point turn, so just accelerated forward to get parallel with a side road junction (more room for the tail to swing into) a full 180 and a four wheel wheelspin back to work in the opposite direction all in one fluid movement.

dont you have enough repair bills with out trying stuff like this. you are asking for some major repair bills by the sound of it. have fun !!! lol........

 

why?

 

i think you should text me or is your conscience feeling way too guilty

 

IT all depends on which scoob you have, ones with A-DCCD or DCCD you can handbrake them, though i still dont know why people would want to, but with the rest.... you are running a 4wd car, you lock the rear 2 wheels up and you put serious stress on the rear diff, it only has so much give and once it goes, your stuffed....
(remembering that all 4 wheels work together, would you shove a stick on the rear wheel of a bike when both wheels are going? clunk!!)
