E-Brake

Say I was to go to a deserted parking lot after a snow, or rain- Besides wear to my tires, what could be damaged to the car if I was to pull the E-Brake to have some fun? (Yes, noobish eclipse drifting :D  )

2001 Eclipse RS

I was told that it could ruin the brakes. To make matters worse, I still have the stock rear drum brakes. Any input would be valued, thanks.

Ruin the brakes...
 
That is the stupidest thing i have heard.

do it some more then buy my engine =D haha

^^^^lol

PS- Its not drifting...

hey price for it is 2150 pick up and if you want it shipped you pay for it.

Lol all pushin your parts on n00b members...

lol soooooo

I could get a 4G63 Turbo VR4 Engine for less than 2 grand, with >50k miles... I may be a noob at this forum, but not in general. However, correct me if I am wrong: using the E-Brake puts strain on the engine, and from using it too much it could eventually "kill" it- correct?

Two things.
1. you can find a 4g63 for a hell of alot cheaper than 2k.
2. you cant drift a fwd car.

Not to mention, i think his was built

mine is a 6g72 wont fit in his car.. its built with refreshed heads waterpump and overhaul kit to replace all gaskets.

I was wondering why you would have even said that. I figured you had a 4G64 lying around lol

I know I can't drift a fwd car.. now: Could using the E-Brake in rain / snow for fun damage the engine (if yes, how).

No

Not the engine... more like the brakes and possibly the drivetrain.

i drifted mine after some rain....on accident.
i was on an offramp going too fast n got sideways for a good 3 seconds....then regained traction, then spun it

Wrong... you lost grip in the rear.
 
NOT DRIFTING

it was still cool....for 3 seconds

Psssh

You'll probably end up stretching the e-brake cable if your really pulling on it.
