using the parking break basically to make the back lose traction.... like today i was having some fun in a parking lot using the handbreak to lock up the rear and turn the wheel and go sliding and stuff (make oversteer).... is this really bad for the axles and what not? im running the good ol stock rims and stocl susp. if that makes any difference... i only did it a couple of times and nothing appeared to be screwed up, but before i tried anything else i wanted to see if this is something really dumb that i shouldnt be trying or doing to my max.... thanks guys.

 

Aside from possibly flat spotting your tires, it's one of the more benign things I've seen people here do.

 

there's about only two things you need to do here..

1. start saving up for new tires. you'll need them soon.
2. watch out for curbs and potholes, because they can really f*** your suspension up if you hit one sideways.

 

hehehe, well i need new tires soon anyways, so screw them, and ill watch out for those curbs, i just wanted to know whether id screw up anything in the axle, or the camber adjustment or crap like that, or if this puts too much stress on a sway bar or something... my car is stock in that department. thanks for the info
