How bad is it mechanically for a 3g TL to be doing e-brake power slides at low speeds? Yes I know it's a "luxury" ish car. Also, is there a difference between dry vs wet ground. I'm assuming less stress on wet?

 

Are your parents okay with you doing this on their car?

 

It's actually good for it but only if you post videos

 

Why bother with low speeds? Go high speed. So much pootie tang.

 

Wheel bearings and flat-spotted tires are what you should be concerned about.

Why would you be doing e-brake turns in the dry or wet?

 

it's a freaking parking brake, ya dolt.

not an emergency brake.

 

Yolo

 

Ive been thru 3 sets of parking brake shoes on my TL so far from using the E-Brake so much I love when winter comes along.

 

I did it once in a snow covered parking lot. My co workers seemed to like it.

There's less water on dry ground.

 

what is this e-braking you talk of?.. cuz I think we need to see it first hand I think there's some new thing called youtube or something?...

 

just get food trays and save your tires and your brakes.

 

 

 

Funny you've mentioned that. I've had friends do that before. They drove Civics.

 

Nah it's great, the factory service manual recommends doing a couple power slides once in awhile to test if the ebrake is working as it should

 

Fixed

 

PROS:
- can be fun/entertaining

CONS:
- wear out brake shoes
- stretch cable
- may be perceived as an asshat
- VSA will go mad (just disable before playing)
- flat spot tires
- potential to hit something
- potential for a ticket

Not sure how the wheel bearings will take any wear/damage unless you hit something. But anything is possible.

Doing this on wet roads will "probably" cause less wear on the tires and make it easier to accomplish since the tires should slide easier. I haven't done this type of thing for quite some time. I think I would be a bit concerned doing it in a car as heavy as the TL as well as expensive potential repairs would be. The last car I did this in was my Z-24 which was quite a bit lighter than the TL as well as quite a bit cheaper to repair. It also used the regular rear brake shoes for the e-brake which made repairs simpler. Even then, it was mostly only in the snow, a few times on wet pavement, and never on dry pavement.

 

Why didn't you just buy a RWD car?

A FWD car is not for sliding. So don't do it.

 

I do it a hand full of times a year in the snow. Its good for a few laughs..

 

I do it all the time when it snows, VSA is forever off.

 

Don't do it

 

This thread is funny. And painful. At the same time.

 

lol @ this forum

 

Lol @ op.

Right back atcha sucker.

 

 

OP, sell your TL, you don't deserve to own it, even though it is very rare to have a TL with an emergency brake. Buy a Civic and put a fart can on it.

 

Guessing most people on this website knows anything about how cars work mechanically, just a buncha average trolls sitting behind a computer?

 

I never asked for opinions, I asked for the mechanical/technical problems that can and will happen over time. No answer? Don't post. If you don't know why I'm asking, don't make assumptions. Simple as that...

 

I think we all know why you're asking, cuz your a damn fool.

 

No one cares if you asked for an opinion. You post you get opinions. Do you know how the internet works buddy?

Just keep it slow. We all know what happens if you hit 45mph... ask Paul Walker.

 

You might also want to check your grammar before posting. Plus, I resent being called average, I am way below average, but I am smart enough to not powerslide my TL.

 

Gotta love that acura community lol. Thanks I found my answers on another forum.

 

Good for you, probably on the Civic ricer forum.

 

Alrighty than.

 

 

Lol ricer forum is right. Just for giggles though I'll tell you (OP) why we're um, amused. We're not being assholes, you're driving a nice car and we have a lot of member's who do some awesome stuff with these cars.

You call it power sliding when there is infact no power involved. Its a fwd. No one will be impressed. If you knew anything, anything at all about cars you'd know the answer to that question, and the fact that you don't tell's us you're pretty inexperienced at driving and are likely to hurt yourself, the car or others in the process.

Your question alone is pretty childish that tells us a lot again and the fact that you really shouldn't be behind the wheel of that car.

Then you say that and it just pisses everyone off since you did get helped by a couple member who typed up really coherent responses. If you're planning on driving like a 16 year old then stick to some junker. Otherwise you are going to get some interesting feedback here...

Trolls roam free on the interwebz but you just trolled yourself good on that question.

Google could've answered that question in a second.

 

I'll only power slide on snow, which is actually fun as hell

 

Hahahaha is this the same OP who started that thread a few years back about trying to show off for his friends at high school and wrecked his TL in the parking lot. Then he said he'd just call the dealership and tell them he didn't want the car anymore because it was damaged so he's just going to return it and get his money back?

Somebody PLEASE post a link!
