e-brake...

[Archon_Ninja]

I don't know much about braking systems and all that but...

Pulling up the e-brake and stepping on the gas.... is that bad for your car in some way? I know that the e-brakes lock up the rear wheels but could that potential harm your car in any other way?

Wanted to try that one thing that i read on here long time ago, about putting your rear wheels on trays and sliding around, but it has got me thinging not sure what it all requires in your brake system.

basically just locks the back breaks.. thats all.. if ofcourse they are on trays then its not a big deal..

What about regular brakes? Someone once told me that it's like 60/40, not equal with front and back. Is that true?

On a related note ... do US Celicas have the EBD (electronic brake distribution) like the Japanese SS-II?
