e brake

[95_white_firebird]

ok on my 95 firebird the e brake is on the right side of the center console and i really hate that bc its so hard to access it easily like for drifting and i was wondering if anyone knew if i could or how to move it from the right to the left side like right beside the drivers seat for easy access?

You would have to redesign the console, and the ratchets (where the cable connects) on the handle it'self. This would be something to take photo's of IF you attempt it. Good luck!

I like where the e brake is located. If it was right by your side it would be too close and you'd have to hunch your right shoulder up to get to it with comfort. With it being on the other side you can reach for it easily without leaning or hunching up.

I agree with Gall. It is a great place...even for...drifting...

I was just reading something today about how drifters put this thing on the e-brake, that makes the button always pushed in so you can move it whenever you want. Only downside is you'd have to hold it up/its not good for DD

You need an e brake to drift a RWD car?????

I don't know how experienced you are with drifting, but why don't you worry more about practicing weight transfers and clutch kicking. They do make drift buttons which is what Fbody3400 is talking about, but I doubt they make one to fit the f-body. Try to download Drift Bible... that video is so good. They teach pretty much all the drift techniques.

Also, if you don't have a fully modified suspension yet then I would worry about that before moving the e-brake to meet your preference.

Why not just hold the button in?
