E-braking to "drift" in snow (FWD)

[samurai10001]

Does e-braking in snow or just in general present any risks to your car (mechanical not like crashing).. Thanks

It should be fine in the snow, so little load on the brake.

Oh yea I forgot to say, the car would be an older (early to mid 90s) civic

Sorry about double post my iPod is being stupid

In snow, no. In general, don't use e-brake.

No, it's fine... and FUN! Just watch you don't hit a bare spot.

When you do it you just hold the release in and pull right?

Yeah, just be sure you don't lock it.. Use the throttle to correct and gain speed while you're e-braking.. It's kinda fun, in a simple manner.. Then you start going sideways in fwds on snow covered roads without using the ebrake.. That's proper fun

Also, **** it.. It's a Civic.. Get coilovers and wheels and wait for the summer.
