Integra Type R RM Glitch?

Um, I apply one with my foot, and the other with my hand.

Elaborate?

👍

Handbrake and E-Brake are the same thing. If you're using your foot to apply the handbrake/E-brake, then I applaud your flexibility.

Thanx Roj.

I find it the best way to bring an SL to a halt.
Or alternatively, ensure that the Merc is still where I left it when I've finished visiting some library or brothel that is situated on the slope of a fairly steep hill.


Ahem.
Handbrake: A brake operated by hand which actuates on the rear wheels and is a good, handy device for ensuring your vehicle doesn't roll away, or be pushed across the pub carpark by your drunken mates.
E-brake: A brake operated by all manner of appendages, including the hand, foot, and even elbow, if you happen to be still holding your coffee and your phone and you're driving a passat at the time.
The E-brake on a Mercedes is called an E-brake as it was originally designed to be used in conjunction with the footbrake (so called, because you use your foot to actuate it, sportsfans) when conducting an Emergency stopping manoeuvre. The pedal (yes that's a pedal) is situated close to the footbrake pedal, against the gearbox tunnel, allowing the emergency-stopping driver to hit both feet down sharply and apply the maximum braking force to the car at the same time by actuating both footbrake and E-brake equally (assuming his/her legs are the same length).
On some vehicles, such as the Mercedes GL420 for example, the E-brake actuates on all four wheels, in an attempt to bring 3+ tonnes to a stop.
Ironically, If I had to bend down to operate this particular E-brake with my hands Roj, I would indeed be in a travelling freak show, and be making a vast amount of money from my immense flexibility.
Many thanx for the heads up from the ever reliable wikipedia...

Oh how we laugh....

You know that if you hold the handbrake button for 1 second it "sets" the parking brake and will stay engaged until the player presses the handbrake button again to release it.

Try it. I have been fiddling around with parking cars on steep hills for photos. In the onld games the handbrake would release as you released the button on the controller.

Hope that helps

I've never understood why Americans (I presume the trend started there) call the handbrake an Emergency brake. I mean, yeah, if the emergency is 'oh no, the brakes aren't working, presumably due to damaged brake lines and/or lack of brake fluid and I can't stop but there are solid objects in front of me', then yes, it's an emergency brake, but almost any other kind of vehicular emergency I can think of really wouldn't benefit from having the rear wheels locked. Such as 'oh no, I tried to turn while driving on ice and now I'm spinning out of control and really need to stop'; a handbrake isn't going to help that emergency, in fact it'll just make it worse.

Anyway, on topic, to spin the wheels of most FWD cars, all you'd need to do is put the car in neutral, apply some revs, select first gear and dump the clutch. You'll find the combination of high torque and being stationary will cause your wheels to spin, handbrake or no handbrake. I guess in an automatic you could just floor the accelerator, that might work. Of course, in GT5, unless you have a G25/7 you can't use a clutch, so whatever.

or be pushed across the pub carpark by your drunken mates.

Unless you own a pre-German Mini, as a mate of mine found out...

Lol I agree! The handbrake would be quite useless in most emergency instances. The parking brake is generally a hand or foot operated locking brake. I could only see the "Emergency" analogy being used in the case where you parked on a hill and need to engage the parking brake to avert an emergency where your car goes sailing down a hill without a driver.

Interesting insight though. I never thought about how many people in Canada refer to it as an emergency brake as well. But we up here in Canada are little more than America's "Hat", so I guess I shouldn't expect anything different.

The emergency brake is applied with the foot for the old american cars such as buick and oldsmobile.

Nonetheless hand-brake/emergency brake has the same function, therefore they're the same thing.

What exactly is the problem? It's common for a FWD car to drag its arse with the handbrake on, especially with those new-fangled electric handbrakes that have a mind of their own
Instead of low grip rear, high grip front, try the other way around - i.e. CH front, RS rear. That's assuming you're trying to do a stationary burn out?

In every GT game I can remember, the handbrake / rev thing has never worked on FWD cars - you need to stop and press and hold the normal footbrake instead, and then rev.
The handbrake method only works on RWD / 4WD cars because the game automatically puts the clutch in for you

Maw that's wrong. In GT4 I was able to do hand brake smoke shows with FF cars (the ITR was one of my fav to do it with) I was also able to do full smoke shows with rear wheel drive cars. Both the FF & FR cars would roast the tires on the spot, if you know how to do a burn out.
