Pfft... hydraulic handbrakes. Tighten up the cable adjusters and flex those arm muscles ;)

Damn -40 Karma.

Meh Hydros are pretty damn cool, however tightening the factory handbrake on these is really easy!

The amount of times Ive been mid corner tandeming and gone for the handbrake only for it to not work(I tighten my handbrake everytime I change wheels). :shock:

Its fine for Gymkhana but even the biggest pull wont do it, on the track I have to hit the footbrake too.

Yeah, mostly said in jest. My handbrake is better than when I got it, but still pretty useless when used for drifting, it definitely works better when combined with foot-brake/weight shift.

It's a shame that an LVV cannot have a hydraulic handbrake without an authority card...

Factory handbrake was a fail for me too, I always adjusted it before track days,modified to improve the lever angles at the caliper for more leverage, and was still always dissapointed. hydro has sorted my issues, still have to pull it pretty hard tho, think i need to try a different size master.
