Brakes?
ok i have a question about the brakes is it possible to take the brakes and make one for the front and one for back and then split a peddle in half and then use its as one peddle and one half controls the front and one half controls the back?? i was wondering what the effect of this would be and would it help you if you were drifting?

Re: Brakes?
That woulnd't work cause you'd need a second brake booster to work 2 seperate brake pedals
There are brake-bias controllers that you can get. I know they outlaw them in some classes of dirt track racing.
Changing the brake bias will do nothing more than what the ebrake can do; the only way to get the rear end to slide is literally by locking up the rear wheels, either with the ebrake or the brake pedals, how you do it dont change the fact that front-wheel drive cars just "a55-drag", nothing more. That's quite good for the rear tires too.
If you're trying to drift your Mx-3, do it and us a favor and sell it to get a rear-wheel drive car. It doesn't matter what you do, you won't be able to drift your Mx-3.
If your racing, you could look into techniques like left-foot braking and such, but those are for controlling the balance of the car to better take corners. Some may induce oversteer in the rear end, but you need power to the rear wheels to maintain a drift.
If you want to get sideways and play with the ebrake, find some snow or gravel, or put some fast food trays on the rear wheels and lock the ebrake.
