I am a owner of a Celica GT hatchback. And from what they have told me some mechanics here in Greece if i pull the handbrake while i drive me car something is going to break! I believe this is true but is there any mod that can be done to make the handbrake usefull not only for parking but also for energetic safety??? Sorry, i am asking all these but i believe that the use of the handbrake some times is something more than important! Thanks Anyway!

i pulled mine once to take this turn at like 90 while i was running from the cops, and when i got my car back the ass of the car was vibrating wicked bad, i got out and looked around and i noticed i had destroyed about 4" of tread on the rear tires right down to the belt, it was making the car vibrate like heck and sounded awfull

so IMO pull the e-brake only in snow or ice (to drift) or on terrible tires

There is also a chance of the ebrake getting stuck in the on position if you yank it hard enough, its happened to me alot in other cars, never in my celi tho, idk if its possible to get it seized in a celi
