trebor69 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm noticing more and more pictures of supra's without the handbrake on when parked , are they prone to sticking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I always leave mine in gear handbrake off, from when I used to drive an MR2, the handbrakes were always sticking on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I use mine all the time even when its stood for ages mainly because its habit because of everyday being in a manual but ive never had any problems with mine sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor69 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I use my car 3 or 4 times a week and after a few days of not using it i can certainly hear / feel it for a few miles after drive off , but instinct just tells me to keep putting it on .

RobSheffield Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I always used to apply the parking brake. My dad always leaves a car in gear. Imagine the confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I always use my handbrake. Only time I take it off is when I know it's going to be sitting for any length of time. I had mine sitting for a few months and I had a LOT of trouble budging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movistar Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 always use mine and never had a problem and mines stored for months on end. Having said that it might be worse for those who have them left outside,as corrosion can build up on the inner part of the disc/drum. mind you i have stripped down and cleaned mine so there is no brake dust build up on the shoes and surrounding area as this can contribute to this problem. Iam not keen on trusting the parking pull peg in the box to hold the car as its only a little thing and not really designed to take the full weight of a supra on a regular basis...imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
