Drifting

[whatsupadrian]

Got a nice amound of rain in last nighta and i decided to have some fun in an empty parking lot. I tossed my oem wheels on and took the car for a spin. One thing i noticed. When i got my car sidewaya and was counter steering i would get a Low brake fluid light come on and it would turn off quickly after i got the car strait. Is this because all the fluid is rushing to the side or because my car has a problem?

it's not only a 'low fluid' light, it represents a failure within the braking system, including both :
- a situation where the ABS is disabled due to the sensor reading an improper event for ABS to come on.
- a car situation that is beyond the ability for traction control / advance track to correct (the traction light also comes on)

- drifting probably made the ABS upset at the different speeds the wheel where spinning and therefore ABS would not be applied. This happen to me when I'm racing with my TC turned off and turning a hard corner then reaching for the brakes....

reverse - it means it's easier to lock your brakes when the ABS is disabled....
