braking

[MR2oldschool]

im really confused about braking, first of all i didnt thik it was possible to lock up the rear tires with the brake peadle,i didnt think it applied that much braking force to the rear tires, and i didnt think the ABS effected the Ebrake, i guess it makes sense tho cause i have a 94 acrd I4 V-TECH 2 dr auto, which of course is FWD, and i pull hand brake turns all the time and as soon as i drop the lever the tires start to move.

Im not sure exatcly what you are asking...

but ill try to answer it to the best of my ability in basic language before the flaming begins.. lol

First of all, when you are on the gas an accelerating weight is transfered to the rear of the car, after you hit the brakes, the weight transfers to the front, hence, leaving less weight in the rear, combine that with some turning and you have lost traction with your rear wheels.

When you pull the ebrake.. the rears lock up.. when you release it, the brakes disengage and the wheels can rotate..

hope that helps you somehow.

The foot brake will lock the rears. Go watch any AutoX with CRXs and you'll see the rears lock.
