Because 4wd Civic Coupe...that's all she wrote!

And also my other one isn't even on the list and i can't understand that, MANUAL HANDBRAKE or electronic but a way to have lock on rear wheels on command...like litteraly EVERY OTHER civic before.

If Iā€™m not mistaken if you hold the parking brake up while driving, it should lock the rears up. I havenā€˜t tried it personally, but someone else did say there was a way to get that to work out.

no i did it many times it locks all 4 wheels(not lock but strong ABS behaviour) but with a more agressive ABS patern it makes a rather scratchier noise and all 4 wheels brake hard. you can try it it's fine...it's an emergency braking system and it works well.
Maybe you can mod it to act only on the rear but mine this is my 2nd 10th gen and they both did the same thing.
Would love to test a Type R i'm sure it's basicaly work the same way, let me know :)

Ooh, that is a little interesting. Iā€™ll continue to admit I havenā€™t tried any of this, but apparently from a stop, the Type R will lock itā€™s rears if you try to accelerate and do a burn out. Makes me wonder if the throttle input has anything to do with it, same with TCS and other electronics.

i think it's the speed of the car...honda deemed safer to have the car braking hard in a straight line rather than have the rear wheels lock...from a safety stand point it makes total sense but from a car that will potentially be used at race tracks and stuff they could have 2 modes or something.
