lol that'll learn u :p
I would change the ABS/Brake fluid and see how that goes.

Also short the ECU harness and check for any error codes.

You effectively disabled the ABS. Has happened pretty much all the time when the car has been on the dyno. Front wheels moving and rears not.

Yes it goes back to normal after a restart or after a short drive.

As for your handbrake not working... well what do you expect.

your ABS computer knows you have yanked the Park Brake and then it sees the rear wheels lock while the fronts are turning, sort of says WTF and makes the ABS light come on.

rest the ABS ecu and your good to go

tighten yout handbrake and see if it fixes the problem.
