use first gear for now, but go to thema nd 'replicate' the problem. they'll fix it for u
yea honda's stupid handbrake system
i brang it up to honda and all they said was, "ur meant to put it in first gear when u park" and wont tighten it for me
my car rolled down a hill before nearly hitting another house
what douchebags. I think you cna DIY it if you take the covers off... not tryin that though.
Honda handbrakes are shiet, no wonder why u don't get drifting civics!
Take it to a non dealership mechanic. I'm pretty sure they'll be a lot more helpful.
the handbrake isnt designed to hold the vehicle on its own you know...

do u guys drift like that? or is the handbrake too weak?
i never tried and i dont plan to
I think the handbrake needs to be adjusted to drift like that .. you can still do it but its much harder
I thought that was the sole purpose of having a hand brake? :confused:Quote:
