Does anyone know if there will be adverse effects to the traction control
system as a result of doing J turns ( locking rear wheels)? I may be getting
a crv but would want to mess it up, and yes, I do alot of J tuns in the
winter.

What the F*** is a J turn?

An incomplete "U" turn?

Its when you reverse hard, flick the front around, and then move off
in the opposite direction to that you're facing. Also called the
reverse flick. no need for it ever to be done on public roads. About
the only use of it, is to retreat from an attacker in front of you.

That being said Dan I would need more of a vehicle than a CR-V to retreat
from an attacker. CR-V barely has enough power to get out of its own way,
and I own one.

Actually, I think the term for that is a "K" turn not a "J" turn. You back
up and go in the opposite direction. It looks like a bowed "K".

Independant of the traction control, what you describe cannot be done in
an AWD version of the CR-V because the AWD will kick in (even in
reverse). You also can't yank the park brake to make the rear end swing
around, while going forward, because the AWD will do it's best to keep
the front and rear axles spinning at the same speed. . . You just end up
doing a 4-wheel drift (and if your brakes are good enough, you'll stall
a manual version).

You'll have to get a 2WD CR-V if you want to keep doing that trick.
Sorry :-(

I've never heward of a 'k-turn' - every course i've been on,
instruction video/book i've seen, its called a J turn, as in thats the
shape you do in reverse

I've always heard it referred to as a K turn but when I draw it out it looks
more like a J.

If it's got tits, tires, tubes, or transistors, it's trouble.

This may be a regional or area thing. I'm originally from NYC and it was
called a "K" turn when I was learning to drive. Not really a big deal if
you get down to it. It describes the same maneuver.
