Ok i have a problem don't know if it's in general, when i pull the lever for the e-brake, it does work but it doesn't lock the wheels like i would like, i would like them to lock out, when the lever is on the up position even at rolling speeds. How do i do that, i know that in the lever mechanism there is a screw that i can use, but it only shortens the trow of the lever but it doesn't locks the wheels, any suggestions, is there something i can move or change in the lower back of my car, like an adjusting screw or something. I have drums by the way, do rear disk brake wou;d do this?

If you take off the rear wheel, there is a hole in your drum-in-disc with a gear in it. That's the adjustment gear for the ebrake drum-in-disc pads. Play with it, and you'll get it the way you want it.

yes the way you adjust the ebrake is to take the adjuster nut thing on the line in the center console and make it tighter, you have to diengage the ebrake first then adjust it tighter then pull it up and see how it feels and when you like it that's it. Bwahaha I adjusted mine to 3 click and drift baby!
WHy do you wanna lock up the wheels eh? Trying to drift you car hehe?

>does the tightening under the console shorten the throw? I >hate having to pull the lever so high, its annoying.
It does shorten the throw, but i did that, and couldn´t lock my wheels, i was afraid i could brake my e-brake cable, the solution for my problem is what Dino said, i´m going to try it this weekend, and see how it goes, drifting here i came with bald tires....
