How far does the lever come up? maybe it needs adjustment.

There is an adjustment screw in the e-brake lever. From what i remember i think its a 10 or 8mm.

1.lift the shift lever as high as possible. there should be a hole on the underside of the boot2. 10mm or 8mm and adjust to personal preference or FSM specs.

it comes up all the way.... just wont lock....but i will look under to see if i can see the screw

[slidethe40]

wont lock the wheels up? or the lever wont lock? there is a spring alot of people take out for sweet drifting .

is there a stainless steel line you can buy for the ebrake?

[180fan]

won't make too much of a difference to use a stainless steel hand brake line...

ya sure you have some pad left on your back brakes? and if so use the 10 mm deep socket it under your e-brake lever and adjust it.

-Pull e-brake as high as possible-on the buttom of the e-brake lever. on the side facing the front of the car there should be a a little whole you can stick things into in this case you stick a deep socket in it. and adjust to your liking :-D

lol, if you dont have pad, you hear it everytime you push the brakes, lol, i have done this. you should be able to tighten up the cable right?

[BoostGetsULaid]
