If you look closely you can see that the left side is older then the right side wire. You can see that I have adjusted the brake tighter (reveled shinier thread) The right one (wire) is more shiney and is less flexable. This causes the left side to ram up agaist the ebrake itself, preventing full application of the ebrake. Would I have to replace the left wire to balence it out?

hmm.. seems like the left cable was stretched to begin with and this just exasperbated an existing problem.

ebrake wires can't be very expensive.. so why not replace it?

Would I have to go to honda to get a replacment or what? I also have a few missing interior screws I would to get, honda for these also?

E-brake cables are $50~$60 each.

The two civics Ive owned were like that so I figured that its normal. My car hasn't rolled away yet. (knocks on wood)

did they really look like that? Where can I get an ebrake cable and where to get it installed?

Every single car I've ever owned has looked just like the picture.

I've been through about 15 cars. I consider it relatively 'normal'.
