technical e-brake question...
I've been wanting to increase the strength of my e-brake. It seems pretty weak on my 92 hatch. I heard that there is a way to tighten the cable but i'm not to sure on how to go about it.
If you guys have any previous experience with this please let me know. Thanks
Ps. I did search but still didn't find my answer.

remove the interior panels around the brake and you'll see an adjuster nut on the back end of the brake...tighten it up and it will just make the cables more taught...make it too tight and you'll lock the rear brakes...just tighten it so it engauges around 5-10 clicks

as said below,remove the cover around the e-brake handle..i usually jack both rear wheel soff the ground on my car via the rear tow hook.then set the handle to the first or second click.now spin the rear wheels and tighten it until there's just a little bit of resistance.

Drifting?
If so, let me know. FWD Drifting uses the E-Brake quite a bit...and you may be thinking to drift your Civic? It won't "sweep" like a RWD, but it works.
Anyways, like they say, a single nut where the cables attach to the hand-brake lever is what you tighten.
