Tighten e-brake

okay so I tried searching but I couldn't find anything, so what could you guys tell me about tightening up my e-brake .. i do autocross, and sometimes i pull it so i can slide a curve better, but its gotten to the point where it just sucks. I gotta pull it all the way up and still not much happens, even when not moving. So, is it like something I tighten or something to replace? Has anyone done it? Any help is appreciated.

ok.. i'll help

Take apart your center console piece. If you don't know how to do that then look it up in the DIY. Its easy, 2 clips in the front that you just push in the center, and 2 bolts in the back...

After you take it out, you'll see the goodies of what your EBRAKE is made of. There is only one thing at the bottom that you can tighten. Take the correct tool (I forgot what I used) and tighten it to the right until you have your EBRAKE to the setting that you want.

You may think these are shitty instructions, but its really easy! All you need to know how to do is to take out the console. If you already know that, then just stare at the EBRAKE lines and figure it out from there. Hope I helped a little...
