I was just wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the emergency brake cable or adjust the drum pads in order to minimize the e-brake handle travel. I've looked in the Haynes manual and I can't seem to find where it says how to adjust the cable or how many clicks it takes to lock all the way. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

Just a quicky. Why do you guys call it an "emergancy" brake? 'Cos it's the last thing I go for if I have to stop in a hurry.
It's a handbrake. It always will be a handbrake. -------------------- JDM ST205

teh adjustment screw is right under the e-brake. You will have ot take off the console to get at teh screw. They just tighten it down.
