Ebrake: drift, etc.
Ok, im fairly new to the FC, and the other day i was going to flip a bitch (ebrake u turn) like i did all the time in my S14, and the ebrake has a TON of resistance!! i had to yank that ************ and it still wouldnt fully lock up. when i did my rear brake pads the other day, i lubricated the moving parts and the cable, but it didnt really do much. is there a modification that can be made to the ebrake system to get better leverage?
I miss using the ebrake to assist with drifts and 180s.
please help me!

unscrew the plastic on the side of the e-brake, then there is a flat head screw on the top, just loosen it.

It's cable play. My 88 SE would lock up but my 88 GTU wouldn't. Just adjust it from the side like mentioned above.
That's not your problem anyways. You need to leanrt how to not use the Ebrake!
I use the Ebrake to initial some drifts but Clutch kick/accel/braking by itlself works.
I like U turns because I get sideways every time. Just get a good turn going then power over.

Tighten the screw useing a large flathead screwdriver or an 8mm? Maybe 10mm...
Don't use the E-brake to kick it sideways, there are ALOT of other options. I only resort to the E-brake when i'm ALLREADY sideways and i need to get back to the other side.
Use engine drag brake, keep the car in gear, usually 3nd while under deceleration for a local corner around my home..., enter the corner WAY too hot, hit the brakes while instantaniously cutting the wheel for the corner, tail brake/engine brake effect starts here: The second you feel the rear end start to "get sideways" either A: Blip to a lower gear and get the revs up, B: jolt the driveline IE( clutch in, revv, clutch out, breake tires loose, or C: if you have an extream amount of power just roll on the thottle pedal.
Remember driving a car is like making love to a girl, be gentle, MAKE SURE your throttle/brake input is as smooth as possible, one wrong flinch of the throttle pedal while sliding sideways could cause a weight imbalance, in turn causeing you to spin...
Good luck and keep it off the streets! If you gunna race, drag, drift DO IT ON THE TRACK,
