The car is a 91 hatch and i have been having problems with locking up the rear wheels. The e-brake works fine for parking but not so well for sliding. I tried tightening the 10mm bolt inside the e-brake boot but that just made it harder to pull with same crappy results...any help is appreciated.

Bleed your system but get new pads. My girl feels tighter after that usually....

when you are talking about drifting.. are you doing any weight transfer? my ebrake wont lock up either if i am driving straight and rip the ebrake.
this might be a dumb question. but are you pushing in the clutch when you rip the ebrake?

the term weight transfer reminds me of the first Grand Turismo game...


And the 900 HP Supra i had in it.
