Emergency Brake calibration question

[blacksheepms3]

Anybody of you guys notice the e brake of ms3 is kinda weak. I mean, it holds the car when parkin up/downhill but it doesnt have a strong bite when pulled on a dry or even on wet road. It slows the car down, but i want to use it to swing the rear. You can flame me for wanting to do that, but if you know how to make the e brake bite more please let me know. Thanks guys

Pull up on the brake and count the clicks. The standard is 3-7. If it is more than 7 (in fact, I would adjust closer to 5 if it was me), you can adjust it by opening the little square cover at the back of the cup holder area and turning the nut you see there.

So i tighten my ebrakes. I spent a good hour fine tuning it to my liking. I made it too tight (4 clicks without effort) that i felt the car is bein slowed down by the e brake. So then I loosen it up a bit ( 5 clicks without great effort) and it was great. I approach the parking spot in front of my house at about 25-30 mph. then I pulled on the ebrake and it bit **screeechhh***. Now i feel like the ebrake got more function that just to keep the car from moving when parked. Now maybe I can do that scene from fast and the furious when the guy just won a race and he pulled the ebrake on his skyline and he went sideway for a little bit and he ended up facing the camera. hehe (do not pull hard on the ebrake when travelling on a highway speed, you'll lose control) I set it so it can still be modulated by keeping the button pressed.
