E-Break Tightening Bolt

I was wondering I herd this from a friend there are 2 bolts that are used to tighten your ebrake, 1 at the bottom of the handle of the e-break and the other under the counsile/cubby hole in the middle

Is this true?

I looking to tighten my e-break so when i pull it my tires lock up instead of just slowing down, anyone know how do to that?

Just a note of caution.... When you do that you are going to FLAT SPOT your tires really bad! To the point where you will be hopping down the road.... A friend drove my max and ruined my right rear tyre because he used the e-brake exiting an opff ramp... Just my 2 cents...

You can adjust it from the right rear wheel well... If you follow the E-Brak cable it will goto the right rear, frm there i think its a 12 or 14mm socket you will need to loosen, once it loose, grab some pliers and apply desired preassure...

For the begining we want to be showing what our cars can really do, and i told them i would work on doing a 360 on the freeway, at like midnight, while no cars,

But my e-brake doesnt seem to lock up the wheels the way i wanted to, just trying to figure out how to get them to lock up.
