yea ass sliding in the new civics is a little difficult.the new civics dont lock up very well huh.

 

Yea lol, its almost impossible to lock em up in the rain.

 

is this the only way to do it? i don't wanna have to move the centre console around i've wiring in there!

 

lol if it dosent lock up ur not yanking it hard enough haha

 

great diy, time to do more drifts in my car

 

Is this the same on manual transmissions? I don't see the nut that I'm supposed to loosen, then tighten under the console. The diagram isn't that clear or maybe it's just me.

I've only pulled up the plastic under the gear shift knob. When I attempted to pull up more of the plastic, a locking spring/clamp do-hicky popped off and getting it back in place would require pulling up the whole console. No way to get my fat fingers in there.

 

If you can't lock up your rear wheels, your tires are too new.

 

Just give the front brakes a quick pound then rip the e brake works for me evertime

I just changed the rear pads on my EX and now the parking brake adjustment is off. Any ideas what would cause this?

Very good write-up, gonna do tomorrow.

 

cool diy, gonna try this when i get the time.

 

Has anyone with an si done this recently?

 

I am trying to do this DIY. My right wheel is not grabbing when applying the emergency brake.

Three questions
1)How do I get to the adjusting nut? I can fit a 10mm wrench on it but there is no room to adjust. I went ahead and removed the entire console.

2)The pinion attachment under the console; does the right cable go to the right wheel?

3)I have a feeling that if question 2 is true I have a larger problem. What steps need to be taken if adjusting using this DIY is not sufficient? Can I adjust the brake at the wheel?

Thanks,

Idno. I was under the impression our e-brake is self adjusting. A lot of cars are. Reverse and pu ll the ebrake. It's either reverse then hit the front brakes or reverse and pull ebrake. Mine used to be loose as hell. Now it's tight like when I bought it two years ago.

Great write up! I gotta do this right now actually.

 

Just wanted to put these up for people to make the diagram more clear.. Just did it the DIY was great! I also recommend just taking out the entire console it's easier there's only 4 screws and a couple push pins. Oh n just unhook the clip for the wires to the cigarette lighter and everything will come right out
