Need help with tightening handbrake

[akaijei]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Fiesta forum here and I'm quite the newb when it comes to cars, but I'm happy to see how many fiesta st owners there are out there. You all have great taste. My first ask here is, can someone please provide some instruction on tightening the handbrake on the fiesta st? I'm trying to do handbrake drifts on dusty roads, but there is too much lag time from when I pull the hand brake and when I'm trying to drift the corner.

The parking brake is not a drift brake.
Tightening the parking brake cable will only cause drag on your rear wheels and cause damage to the components.

A drift brake is a separate hydraulic brake system added to the rear wheels.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice, Dave. Lots to learn still.
