Well i find my handbrake shite lol i can drive with it on but it slows you down eventually.

There seems to still be some tension in the spring tho. When you push the lever as if the car had fattehs in nothing moves.

The slacker the spring, the less force to the back wheels.

Adjusting the rear drums would help aswell.

And, with the handbrake, the rears will still lock, as it uses a different way of pulling the brakes.

eh? if you use your handbrake the rear wheels will lock, that pedal in the middle is the brake pedal you use to slow down/stop

Iv attempted to adjust my brake bias valve on my 1.4 sport.

Iv loosened it in such that the spring is now as far back towards the back bumper as possible.

The problem is that nothing has changed, i can manage to sometimes to lock back wheels up even with handbrake on its like a drift car.

Do i possibly need a new bias valve thing? Or am i doing something wrong.
