Default Tighten E-Brake/ Mods

I know this is probably a stupid question, but i was wondering if anyone knows how i would be able to tighten my e-brake? It feels like i'm pulling it way too much. Also i just recently started modding my gt(girlfriend wanted me to mod her mazda 3 for her bleh...i spent more money on her car than i have my own) Anyways what would be some good starters? My goal is to take down all those other forced induction cars, but stay Naturally Aspirated & take corners like a champ for the time being. Basically i high performance street car. Eventually i want to run a single turbo

Any Idea?????

All what other forced induction cars? (A terminator, Poopra, STi )
Is this goin 2 be your DD.
Slap your self: for god sake man have you ever got your car smoged in CA?

Building a N/A car in CA w/ what your asking will guarantee a fail smog.
+there arent too many CA 50 state legal turbo kits out there... good luck

I am soooo glad to see this thread... this is a newbie question that I haven't seen in at least a year. lol

Unfortunately there no adjustment to be made for the cable. The replacement the last time I checked is around $120. I'm still waiting to do mine. Every time I get around to it, I blow something up.

sorry i didnt make it very clear. my car has 180k on it and to add a turbo would be a BAD idea right now. im only gonna turbo once the motor is gone beyond repair. i want to make the motor last as long as possible cuz i plan on keepin the car. forever. but yeah alot of people here have supras and subbys.its a daily driver for right now. im saving to get a newer gt right now.

just a word of advice, don't listen to anyone with under a "reliable" amount of posts. Some noobs are alright but Most are stupid/ignorant.

CAI's are just about worthless so find a cheap or "best looking for your budget" CAI and start there. UDP's new are over priced. Tb/Plen don't add much but would be worth it if you have a little dough. Gears and Tires are going to be your best bang for the buck.

With a dyno tune, tb/plen, O/R H pipe, Flomasters and BBK CAI I made 250-60rwhp (Dyno depending) with my full 99 PI engine.

Around 230 is the normal dyno for a stock 99+ GT. For an NA car the normal rule of thumb is 4.10's for an Auto (4.30's if you do more racing than driving) If you're a Manual then go with 3.73's.

Niether will affect MPG tremendously. MPG is really about driving habits.
