2 different places it could be. The main adjustment may be inside the center console , where the lever itself is. Some manufactureres put an adjustment knob near the base of the handle. Simply tighten it to shorten the cable. Another adjustment could be under the car itself , where the main e-brake cable splits into a cable going to each caliper in the rear. The adjustments were on either side individually. I'm not real sure how the 2G's are set up , sorry....:biggrin:

Yah I have no idea how to tightend the dam line!
on my old Toyota Cellica it was easy as hell, one screw to remove the plastic cover of the handel then use two plyers to tighten the dam thing. but on this car! No freeking idea.
How about the cerpentine belt, how hard is that to replace?
any help would be really nice, thanks guys!
