Did a little work last weekend on my 4 day weekend.
I had been meaning to install the other SLP cat.
I installed the drivers rear window regulator.
I adjusted the parking brake, which on a side note, not sure why people bitch about this. It took 5 minutes.
Plastidipped the wheels.

Can you explain or do a quick little write up on what you did to adjust the E-brake and how it only took 5 minutes? I've been needing to adjust mine extremely bad, just not sure how to tackle it.

I like it.
FYI, this is my ******* build thread, so if you don't like it, then don't look at it. No need to be a douche bag about it.
I am good with comments that are not in favor of my style, but it was done with plastidip, for a reason.
I have been "murdering-out" vehicles since 1992 and it is a little played out, so I was going with something different.

1. Take off the wheel
2. Take off the Caliper and set it on top of the UCA.
3. With the proper Torx, take off the disc rotor.
4. With a screw driver turn the adjuster, so the cap opens up and pushes out on the parking brake shoes.
5. Test fit the rotor so it slips on without dragging.
This is brief and does not include safety measure and with some of the idiots on here, make sure you know how to properly jack and secure the car before you take off thew wheel as I am not liable for your idiocy.

Regardless, thanks for the quick run down!

To be honest, I only had time to do the drivers and it helped ALOT, so I am sure doing both will remedy the little bit of creep that I have now.
All that **** you have done to your car and the Parking Brake does not work. lol

Thats true! Lol u were movin when u exited Scott street. I would have got on it but traffic was shitty so I just kept rollin. Lol and thanks man! I wasn't a fan of the silver initially but after owning the black one, I needed a change. I like it setup like this. Glad I went the black grills/wheels route over chrome. Looks more sinister. But anyway, let's plan to meet up sometime. I'd like to get a V meet together for us south side folks. Maybe a Galveston meet or something so we can eat and chill somewhere.
