I use to have an '89 CRX and if it is anything like that then I know how to do that. What I'm getting at is that I'm completely clueless on how to adjust the park brake cable of these cars. I just need to get the back brakes to grab a little better on the hills that I park on around here. Thanks.

Peel the rubber boot attached to the parking brake up and look for a threaded part with a nut on it. Mine had blue paint on it. Tighten that bolt until it only takes 5 - 7 clicks to hold the car. Make sure the brakes don't drag. Park on a flat surface, release the e brake, and take the car out of gear. Make sure you can push the car somewhat easy.

yeah like eric said, its under the boot, you have to take off the center console first, then once you get it off it is terribly obvious how to do it, you can see the cable and everything

Thank you gentlemen for the help. Hopefully now my car will hold itself in place when I use the parking brake.
