Sounds like you've been stabbing at the brake a lot and the cable could be stretching.

well yeah. when cops are hiding, i use the handbrake to slow down if i spot them fast enough. if they see your brake lights, they figure you have a radar or was speeding already. i've had close calls already.

Go down to your local pepboys or autozone or library. Look through the general brakes book. Any ajustment that you could do would be the same for all cars with rear drums

for some cars they have automatic adjustment... Which means, drive in reverse and pull up on the e brake a few times untill its where you want it. Not sure if it works on Lancers but its worth a shot.
