Intalled Eibach front sway-bar yesterday. Much easier than the rear, you would be crazy to pay someone to do this for you.

E-badge installed! Rear stinger badge is next.

E-Badge

sound proofed the trunk today , my 18 yr old Son swears the sound of the stereo is MUCH improved ( Bass ) !.................I'll run it around a bit to give my thoughts later , fun project ............

Should have taken a few pictures of your handy work. I'm sure the guys/gals would appreciate seeing a quality install. Well at least thats what my eyes saw. Just curious if that stuff will muffle passanger side wife chatter.

Well I thought about taking pics but it looks the same as every other members job I've seen so I chose not to , I find leaving the wife at home solves the "chatter " issue !

just finished removing the rear seat and sound proofing the floor underneath , easy removal , just pull straight up on the front on each side and the 2 clips release easily , there is one electrical clip on the passenger side that need to be released as well ...............I'll road test and report in time

Totally unrelated. Any mod how-to install led bar light in the trunk to open and "blink" a little from drivers seat?

Did you have to drop the front splash shield?

Honestly whenever I think that youre like another 7 cm taller than I am, it completely blows my mind, how do you fit in the car?! I barely fit at 198cm and a week ago I went to the race track where I'm obliged to wear a helmet, I was literally sitting in my seat at an angle like / to fit in!

Hey hey hey! Dont downsize me! im actually 9 cm tallar than you (207cm short)

I fit quite good, i probably have a tad longer legs than upper body, big bumps and woo speed makes head hurtz.

But i am NOT sexy getting in or out of the car I more or less have to sit almost at the ground to get in, AND i have to tilt my head as much i can toward my shoulder to get the head inside.

I think @xot1 was looking for rear seat weights recently since you have them out.

f*cking hell, youre right, actually 9 cm not 7 cm. Luckilly its' not that bad for me that I properly hit my head with big bumps.
In february I crashed my Stinger and it was in the dealership for a month and meanwhile I had Toyota RAV 4 as my the replacement car from insurance. I had forgotten how easy it is to get into a car that actually has real ground clearance not like our Stingers... Then when I got into the Stinger I remembered why I love driving it and can live with the very ungracious way of getting in and out haha

the stingers "sports(?)" seats is the wides ones i've had.

Previously i've had Seat Cupra 280, seat was "so tiny" (compared to stinger) that i got a nerve damage when i almost for 2 years weekly travel for work like 370 km one way.


EDIT: also, a fun "note", when i was 12 i was around 180 cm, 14 around 194cm. Passed 200cm before 18 y.o.

For americans: at 12 i was 2,088 washing machines tall, at 14 2,24 washing machines tall, and i passed 2,31 washing machines before i turned 18 y.o. assuming one standard height if washing machines is 34 inches.

I put the car through it's paces today. Took it up on the Back of the Dragon in Virginia and then I took on a road that is near the Back of the Dragon only it's WAY more sketchy and no rails on the sides of roads haha.

It's great having a dashcam that can record all my trips. I think I got good audio of the exhaust and the intakes ripping through these roads. Almost added a deer to the front of my car to go with the 12,485 dead flies.

I put on some new aluminum pedals I got to sharpen them up from just the plain black rubber. It’s the little things lol

Hooked up a battery tender after it wouldn't start and I had to jump it using my Genius GB40. I used the remote start to let it run for 10 minutes, now the tender will stay connected until I can drive it again.

Last time I bought gas was 2/13, and it has close to a full tank. I had been running it every few weeks, but that doesn't appear to be enough.
