no, it's facing back and down slightly. if you look down the center, you can see the 5mm led's horizontal with the circuit board connecting facing vertical.

Tried out my QuickJack.

Continued the great Dynamat experiment this weekend, getting the back seat area done. Next up will be yanking out the front seats/console/carpet to do the rest of the floor. Gotta say I'm pretty happy with the results so far, considering I've only added about 3.6lb to the car. Might get away with skipping MLV altogether.

^it looks weird to see someone actually use sound dampening as it should be used instead of slathering every panel with full sheets of the stuff

Can never be too safe. I put a pair of stands under the front too after I snapped the pic.

Yep, believe it or not, I correctly installed a part that wasn't specifically designed and manufactured for my exact car and it didn't explode

I don't think I was trying to be rude either, just trying to thank him for improving the dialogue with his keen observation

i installed the cdc mustang brake light in that location.. by all merits, it should make me more prone to sideswiping crowds. since installing it, 1st-2nd gear change has resulted in more pendulum effect leaving cars and coffee.

Oh also, TIL that there's a timer on your dome light to save your battery. But there is no such timer on the little light in the trunk, which will drain your battery dead over the course of a weekend. Whoops.

where are the jackstands supporting on rear and front? i've only ever used the pinch welds but would be good to know of other jack points besides the central front and rear area

You can use the suspension mounting points. If it holds up the car in a turn, it'll hold up on a jackstand!

I placed the stands under the rear LCA, and under the front subframe. They actually aren't touching the car tho, and are there for "just in case" reasons. All four of my stands don't go as high as the QuickJack itself.

Haha. That just means you got your money's worth and then some out of them.

Ordered an OFT and bought a used gruppe-s header from a friend.

Going back to a stock catback and will be selling my Corsa setup once I uninstall it.
