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.
