redstriker Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well done! Agreed. I had to rush my friend to a class at the nearby airport. The rear is very firm at high speeds now. I like!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That rear bar really does make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acumenhokie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Any reason why you started on the hard setting? When I contacted Whiteline they said to start soft and go from there (granted I did front and rear sway bar not just rear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I contacted Whiteline they said to start soft and go from there (granted I did front and rear sway bar not just rear). The reason why I did that so that I wouldn't have to adjust it multiple times in the future. Keep in mind that me and my friend wrestled with the sway bar for about 2 or more hours just trying to get the endlinks into the holes. We were both frustrated and said screw it and just installed it on the hard setting so we wouldn't have to mess with it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriker Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, I have to find where the coolant leak is now. It is a slow one, but I can see the level dropping. It looks like it somewhere near the radiator/coolant reservoir. I can see some fresh coolant on the radiator fan and the general area. Any ideas to where the leak is occuring? I have a feeling that I will be needing to take off my front bumper to even see the leak clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL21376 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 You could always put leak detection dye in it. Is the car still under warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that the closest dealer is 100 miles away from me and I really don't feel like taking another bus trip to go pick up my car.

I've used similar dyes to diagnose ac leaks successfully. On the plus side, it doesn't sound like the head gasket if you are finding signs of leaking coolant. Follow all the lines looking for cracked hoses? Overflow tank cracked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstriker Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Got my car back from the dealer today. I just have to get used to the clutch again, it feels different. My COBB AP still works and reflashed it back to Stage 1 again just in case. Final verdict on my car - Thermostat went bad, continued driving with thermostat damage, caused damage to the left head gasket. So they replaced both head gaskets and new thermostat.

CL21376 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 So where do those go? The ones on the right replace the stamped braces near the front subframe/door. The ones on the left are almost like sway bar reinforcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
