What did you do today to your 3/S?

word to the wise installing the front addco bar.. The mounting brackets are slotted enough to get the bar installed in a position where a socket won't fit the top bolt. If I had to do it again I would place a socket with some tape inside on the top bolt when installing it to be sure I can tighten it.

I had everything snugged up, but came back and couldn't finish tightening the top bolt on one side. I had to remove both end links and pry the bar down to get to it. Fits good though on the stock end links. Couldn't really run a larger bar and have it fit with the stock mounts. Would be better if they included allen headed bolts, but I re-used the stock ones.

i woudn't even put money on that being the case. i haven't heard stories about leaking d2's--regardless of platform.

I was doing some searching on the subject last night, and D2 definitely have/had the same leaking issues. D2 is the main company and makes KSport.

Ha! Word for word the same situation I'm in with mine... But I got them from TRILIGHT, who died in a car wreck just a few months later, so I'll probably hang on to mine longer than I should.

The old Saner front sway bar is the same way. Last weekend I couldn't get a socket or wrench on the top bolt so I ended up taking out the bottom bolts, prying open the bracket, sliding the sway bar out, prying the bracket back up against the subframe, and then putting a socket on the top bolts. I'll reshape the brackets but won't install it on the Stealth until I know whether the Addco rear clears a CFDS and the axles when lowered. I don't see there being too much clearance but I don't want to run just one bar in the front.

... added a quick-connect to my battery connection today for easy plug-in charging. Been meaning to do that forever. Also checked parasitic draw, which shows 31mA. Better than I thought I'd see. Oh, took some pictures too.

fixed it and drove it hard

Did a nice launch, pulled hard till the top of third, let out of it, and smelled a very strange smell almost like something burning but not exactly.(Very potent smell similar to like moldy hay or something) Pulled over checked under the car, under the hood, and inside to no avail. Got back in and no smell.
So i figure i had passed something... forgot about it. Got to the top of my hill on the road to my house and i smell it again.... same thing can't pinpoint it, and it goes away fast, and only does this under a hard load. WTF?

Clutch

Ive only got like 2500 miles on the current stage 3. And it doesn't really smell like clutch. I thought of that first cause the launch lol. Idk it could be though. But i had the tranny out less than 300 miles ago to install the quaiffe, and everything looked tip top on the clutch.
