I'll definitely make note of your tips. Anything to make things go smoothly. Thanks!

If you don't have anything that height... try using gardening pads. I had about 3 laid out and some towels on the skirt part

Madwi has a good point too! lol I found it wasn't so much the side that hurt me it was the damn seat thigh supporting thingie jabbing my back that caused the most discomfort.

I would also suggest wearing long sleves. I got rug burn on my elbow pretty good. I also used a strap on light on my head.

I opted to leave the seat in. It wasn't too bad getting under there, and would have been fine if you could just do everything in one shot. It was the in/out in/out in/out from the awkward position that really sucked.

That and RJM must have a lot of sharp edges cause I sliced the heck out of my right hand lol

Reminds me I need to adjust it again today. Still trying to nail down exactly where I want it.

Kzonts · 08-19-2016, 10:37 AM

I left mine with the default setting but raised the pedal to the max. My wife and I both drive the car and I'm a good 10 inches taller. She drives with the seat all the way forward :-)

I put my afp to 50. Initially set the pedal height to the lowest setting and let's say I was in awkward position. Put it to max and it's about aligned with the brake pedal and it's perfect!

My feminine fingers were sore from prying out th3 stoppers lol

That's strange. When I tried the pedal at max that way it was Wy above the brake pedal. I'm probably sitting around 3/4 of max right now, and going to adjust it closer to 1/2 to see how I like it, which should be about flush with the brake pedal.

My AFP currently at 90 but going to try that closer to 50/60 as well.

I used needle nose pliers for the stoppers

So sitting in traffic last night for about 30 min, going from 0-15mph. Got on the highway and Z would not move any faster. Tried switching gears and still nothing. Then I remembered limp mode. Pulled over, turned her off for one minute and then back on. Everything was ok afterwards. I was scared. Temp only went up to 220.

I'm afraid to dumb it down to your level because I'm afraid of heights.

well to be honest... I gotta double check. I'm pretty sure it was max height.

I did have needle nose pliers but the thing was a hard rubber and being a PITA. I literally had to put it down a few times. I found getting the pedal cover on without any warm soapy water easier than getting those fk'ers out!
