Installed the custom rear mount STB from Scooter!
Guys, the rear mount STB is is installed on my car. I did notice what seems to be more stability when driving it. I like it quite a bit, and I am happy I bought it. I believe it is worth buying and installing on the SC!

Here is a pic for you. This is the manufacturer's personal one...I elected not to powdercoat mine as it will never be seen, and being aluminum, it will not corrode. What I love about this one is it is light weight, and very sturdy. He welded gussets into the corners of mine for even more rigidity.
Installed, notice it clears the EDFC?

Lol. Ryan's system is possibly different from yours, so he may have a different way to change out the alternator. If you haven't changed yours, then just stick with it until it's bad. But in the mean time, you can use the most powerful battery that you can get to keep enough charge and to provide the power to the electric stuffs. I'd say the battery should have a minimum of 900 amps.

Nice rear bar w/the added strengthening; what did you decide to do for rims? Thrown those 20" on there yet(?), I'd love to see them mounted w/your car on the ground. I think they'd look great compared to the 18"; though I do wonder if they'll clear the rear fenderwell lips if you haven't cut/bent them. More pic updates!

Sorry I haven't posted up in weeks. A little over 3 weeks ago, I hit a curb on a narrow sidewalk which leads to the Seminole Wekiva bike trail, and unfortunately, my 10 speed flipped, I went flying forward, and did not manage to get my left hand off the handlebar...my hand rolled forward under my wrist and caused my radius to snap in two about 1.5" below my wrist. The tip of my ulna also chipped and needless to say, I have not exactly been in the mood to work on my car or to even visit or post on the forums.
I had to have surgery as the fractured radius could not be stabilized enough with a splint or a cast to keep the reduction anywhere near 100% (meaning both bones anatomically joined correctly). We tried it, but within 4 days the bones had slipped apart by about 30% and that would not do, so, I had surgery about a week after the break, and I now have a titanium plate and screws in my left arm. The good news is I need no cast, only a removable splint, and I started rehab yesterday. It is amazing how stiff my hand, fingers and wrist got within just a few weeks.
Anyway, I planned to change out the alternator with Lextreme's high output one right after my bike ride on the day I broke my wrist, but that got postponed...I also planned to install the Kenne Bell Boost A Spark that day...although I am healing I still have 2 more weeks before the doctor will release me to drive, and I definitely am unable to wield a wrench right now. So I am paying a most excellent performance guru to finish it up for me. He needs another week or so before he can get on it. I am not driving anyway...
I will keep you updated on the progress as I get it done.
Here are a few pics of my arm:
In ER day of accident:
X-RAY of break:
Stitches about to be removed:
Case up of stitches:
After stitches removed, swelling is reducing...
