when you find out how to get to the rear struts tell me. If you can take the panels off of the trunk to sound deaden, then I don't think it should be that hard. hey you have any picture of the trunk when you and will did both of yall trunks? I was test fitting my new corner box and figured it was easy to get the panels off and maybe save some money and do it myself. how do you get the doors off?

Think of it like this because this is how I understood it. If you had 100 doors to choose... and only one door had a car. You have a 1% chance of winning. If he eliminates 98 doors that don't have the car and leaves you with the one you chose, and one that could be the car... what would you choose then?

I dunno about you guys, but I know I have no chance of getting the right door out of 100

Pretty cool class though. If there are more than 25 people in one place, there is a 90% chance that someone will have the same birthday.
Only prob with that is when u take away the door u are changing the variables and basically a whole new equation.

In a sense, it SEEMS that way. But the reality is, you're still choosing one door out of a hundred which aren't the greatest odds to begin with. Therefore if he takes out 98 of the other doors, there is almost an absolute guarantee that the door he doesn't take out is the car.

but in the first example he is taking away half of the remaining doors. in the second, he is eliminating almost all the wrong ones.

Yes but what you have to understand is... as the number of doors gets higher, the more obvious it is that if you switch, you will win.

With three doors, its only 67% which is still pretty close to 50%

adjust it before you install it. I don't think there is a hole under the paneling to get to the ****. You would probably have to unbolt the assembly and pull it to adjust. I remember seeing pictures of someone installing the edfc and they had to drill a hole to run the wire for it. I'll try to find it.

maybe im just thinking about it in a really surface way, but arent you changing 2 variables? if you increase the number of doors, shouldnt the guy still remove the same percentage of doors from the remaining selection? wow im going to fail the next isds.

Nope, at the end you only leave two doors.

ISDS is easy

Have you taken any?

I took a little part of the left side panel off the strut bar and there was only one little hole to see the adjustable ****. I was wondering how other people had adjust their damping after it was put on.
