Sorry about venting out but the postman just made my day and brought a notification that the package has arrived to the post office as secured letter!!!
I didn't believe it would arrive this week yet but wuhuuu!

I think we're gonna have a nice install moment today with Flat Eric !
Antti, if you don't have time, just ask Flat Eric to install it right now we just can't wait for your reaction

Ok ok....

You know, I wanted to install this mod myself with a help of Eric, but he thought it other way...

This was the sight when I opened the garage doors:


I hardly reached to find all the tools and he was already messing around in the car!


The install was quick. Just had to figure out where to mount the sprintbooster itself. I know it's dangerous to give Eric anything sharp but he was surprisingly handy with a box cutter and made a nice slot for the little block in the carpet. I started the car and no messages or anything. Cool.

Eric wanted immediately to try and see if there's any difference in response. Had some difficulties to reach the pedals though!


"OMG!"


Approval was instant!

Why do people install an item to their car to help them press the gas harder?
Looks like a big waste of money to me.
By applying this same reasoning, short-throw shifters are of no value either. The person should "just reach farther," right? Neither are shorter, lighter trigger pulls on a firearm. One should "just pull harder," correct?
