well let me know. I certainly dont need a third set of wheels


i think I shall. Need to make some stupid new numbers

 

am I insane for passing up a whole day of binge drinking with friends just to work on my car sat?! eek

 

I bought one a few years ago. My dad took it to work and had it validated. Across the range it was never more than 2 or 3 ft-lbs off. Not bad for $10. Of course, I could have been lucky... their QC might be horrible and the next one off by 15 ft-lbs!



BTW, anyone want a pair of 245/45/17 Kumho V710's or a pair of 365/35/18 V700's (V70A)? Got both waiting for a good home. The V710's are like new (used to be on the back of my sentra). The V70A's were track tires from the previous car owner.

 

Carson is still upset about snapping the stud on his spacer, and will be buying the t wrench to avoid anymore hulk-like snapping of studs

 

 

how hard do you torque your wheels on, carosn?

like 500 ft lbs like a dealership?

 

this is what it looked like when he was tightening his lug nuts

 

I'll take the 365s.

 

that might be your funniest post ever

 

I herd harbor freight is having their sidewalk sale this week, might pick up a new roll cart for the shop

 

interesting i'll have to ask my buddy who works there for more info.



Anyone have the latest good rockauto discount? I know a few of you are frequent shoppers.
thanks

 

Dude I do that **** all the time and come up with stupid bs excuses. I enjoy being alone and installing mods sometimes
.
I think last time I had your car they were too loose before I did the calipers.
I get them snug then give a good solid shove using my upper body. You never want to stand on them to tighten unless you have a very short wrench and no leverage. I had to cut 2 lug nuts off in the past from over torquing. If you think a broken stud sucks imagine cutting off a lug nut that's recessed into the wheel without damaging it. My tigers blood guided me through that one.

I would take just the wheels if he wants the tires

 

i'll take the valve stems.
