What have you done to your P5 today?

^p5 still on dealer warranty???

haha, when i say dealer, i mean carmax (thats where i got the car) and since i was tired of shelling out 800+ for the pontiac everytime something happened with the car, i decided to get the 24/24k warranty for an additional $5/month.. i mean hell, i don't come near to 24k in 2 years so im good and the car should be paid off by then anyway

The intake is finally here from dxave. Going to install it now

Still want to do a re-do of the spring cleaning on the car. More detailed this time, but that might have to wait until after finals... Maybe do all the planned mods after finals (2 weeks)

Gonna put my mazda3 wheels on. Just wondering what the lug nut torque specs are?

*edit
nvm found it. 65-86ft#

 

[ucMP3]

^I've never used a torque wrench on lug nuts. hmmm...

 

[xDJ DUBx]

me either, on anything actually. horrible I know lol.

 

[The ManLaw]

i usually go with 85. used to work at a pepboys and that was on the chart for recommended torques. and yes, everyone should be torquing their lugs! also i spray wd-40 everytime i take mine off. makes life that much easier and i never have to knock them to losen them.

 

[ucMP3]

^I'll go ahead and correct my prior statement...

I've never seen anyone use a torque wrench to tighten lug nuts, lol.

knock loose? pfft. you may not have seen me in person but i just muscle them off and do the same to put them on. a friend checked my "specs" and just by hand i got up to 175 on his truck

and by "hand" i mean with your typical cheap crossbar that you can get at walmart
