  • Got the Skinnies on..

    And they are bad a**. Anyway, James, I torqued the lugs to 80 ft. lbs. Is that correct? I read that they have to be re-tightened after about 25 miles or so..
    Tomorrow I'll clean him up and start getting him ready for Englishtown on Saturday [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] Hope to see a bunch of you guys down there!

    100ftlbs is the normal torque spec for normal wheels on our cars, I wouldnt torque them below 105 myself though!

    Alloy wheels shouldnt go past 110 or below 95.

            Shirl, you using spacers at all on the front?

            I use spacers but I don't think I need them.

              i did, there is no link for her timeslip. just numbers. no actual scanned timeslip.

              im not trying to start sh*t, just wanna see what she ran. also what shot she was running.

              im wondering why her car only ran a 12.9 with forced induction PLUS n20. I would think the car would get better times.

                I would think so too.. could it be the weight? I do have a fully loaded RS that weighs around 3400lbs. The MPH is good though. Keep in mind, that was only my 4th run with nitrous with street tires juicing about 40ft outta the hole. Anyway, I do have the spacers on the lugs Keith. So, should I torque them more or keep em' at 80ft lbs.? What you do you think? (thanks). Bob, can't wait to meet up with you guys there.. What time are you going??

                      Shirl, i'll try to be there at 8:30AM. gates open at 9AM. i hate waiting in long lines.

                      that's one of the things i love about your car. you ran a high 12-sec pass with it fully loaded (gfx, leather seats and everything but the spare 'coz of the bottle). not to mention the 2-piece DS. [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]
