This is also how we remove frozen/rusted/stripped bolts/studs/nuts.

I got the ARP wheel studs and 949 lugs in last weekend.
These were such a PAIN IN THE ***! I bought a harbor freight 12 ton press to do the job and it was still a pain. I could never get the studs to go in perfectly straight, they were always slightly off enough to prevent the hub sliding through the rotor or wheel. It took all day to do the front hubs. And I said to myself this is one job that isn't worth my time so I'm probably not going to do the rear.
The thing is, I bet whichever shop I bring the hubs to are going to impact the studs in....
Anyways, here are those little bastards.

Here is the "BIG news" that I hinted at in a previous post. I couldn't hide it any longer.
Its a carbon NASCAR COT wing. The legeit one. It has FM stands and I think Singular end plates. Its super light and awesome. I also got an alumilite front splitter to balance out the front.
I can't wait for my next track day. I just need those brakes to get here so I can slap those on.

Yes, it is second hand. I got the wing and splitter from Ariel at SB Garage in south SF. Ariel is a super nice guy and his costumer service is top notch. Ive bought some other small things from him before so if you are in cali and need something quick order from SB. They usually have standard 2 day shipping. Or if you are local enough just go to the shop.
This was the setup on his car before he sold it to me.

OK, the brake stuff is pornography.

- Locktite ALLTHETHINGS that attach to the throttle body with threads. I'm not even joking.
- Take a pic of the accessory pack, specifically the IACV adapter, and post up.

Did it break tightening it? If so should be easy to remove. Easy out, or I even used superglue on a head bolt once.
If it broke trying to remove it....
Good luck...
