some people just shouldn't build cars!!! lol

actually i think he was trying to invent a new style of drifting. how far can you slide your car with no tires....

I think he pissed someone off. What are the chances of all 4 wheels comig off?

that isn't supposed to happen right? :up: Wow your right though some people should just stay away from cars.

thats funny,

It looks as if he ran his mouth at the wrong person. :w2:

hold on and i'll get you the link that tells the whole story. it's not like any of ya'll think. he's a local friend of mine.....

Here you go

Linky no worky :doh:

Worked for me, gotta push it harder

Link worked for me.

Dude got some crappy lugnuts. I would go after em for the repairs. :madd: :madd:

Seems like he should've known they weren't right when he put the tires on

i know i would..... i'll try to see what i can find out if they did something about it but i seriously doubt it since "they" the tire store didn't install them then it is the sole responsability of the end user not the supplier.....

wow I would be whooping some tire story punk behind. But didn't he notice they weren't right?

after watching the video, I was going to post


You mean you are not supposed to keep the trigger pulled on the 1/2" impact til the socket stops turning? LOL!!


THat sucks. Should have realized they were wrong while installing them.

the odd thing is he said they torqed down properly.

that seems like a pretty loose group on that board. LOL! i didn't read the whole thing but did he get the wrong thread pitch or the wrong style of nut? i was a victim of the wrong style of lug nut when i was in high school. i managed to keep all my wheels on....barely.... cost me some wheel studs though.

Racing in an import is like competing in the special olympics, even if you win your still a retard



Did I say that out loud?

Ya we are a close knitt group on there.... so ya we cut up alot..... i'm not exactly sure but one person noted and i have experienced this before.... a 1/2 X 20 (standard) thread is VERY close to a 12 X 1.5 (metric) the 1/2 x 20 will tighten up on a 12x1.5 stud but won't hold the side to side force that he exerted on the car during that solomn (sp) before the lugs came off......

makes sense. i ran into "similar" thread issues before with hardware. tell him that's a sufficient explanation and we're ok with him having tools now. lol

a rwd rx7 might be a import but it is one of the fastest non muscle class imports around.. and simplist to work on...its not like he was driving a honda..


i had that happen on my jeep once. but it was just one tire.. but my hub was still attached when it came off.. i blew my hub..lol

still sucks though..

I agree with you on the Mazdas, those Wankel (sp?)motors are a marvel of modern engineering. Theres a fella here in town that races them at the strip, runs 10's. Damned thing sounds like a pissed off chain saw, but its a rocket!

yeah i wouldn't screw with a twin turbo rx7. when the ran good, and were tuned there wasn't much that could touch them. the supras and 300zx's tore alot of new buttholes in their day too.
