B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Spacers are getting here pretty fast too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I like. Wheel spacers are here too. Just need hubcentric rings . Forgot to order some so might have to get some cheap plastic ones from Bob Jane for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Got my spacers. So I got to work putting the wheel studs in. Studs are shit and the knurl is shit so I am having to file them down slightly so they will press in. Got sick of doing it with a file so I got a mini bench grinder from Aldi. Managed to pull 4 studs through then went to fit the wheel and my nuts bottomed out. ʞ©$ɟ. So I either need to nip a bit off the studs or cut the tops off the nuts so they are open.

Taz_Rx Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 What pitch are the studs? I've got a brand new set of these in 1.25... http://www.rotaaustralia.com.au/neo-chrome--petrol-gt50-extended-wheel-nuts-set-of-20_p23280298.htm They've got open ends so can't bottom out. They're $100 new but I'd do them for half that if you're interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 1.5, plus the SSR's need a special sized shank. Took me ages just to find the nuts I have. Cheers for the offer though, :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 A but of oil on the knurl when pressing makes a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I greased them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Did the passenger side front, gave them a ice bath in the freezer for an hour. Cleaned the holes out with WD40 and oiled them up a tad and they went in piss easy with a freshly charged rattle gun battery. The rears are another story, the bolts are too long to slip in. I can remove the dust cover, rotate it and get to the at this lower point though. But the dust cover is held on by bloody torx head bolts and I don't have torx tools. First time Ive come across them on a Toyota. So Ill put them off for now. Oh and my lock nuts are now open ended ;) I'm gonna buy another 3 sets of Speco ones.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Went to Downshift. Was pretty shit, lots of cars but there were 20 stock cars for every decently modified one. Get a few pics of my stocker ;) This rotang KE20 And this baller KE30 This BMW was by far my highlight though. Made my nether regions twitch.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 No idea sorry. I'd assume a rotary though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I did think that to start but I don't know how you'd have any room for an intake manifold with that turbo position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
