Wheel nut torque

[shimmy]

Most of the lads on here inc myself, never give the wheel bolts time to seize, they are on/off more times than a whores draws. :thumbs:

I hate to think how many times my rims have been on and off and APs cracked open and pads swapped in the last 4/5 years :whistle:

Surprised you have not got a graph with it on:gayfight:

Ford and rust are like 2 peas in a pod though:hahaha:

To be fair, you must be a twat to snap a wheel bolt when tightening it up. Most common snapped bolts we see are cheap nasty locking bolts that people buy

Hahaha get what your saying, Wheels were changed from the ones with Cups to the ones with PS2's 2 weeks ago due to the snow coming back. Will be removed again next weekend to replace the broken rear spring in prep for Snett the following weekend where hopefully they will need swapped over again.
:bigcry: :hahaha:

Shimmy you will be pleased to know I will only be running 1.4 bar boost at snett, approx 400bhp, which I felt was what my csl was equal to in evo land.

Having a long chat with my mapper and we are going to play it safe for a couple of trackdays, then turn up the boost.

So theoretically we should have a good battle.:beer:

[QUOTE=shimmy;n515865]i use 120Nm for road and track. Tighten on track after your first outing and maybe check again at lunchtime BUT i have never had a nut come loose EXCEPT just after wheel refurbs when if they painted on any touching surfaces the nuts will slacken off[/quote]

<gulp> didnt know this mate - how long after painting does this kind of thing stop happening :smt107

I'll be coming in every fookin lap at Snett to check......:hahaha:

My charitable side obviously shows on the forum then :hahaha:

No it should be a close battle tbh, the evo is a heavy beast.

Depends if they paint the wheel in the place it faces against the hub, a good repair should have no issues, however a bad repair can rear it's ugly head

The paint acts like a washer, heat transfer from the brakes to the wheel, the paint gets hot, starts to melt and hey presto washer has disappeared.
Wheel can then become loose

Just monitor, takes 1 min to check a few bolts
