Keeps us updated. Nice to see an AutoX'er go thru the motions and still be kind enough to write about it. Time to start knocking on people's doors hehe

Wow, do you torque your wheel nuts to 80lbs? I wonder if that will be a common problem with all of our cars if we ever drive as hard as you do?

BlaineWasHere · 05-20-2013, 02:07 PM

I do 90lbs. I might have over tightened it but prob just cross threaded real bad. The studs aren't super weak, but I wouldn't call them strong either.

When in doubt, it's either Australia or New Zealand!

Give it a try though, I THINK you won't be disappointed? Haha

It was pretty good me and my gf order the coffee snowflake and the macaroon thing lol we liked the snowflake thing better with the condensed milk

Also, if you've been following my stud story, I scored 5 studs from the Subi dealer (WRX studs, but are the same) for $2.17 each and Toyota is selling them for $7!!!

Anyway, since I found the parts I should be able to get this fixed before next autoX on MONDAY!

That's a good deal. I wonder what else is cheaper at the subi dealer than getting it at Toyota?

I think all of the basic stuff is INCLUDING oil filters.

Not just basic stuff. My driver window was $200 less from Subi than Toyota. Hell, Toyota wanted 4 bucks for a damn crush washer for the oil drain. Lol

Good to know you guys enjoyed it!

. Oh yeah, definitely all the snowflake flavors taste way better with the condensed milk (everything is better free!).
