Default Big Install Weekend

I had a long weekend due to Presidents day, and I took advantage of it by installing a few things:

Clear Corners (Installed WITHOUT removing the front wheels):





Neuspeed 19mm Rear Sway Bar:






Blue Flame Exhaust:





I also installed an Infinity Basslink II, which I have not taken pictures of yet. I highly recommend this for roadster owners who want great bass response for the stock system.I also replaced the Cabin filter, which was REALLY dirty.

I also tried replacing the front brake pads, but for the life of me I could not remove the front wheel lugnuts. I weigh 180 pounds and my weight plus a breaker bar Icould not even budge them, even after I let WD-40 soak in for an hour. I am going to have to take it to a shop to get them to loosen the lugnuts.

I am getting my TT Dyno'd this week now that I have my exhaust on. I have the Unitronics 1+ as well, so I am looking forward to seeing the results.

Check my Fotki for Install Pictures!

Very nice...that is a very productive use of time. Good luck. I'm dying to bolt on a Blueflame, but need to pony up some cash first.

The easiest way to remove stuck bolts is with the stock lug wrench and a 8ft pole

I can't get my lugnutz off either (that sounds dirty). I tried everything... I wish I had the air gun to zip them right off. Someone said they are supposed to be torqued to 80 inch pounds?? THat's not a lot and I should be able to get them off by myself, but i guess i'll just have to put antiseize on them once i do get them off.

think you mean ft lbs. If you put them on 80 in lbs, they would most like come off and the wheel shortly after. The problem is that many shops install them with airguns and dont give a crap about the tq. This saves them from the issue of the whell coming loose and screws you if you get a blow out and cant change the tire. Always break free the lugs and retighten them with the lug wrench tight by hand. Then you can always get them off and they wont come loose.

yes ft lbs... My tires just came in today. I bought the Nitto Neo Gen ZR 225/17/45 for my front tires (damn potholes in IL put a tumor in the sidewall of one of the front tires). So i'll get them installed tomorrow or thursday. I'll let you guys know how they are.
