Say that to my face Lucas, I dare ya!


So are spacers made in 2mm or 4mm sizes so I can get the wheel to be a 40 or 38 offset (38 preferred).


You could have someone like motorsports-tech make you some 2 or 4 mm spacers... or just buy 5mm H&R ones. But... Gabe bought his stuff from Motorsports tech... so you probably don't want to go through them because Gabes car isn't your style.

Does any shop actually torque lug nuts by hand? I ask every time and I swear in just emboldens them to zip them on tighter with the impact gun.

I used to, but torque wrench is long out of calibration, however I do it all by hand. An impact would be nice, but I like feel of a tight lug through my wrench. (don't we all :lol:

Insert the word the throughout my sentence to understand my jibberish.

So... My car is running in limp mode since it was running too high of boost. I knew it was faster, and it actually was. I just went to the dealer, they cleared the codes.. They don't know if it's the BCS or some other boost sensor that's causing it. It spools super quick, and pulls hard for about 2 seconds, then cuts boost and goes into limp mode... No boost.. maybe 100 horsepower. It's terrible :(

Luckily, I've got a V70 to steal parts from, to see what's causing it.. At least now I have it narrowed down. Has this happened to anyone here?
