    Ok, first, it's a repost

    2nd, a guy who is driving a stock bodied FD AT A RACE is NOT a ricer(with a 99 spec swap too), so you picked the version of that vid with the most misleading title

    3rd, the lugnuts were tightened, but the guy's racing wheels used a special tapered lug set that the guy had never used before, and he bought the wrong thread pitch, so when he tightened them down, it felt good because the threads were close enough to allow the nuts down onto the studs, and feel tight by hand, but when the wight of the car was factored in, it instantly stripped all 20 studs on every hub, and even snapped a few straight off.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    3rd- no one cares about your VAST knowlage of lug nuts

    Hard to say nobody cares when the post right before yours was somebody commenting "Thanks for clearing it up". And if we're going to go back and fourth with this list of three things because you decided to mock me like a douche:

    1st, it's called search, use it. Also have you been living in a cave? This has been all over car forums for the past 2 years.

    2nd, did the SHITTY quality of that one seriosuly not make you think you had a chance to find a better one?

    3rd, it's not a vast knowledge of lug nuts, it's me driving an Rx-7 and being on a forum full of people who know the driver.
