were you driving around on two wheel bolts red? you homo! |
i think alex left wheels the way they were, cowboy fag fo sho
|
I was hoping the wheels would fall off, and he'd crash and die, then i could go scavenge the wheels from the wreckage and use them on my car :D
on a serious note, i do wheel bolts up VERY tight, much tighter than torque wrench recommends, and always make sure people are happy with how tight wheel bolts are before they leave, cos almost anything else can fall apart and you can recover, but if a wheel falls off you're fucked :S |
cowboy alex yeeehhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa
on serious note, alex is a fag on a more serious note, if i take wheels off when putting them on i go around the car twice at least checking all, and again i do them as tight as i can, which is tight when you see my guns. pow pow |

Hope you guys know you shouldn't over tighten the wheel nuts, if you have guns like the above, you will crack the wheels ;)
Very strange for wheel nuts to just fall off.... but i've been in a land rover, which went around a roundabout and with a bang, we stopped to see one of our wheels roll down the road.... luckly the old rover managed to keep rolling on 3 wheels lol! |
looking good at FCS mate :y:
|
I did used to use the torque wrench but then it got broken in rain damage from my shed roof fucking up :(
I am 100% sure i won't have left the wheel bolts too loose, i'm sure red must have had the wheel off, for cleaning arches and underside of car i guess?! Cos i've worked on 50+ peoples cars, probably taking other peoples wheels off over 200 times. i used to work on my vts on a weekly basis and must have had the wheels off several hundred times seeing as i had it for 4 years, and had them off several times per weekend sometimes for various jobs. And never once has anyone complained about loose wheel bolts, it's the one thing that i don't like about working on other peoples cars, is that if anything goes wrong you can't tell who's to blame, and i always make sure people are happy with how tight their wheel bolts are. I'm disappointed that red has named me as the last person to touch them, as i'm sure i wasn't. That is all. |
you go on track with two wheel bolts?
it doesnt matter who was last to do them, its upto the driver to make sure everything is ok glad you survived red and your clutch when you reverse park into a bay you noisy fucker :P |

Jokes. As said everything is the drivers responsibility tbh. Wheels havnt been touched apart from cleaning whilst still on since Ferodo's went on but im not blaiming anyone man and everyone should know how much of a meticulous whore Alex is lol :p On a serious note. i've never doubted your work mate and still need to catch up over a BBQ and a few beers before the Ring. Really appreciate all the shit you've sorted on mine :beer: Only the front left wheel bolts were loose which is weird. Everything was double or triple-checked before leaving for the hotel so i dont have the foggiest tbh just glad everything and everyone was ok! Quote:
Lost a wheel nut around wellingbrough somewhere tho :err: Got to the hotel and sorted the wheel then went for a gentle drive to test everything and make sure the car would make it to the show, unlike poor Alex-VTS's shed :sad: Checked everything again early doors before we set off then again at the show and before the track sesh. Tbh i didnt think id make it on but glad everything was ok and the car ran well :) Cheers Jay lol, few clutches and driveshafts took a battering there from people lol. -Not as much of a battering as Amiee tbh... :p |
