Guys , i just got my 5 speed, and im switching all my mods from my auto. i just need to know how tight i am supposed to torque the bolts in on the strut assembly. i cant really remember , and i dont want to snap the bolt, and i dont want my car to fall appart , so i figured i would ask people that know ... thanks .

 

..lower 2 are 120ft-lbs, and top 3 are 40 ft-lbs.

:grabblue:

 

thank you very much

 

no more red? you still owe me a pic, anyway read over the faq a dozen times, its very helpful

 

ill get the pics before i strip it down this weekend.

 

yay! i plan on updating my site soon

 

u got those air compressor tools?

 

no , i wish i did ,,, i just have a torque wrench , and im gonna see if i can get the car up on a lift at the audi/porsche/vw dealer around here , my friend works there

 

dam your car is hot, man...i got a lot to do but I'm gonna get mine up there soon....



this pic is old, didn't have 18 chrome yet but still nothing compared to yours

 

Im stupid. Could you please explain what that is. I get my FSTB in tomorrow and I would like to install it myself, but I don't know what to do......oh wait, ill go to maximadriver.com

 

thank you try serving your pics off another host, they arent coming in

 

if you like that , wait till you see mine

p.s. What size are the bolts ? arent they 14mm on the bottom ?

 

sounds familiar, i didnt remember numbers, just test fit with a handful of sockets

 

Thats the plan ... I still havent taken the green to inspection yet, i took my red one to inspection before i lowered it, should having my car lowered be a problem with inspection ? i dont see how it should.

 

dunno, havent inspected my since i did it, though i dont think it will be a problem as long as they dont scrape it on something
