No problems with the lug nuts. Use a hand wrench and socket instead of an air gun. I have forged aluminum rims and I torque mine to 90 lbs. The factory torque setting is for the stock steel lugs; don't use that setting or you'll strip the threads on the aluminum lugs.

I race mine on the track with no problems.

CONGRATS ON COTW! I have always been a fan of that color blue. Im surprised I dont see more around where I live. Car is coming along great. Spoiler gives the Camaro such a more agressive look. Wheels are hot. Id personally love to see hash marks or the bumblebee stripes on it. Everyone has the stock rally stripes, including myself.(not for long) Can't wait to see what this car will look like a year from now.

edz10ss · 05-30-2011, 02:38 PM

Get rid of your windshield washer container and change the front seats out and maybe another 25 - 35 lbs.

Great read!!!!
