Thread: Tanks silver 04 GT2 (lots of pics)

i plasti dipped my winter wheels when it was pretty damn cold out. i kept the cans on the heater inside till ready to use, and took them back inside in between coats.

ive heard of the cans in a bucket of hot water trick before too.

I'm going to take it as you just wanted something to paint.

Haha yes you caught me

Yes, this coat is going on alot better. I turned in the garage heater and I put the cans on top of the space heater for a while and this coat is going on much butter

That looks better

Alright well I'm phucked. everything is on and I'm on the very last nut of the driver side rear tezo and the nut was putting up a fight and the key is now stripped...

What kind of lug nuts are they? Whats the key look like.

black thing is the key right? My moms car had something similar and i stripped them too. The lugnut isnt stripped also is it?

No.. Not from what I can see. Talked to the auto Zone guy and he said I need to break it... But i was talking to Kory and I can just get another one off ebay... I tightened done the other lugs as much as I could before the key completely went.

Couldn't you go to an autoparts store and get a allen socket to fit those? Or is it different

Carefully grind or file the flats until it's small enough to use the next smaller socket.

This. But I like the style of tuner lugs

Yup it's just a hex style so grab a Allen key or another hex socket from the local parts store.. That's one con about those styles of lugs they're easy to strip.

My bad. I thought it was the drive side that was jacked. Didn't realize it was the lug side. Moving on...

or do what I did and get out your socket set and size it, it may be different than mine.

Alright that makes sense... I will run to autozone tomorrow after practice and see if they have something for me.

Exactly... But like the look of them. And with the tenzo's the socket hole is pretty small so I don't think a normal sized socket will fit in there
