The Story: In my ultimate newbieism I really really screwed up the threads on the top nut on the rear passenger side strut while installing my swift springs. Figured I might as well share my stupidity with tst. It'll have all 4 rota subzeros once I get another strut. Dealerships arent open today so she probably wont be running around till tuesday or wednesday.

I got the other three springs on no problem after Area 1320 spun the top nuts off with the air gun for me.

hi if those are 16x8 slipstreams you're gonna have to hand them over...

gary · 09-04-2006, 03:45 PM

HAHA its cool man it happens to everyone... atleast it wasn't a headbolt or a stuck sparkplug.

Honest_Bob · 09-04-2006, 05:36 PM

S4toSTI · 09-04-2006, 06:21 PM

Sucks but it doesn't sound like a hard fix.

**Ender81** · 09-05-2006, 08:36 AM

Bob you better have that thing back in action in time for the Tuesday night meet lol.

Honest_Bob · 09-05-2006, 01:19 PM

No chance, unless faulkner happens to have that strut in stock

04 Turbo Spec · 09-05-2006, 01:22 PM

way to go, i have a tap and die set so i can fix it for you

let me know

**Ender81** · 09-05-2006, 01:51 PM

What's the deal with the different sets of wheels? Here's to hoping Faulkner has it in stock btw

Honest_Bob · 09-05-2006, 05:01 PM

I cracked the stud, there is not fixing it. Wont have the parts till thursday at the earliest. I grabbed the gunmetal subzeros off a coworker in exchange for some stereo equipment. The tires are bald on them so I figure they would be good to drive on till I get an alignment done since I didnt realize how the camber bolts worked till after I took them off. Live and learn...
