I know because I am estalking you.

I loooooove their bread and their turkey bacon thinger melts are amazing. I don't go very often cause it's a hike for me.

I have the same disease.. don'tcheckmycalendareverydayitus. It often manifests in me arriving to where I am eating lunch at 12:45 and as I am pulling in the reminder alerts and I have to leave and go to some awful meeting hungry.

And I also can't stand chewing noises.. ask marina. It's like my biggest pet peeve. I'll run away from nearly anyone making gurgly ass chewing noises.

glad you enjoyed your lunch!

there was a lot of that post that made me laugh. dontcheckmycalendareverydayitus gets me every time. unless its something i care enough about to write on my desk calendar.

i forgot i told you about where i work. i didnt know you knew someone that works here though... maybe i did. i also forgot until about an hour ago that Marina used to work down the street and around the corner from here.

btw, starting that post with "most awesomest" and ending it with "gurgly ass chewing noises" was prob the most awesomest thing ever.

Hope you have an impact gun... I recommend the harbor freight earthquake 1/2". Man that thing is a dream come true.

You can adjust them but lugs are still something I would do by hand and finish with a TQ wrench. Only like 3 extra minutes a wheel anyway.

I'm only ever used an impact gun to put something on maybe 1 or 2 times, I think it as for a chain/sprocket change in the bike. They do work great for removing bolts though.

For lugs I use the impact gun on middle setting to remove, and on lowest setting to install. On the lowest setting the gun will torque to around 60 ft lbs. Then I drop and finish up with a proper torque wrench. I'm usually pretty careful on the install because if the wheel is uncentered at all it will eventually loosen up and fall off. Best to check the lugs after 20 miles or so.

bmwtorq.pdf (google it) makes me totally horny. It's the torque specifications for pretty much every bolt on every bmw model. God I love specifications.

jpalamar · 11-18-2010, 05:06 PM

Anyone deal with having their stock wheels widened? I'm looking to have some spare wheels widened so I can have some really sleeper wide wheels. Hoping to do before spring. I found Weldcraft but their website was very generic and said to take pics of the wheels/ect to have estimates. I don't need anything exact, just ball park so I can decide if its even worht it.
