Fitz are you gonna make a build thread on s197 for said new car? Cause I wanna see what you do with it.

Also, I ****ing called it.
 
Ouch! That's no bueno. I am always worried about that.
 
Sheered off strut mount stud installing my strut tower brace....fml Jeremy with Airlift hooked me up yet again though!
I've been driving with only 3 nuts on my strut mounts for about a month waiting for a good deal on some CC plates since they usually come up on s197 every other day...

Ya know, until you need them, and then they're not around. Shoulda sold something to get those HD plates from you months ago! FML.

I don't *need* anything for my car. I just browse the classifieds till something in my future build list pops up, and then i jump on it. I'd have gotten the cc plates when i found the desired mfg.

Lol I still have them. I'm waiting for silverrider to respond about buying all my stuff.
 
Well hey, if Silverrider can't get approval I'm ready. Not trying to step on anyone's toes though since I already gave them up once so just let me know.

Don't you have it all laying around, why aren't you installing everything?
No, I have the headers, not the mid pipe. Why do I not you ask? Because I am really close to getting a skydiving rig so I can stop renting them. But mark my words, by the end of summer they will be on there. With hot rods :lol
 
What strut mounts? I've got a set of GT500s going on my car soon and I've heard of them breaking, and seen a few break recently. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me.
Honestly, it was a bonehead move on my part and I should have known better. The torque specs for the strut bolts is something silly like 65 ft/lbs which is NOTHING with a 1/2 inch wrench.

Just check the torque specs and use a torque wrench and don't get too excited with them. I find it so odd that all the other bolts are like 473 ft/lbs but those are a fairy's fart away from shearing right off. Thanks for that one, Ford. They'll never FEEL completely tight, but if the torque wrench says it is, leave that **** alone.

It's on my strut mount on my airbags
Can you just replace the bolt on those or do you have to replace the whole thing?
