Rep Power: 318

hey! anyone happen to have a torque wrench that they'd be willing to bring along to SLO? I have a neuspeed strut bar, and lower x brace, but am hesitant to putting them on , as I don't know when I would be able to torque them down tight! i don't want to buy one from kragen or elsewhere, as i don't need one THAT bad, seeing how i don't have any clue as to when i would use it after this! (and dont' suggest buying one, and then returning it!!!)

any help? know of any chain rent-places?

IM me!

are you gonna try to install the strut bar and xbrace while at the meet? if so, you can borrow my torque wrench while at the SLO meet. i carry it in my hatch all the time. just look for a fat white guy in a blue EP dropped on gold 17s, HFP lip kit, CF hood, CF spoiler, and CTR taillights.

picked it up from harbor freight for $10. best $10 ive spent in a while. u should invest in one

yeah for the strut bar just tighten with a rachet until it cant go anymore. Then drive around for a bit and re-tighten.

ok, ok, ok. thanks for the help. i'll probably follow teambeechstreet's plan, since Harbor Freight is somewhat close to me. i've been told of the place, but just haven't remembered the name long enough to go out there.

if you need a torque wrench to install an x-brace then tell me why I got my stock torqued on bolts out with just one quick turn they came loose.


Also, the x-brace they say is for our cars, is really ment for an rsx/civic SI, but it fits just the same. You'll find the exhaust rattles and you'll want to kill yourself cause its annoying. I say sell the x-brace, get a front sway bar, and check out other companys front lower strut bars.
