Hi there,
Had an FD come over with PIAA racing Terno alloys, complete with lock in wheel nuts. very nice except the adapter is missing. Have searched her inside out and checked with Japan office, but no luck..
The pattern is very unique (will try to get a pic posted)
Will contact PIAA, but can anyone recommend a company / place where i could have the lock in wheel nuts removed ?
Cheers Ben
I should think most wheel/tyre places have had to drill bolts off before, just make sure you\'ve got some replacements ready;)
Had this problem with my son\'s 106 rather than pay a garage I bashed on a slightly undersized socket - worked a treat. May have ruined a socket - but cheaper than a garage:)
Thanks for the advise guys, much appreciated !!
She\'s off to a specialist tomorrow for the wheels..
Tim- i think i remember you telling me ages ago that your in St. Albans ???
Haven\'t bumped into you & your nice new FD yet !
I am indeed! I haven\'t seen another FD, well any rx-7 infact, on the road in the last 2+ months apart from when i picked mine up.
Really i\'m in St. Albans and Harpenden quite alot on test drives, pimpin\'...
Have to agree that FD\'s and Japanese performance cars in general are a rare sight. Quite sad to see so so many Boxters, SLK\'s, and other hair dresser cars..
Sure i\'ll bump into you soon ;)
There should be quite a few of you guys in that neck of the woods. Maybe there shy:confused:
I have another rx7 owner about 1/4 mile from me.:D
Just picked this thread up
Ben I got a locking wheel nut removal set, removes any pertruding wheel nuts (not inner ones) if you hadn\'t had any joy lemme know, ya welcome to borrow it
hmmmm, guess what his part time job is...
Also happens to have half a tennis ball, a wire coat hanger and a chopped ruler in his pocket at all times.
Has someone been watching "Gone in 60 seconds" too much??? (I get all funny when angelina jolie says "Hello Ladies"... Don\'t know why)
SLANDER... and after all the love and support I gave you *sob*
nah didn\'t get any locking nuts with mine so had to get them off somehow without damaging the wheels when I changed the tyres
I still love you, don\'t worry, and besides, that dark criminal dangerous edge just adds to the alure...
Anyway, slander is when you say stuff that\'s untrue (Like, if someone says "Rich\'s hair looks really nice", they can be sued for slander). You meant libel - when you write stuff that\'s untrue (Like, if you wrote on Clives car "The owner of this car hates yellow, and is of sound mind", that would be libelous)
no slander was correct, you see when I read comments on the forum I imagine what the people who wrote them sound like therefore in my head I am hearing oral communication
I don\'t like being wrong :(
