Repost! Jeez man, you need to catch up on this sort of thing

 

lol thats real old but yes very epic how stupid does he feel

 

What a ******* dumbass, never forget to torque your wheels! Its better to over than under if you don't have a torque wrench but jesus Mazda only torques to 80 ft lbs anyway.

 

yea..i dont think that was a lugnut torque issue....

 

I think I member reading that he was sold SAE thread lug nuts that were close enough to get minor thread engagement.

 

over torquing would be worse to a point, if you stretch the stud they will snap!

 

He got the wrong nuts, wasn't a torque issue.

I thought the guy changed wheels before he went out on course and just finger tightened them and forgot to tighten them.
Regardless,it just teaches you to Check/Double check everything.
I am so "glad" it happened to him in a Safe environment..Out on the road it could have been Catastrophic.

 

It was wrong nuts - old stuff, but the SAE vs metric threads was the issue, not failing to tighten them.

 

omg bwek, thanks for the time machine you created, can I use it to buy some stock?

 

hahahah I actually lol'd
