  1. No yeah in order to replace the studs I had to take the adapter off and it was on snug in fact after I get the fender repaired, I may replace the bolts for the adaptor as well, they looked rough to me. So, when I see people running spacers, I sometimes hear people say how unsafe that is and I was wondering do people feel the same about wheel adaptors. I think Fastg was right and that two studs/nuts just failed. I also think it was likely my fault for not doing like my monthly or bi-monthly check. Just wanted to see if others had had any bad experience running wheel adaptors.
  2. Oh, to be clear I 100% blame myself for this. It had been months since I last checked the wheels for Torque. I am convinced either the nuts backed off or the studs/nuts just failed.
  3. Morning everyone, So, I recently had a moment. I was on my way home on the freeway doing about 70ish mph when my rear passenger wheel decided to yeet itself off into the unknown. It all happened so fast I couldn't believe it. Damaged fender, completely gutted wheel studs and a broken taillight. Honestly, I feel like I got off lucky could have been a lot worse. When I showed a friend of mine the photo of the aftermath, as soon as he saw my wheel adaptor he got triggered and basically said that it is the most unsafe thing ever. It is not something I am looking to change but I just wanted to see what everyone's general opinion is I feel like the idea behind the adaptor is both to clear the calipers and get the standard Seven bolt pattern.
  4. Damn what a legend! I have a 2021 I am still trying to get registered that has a little over 400miles on it. My hope is that in 10 years I am not one of the guys who is like "I only have 2000k on it!" I am hoping to have many, many miles. Any tips for reaching that milestone?
  5. I can tell you trying to get everything lined up on the 3 piece was pretty miserable, there is an order you want to do it in. The rest of it was pretty simple though, only had to make a slight modification to the resonator cover/guard.
  6. You know I have the same motor except one of my Pullys is in a different location. I told Tom I wanted the 2.5 a dry sump and left the rest up to him when I bilt the car. I haven't put mine on a dyno but I wouldn't have thought they are making anywhere near that without FI. Pretty awesome buddy!
  7. You can use Velcro to keep whatever from hitting the paint buddy (the soft side) that’s what I did lol.
  8. I don't have a photo on me, but I will take one when I get home. Does your car have one of those spots in the back bottom of the chassis where you would mount the spare tire? I had a friend at work fab me of like this T shaped bracket to mount mine and also the plate light I needed to pass brake light. Velcro could definitely work I actually use it on my rear license plate to keep if from touching the car.
  9. I remember the second seven I test drove was a 620s can’t remember the dealers name (kemper?) but it was up north here in CA. I only remember two things. One it was insane like insane speed, two shifting with my left made me super nervous. But holy shit the speed! congrats buddy.
  10. Man that takes me back. If I remember correctly the Manga/Anime is called "You're Under Arrest" and it is about two female cops. The one with the Ponytail is pretty good with working on cars and the other is kind of the muscle/tuff cop. You're Under Arrest (manga) - Wikipedia There was also one called "éX-Driver". If I remember correctly it is set in a world where cars are all electronically controlled or something, and a few people mostly criminals drive manual cars. So, they also have this group that hunts them down and one of them is a kid who drives a 7.
  11. If I can give you a little advice buddy the first thing, I would suggest is consider what you are going to do to protect the car. Look at clear wrap options in your area unless you think you will do it yourself it only takes 100yrds of crappy road to absolutely demolish paint =/
  12. A Stalker could almost certainly be faster with a LS in it. I want to say I saw a video of one hitting 160+mph and it looked like it was barely stretching its legs. If you pull up in a stalker or any modern 7 I feel like people will be wowed. But if you pull up in a Donkervoort I would want to know what you do for a living. Just my opinion.
  13. Damn! if I added up every car I have ever owned (or will for that matter) this would still be out of my price range. Beautifull though.
