ive been on the couch...

got all 4 wisdom taken out at lunch today. took the whole week off although i work next weekend since i had 2 weeks of vacation left. went fully under. no real issues except most of my mouth is still numb. on antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and hydrocodone for pain. so far ive had a pina colada smoothie, tomato soup and mashed potatoes with gravy. i spent all day watching anthony bourdain so im really missing solid food though. probably finish the night with some ben & jerrys half baked ice cream lol.

https://g35driver.com/forums/drag/30...-video-hd.html

Read the whole thread. These guys are calling ME the noob for saying that a 6MT g35 is faster than the 5AT.... (in general, not just because of that video)

I think they are trying to compare in real life scenario rather then paper specs.

This guys sums it up good. Its a Drivers race

how are you tightening them down? you could be going too tight and the wheel vibration is killing them. i highly recommend getting a torque wrench and tightening them to 80-85 ft lbs. i got mine at harbor freight for only about $15-20.

worst case, something on your wheel hub could be out of alignment causing uneven pressure on the lugs. but id start first with tightening them all down to the same spec first and going from there.

I could push my car up to Bostons from my house...lol. I was planning on hitting the gym afterwork but this would probably be a little more fun.
