Wondering if anyone locally (Hartford, CT area) has a torque wrench I can borrow for a day (hoping for Thurs. 14th to paint)? Payment in beer? I'd like to paint my calipers. Thanks

 

JS, dont you have the stock wrench that came with the car? Or are you missing it from your car?
I used my stock wrench to take my wheels off and paint my calipers. If you need to use mine, i can let you borrow it.
Tip: Take your time painting them, and dont drive the car for a day or so just to be safe and to be certain they are dry.

 

Maybe because the proper way to install the wheels is to torque the lugs down to 80 lbs and then re-check them a few days later

 

ahh, yes. (Nevermind! I thought he meant the stock wrench) But thats when i stop by my local mech to have him torque them down to spec by hand, not with the air gun

 

Hey man, what color are you painting your calipers. If you are painting them red, I will stop by let you use mine and all I am asking is to steal a few drops of the paint to touch up my caliper.

Oh, Thursday? Nevermind.

 

Umm yes, I have the stock wrench, ya I guess I'll just swing by my mechanic so he can torque them down.
red with S2000 decal for the fronts.

 

Dude,

Come to the tech day and do your calipers there. I will bring my torque wrench.

 

I would, but do to prior commitments if I were to attend I would only get there around 5ish.

 

Good choice. Thats what i went with, and my buddy here did the "S2000" decals for the fronts.
If you dont already have the caliper decals, let me know as i can probably get them from him as i may see him this weekend

 

I have 3/8" drive and 1/2" drive torque wrenches. I'm not sure the 3/8" goes up to 80, but it might. I'll check. The 1/2" definitely does. I'm in Cromwell. You can borrow either or both but you'll have to come get them.
