I would borrow a helmet if you don't have time to properly test fit. A good fitting helmet is critical for safety and comfort. 200 is about right for a new lid.

[QUOTE=plokivos,Jan 31 2008, 09:25 AM] I actually tightened mine at 90, unless I get some idiot at discount tire or midas tightens my wheels without a torque wrench and without my spec, then I have to go up to 100 just to make sure.

I think 100 is like a standard.

100 is what standard?

you can break a stud by overtightening period, you can be using your torque wrench, a tire iron or by hand, overtightening break stud, regardless of method.

79lb never fail on me

that's funny, my bolts been torqued at 100 for all last year and this year and nothing's broken so far. That's including track days and auto-x days.

you know this for sure, because this happened to you, right? Because you've been through so much with your car. Because of your vast knowledge in all automobile, period.
