Ask me how I know. But JB Weld fixed it fine, except for the big brown/grey patch in the middle of the white tub.

The speculation from people that were actually there is wrong size/thread lug nuts .... which appeared to be tight ... well, at least for 5 seconds or so .... <http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/248698.aspx> Rex ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 18:07:36 -0400 From: Matt Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 911 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Ferrari List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, BMW List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Tire pressure? Check. Oil level? Check. Lug bolts? Hmmmm.... Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dennis, et al: (Rex Tener beat me to this on the BMW list) Get the info straight. The person was sold lug nuts that were either the wrong thread pitch and/or wrong size (SAE to Metric or vice versa). He put the lugs on and they felt torqued. When there was real power put to them, things went bad. This was the Dixie Region of SCCA's autocross. Here's a thread with actual eyewitnesses: http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/248754.aspx Sheese, Dennis, you *used* to be so reliable. :^) Matt Murray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Liu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Boy, note to self - really need to check that before starting the > autocross... > http://break.com/index/when-drifting-goes-bad.html > Vty, --Dennis ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(5 messages) **********
