Rig it to work put the flshy cap on and call it a day. too much work.

I had the same thing happen to me this weekend on my manifold studs.

Screw GM for making week studs and not having any in stock ever.
Weak studs? Tell me how not one.....but TWO of my wheel studs managed to break last summer. Well, first one broke.......and I continued to drive around on just 4 studs (yeah I know, dumb, but its my only car/daily driver so I did what I had to do), which in turn made another one break from un-even force distribution. Anywho, brought it into the dealership and the ******* void my warranty for "numerous reasons" and contiune to tell me the broke wheel studs are from my aftermarket 19"s and my slotted rotors.

lol it's a bitch to hide things aaint it.. my mom knows about some of my mods .. she doesn't know about the project i'm piecing together now though i have one of my friends that has a 0% interest credit card.. lol which is awesome.. lol she orderes everything for me and gets it delivered to her place and i pay her back lol..

once i get my new project all set i'm hoping ot be moved out.. cuz it's gonna be a bitch trying to put on a procharger when she goes out one day lol.. but i do all my own work as long as i have the tools.. it also helps that my friends brother and father have just about every tool known to man lol

But yeah, my rents didnt care about my hobby. Hell, my dad even helped me fab up seat brackets for the racing seats I had in it. I was always getting a big ass box from UPS like every week.....always had parts pouring in for my RX-7. I worked full time in highschool at Subway making $9.25 an hour..........and at the time all I paid was car insurance and my cell phone (well after I paid for the RX-7). Kinda miss that car.
u had an rx-7 how ****** bad ass!!!
