Having trouble finding longer wheel studs for my sc400, any ideas? Anyone.....

Having trouble finding longer wheel studs any ideas? Been to 3 tire shops and two auto parts store and nothing.. I can go to the dealer and get I think it is the newer LS400 studs but that will break the bank... Time to bust out the yellow pages and make a few calls...

Yep, those little circuits work great... I used one on the hydro pump plug and it tricked the ECU perfectly... Good pic's Zir......and deleting the EGR really does clean up the engine.. Man, I am going to have to remove my bling bling vacume lines:sorry:

STUD REMOVAL HOW TO - Xir- I know you were only trying to help and I really appreciate it but I must say that tool is garbage and you owe me $24!!!! (just kidding) I can return it....That stud remover will only work on "screw off" studs. The SC400 stock wheel studs are "groved" studs and not...

Are you sensitive to smell? How can you smell it when you are driving? The tailpipes are out the back, I just feel bad for the fellows behind you with the windows down:scared:

This conversation went way over my head 3 or 4 posts ago, you guys are too smart for me... However, there seems to be many ways to cool down the engine and gain power....

I will check that tool out tomarrow. I will give everyone the lowdown and more pic's...See ya...

Thanks for the uplifting words...and that is right "Failure is the mother of success". Brilliantly said..... I looked at the supra link, and read the brake link... These people, I don't know where they get there facts. Drilled and slotted rotors improve breaking and that is fact... They...

Thanks Zir, that looks like a crazy tool, I got a sears down the street I will take your advise. I can't visualise how that tool is going to work but I will take your word for it. Wow, THE STUD REMOVER, everyone needs one of these tools when at a bar trying to pic up girls...or else you may...

What is so dangerous about the brakes and rotor? David you are conviced these rotors should go, I tell you it will work and I just need longer studs, that is it. I think this brake setup will be safer then stock with the new longer studs. The braking is great the ride is smoothe and tight.. I...

Stevie, I have recently raced the Porsche turbo AWD, needless to say I lost the race immediately from the start, the take off was sick with that Porcshe just like the New Vette I raced a while back. Both have wicked takeoffs. Before I blinked I was already a car length behind the Porcshe while...

Oil light doesn't come on at all, and no problems what so ever to report after the loop. The loop is working perfectly and seems to work the same as it would with the EGR block... I was really praying for this to work, and it did I finally caught a break with these mods...

Thanks Steve, I hear what you are saying, and I bought those long lugs they did not work with my rims, but they did torque down hard without stripping and maybe thread catch is closer to 4 complete turns. Do you know the best way to remove those studs from the hub. Can they be hammered out or do...

Final post - I unpluged the hydro pump to disable it. However in doing so that inturn gave my ECU a bad read, I got a few idle stalls and when floored the oil light came on. I used a 10ohm circuit loop at the unplug point to correct the problem. I got this circuit from my EGR delete kit from...

Update unpluging the hydro pump caused the ECU to get bad reads, idle stalls and the oil light came on regularly when the car was hammered. I used the a looping 10ohm circuit loop at the unplug point to correct things. I used the circuit that was provided to me with my EGR block kit that I...

These next pic's that shows the brake line hookup and bleeding of the caliper...and the last pic shows that the wheel doesn't stick out.. I would say the job is a complete success...Time will tell.. I will post a final side shot of the car and brakes tomarrow...

That picture above shows me using the lug nuts to torque in the spacer to mesh tight with the rotor. Aluminum is a some what moldable material, like copper..When smashed into the rotor the little lip compresses at creates a tight fitting seal. This is simular to a compression washer used in...

Yet another update- First off everyone should take Lex's advise and get those little drilled rotor. I just like to sometimes do things the hard way. Anyhow the brakes are on and bled. I now have 1/16 of an inch rim to caliper clearance which is as close as it can get. I just drove it shortly...

I figured it out there is only two inlets on the plug and each side of cross over circiut goes into each inlet. I had to do the same for my hydro pump.. I will take a pic of what it looks like tomorrow and post before I cover it all up... Dude how does your headers sound, am I in for a rude...

Sounds good to me we still need to pick a spot.....I am 100% in on this...
