  1. As above anyone going to the "take it to the track" show at brands on Sunday? I will be there but I'm on track for the day
     
  2. I'm going.... with a big coat looking at the weather lol
     
  3. Hope it wasn't you who had the incident.....
     
  4. what happened at brands today?
     

  5. Someone on Renault UK says a red megane had an off on turn 1 I believe.
     
  6. NSF wheel stud/studs snapped and did some damage to NSF
     
  7. Suprised 5 wheel studs snapped
     
  8. Yep was me and yes all 5 nuts snapped before anyone asks yes car was running correct spigot ring to match the hub and they are always torqued correctly cars fine looked much much worse then it was
     
  9. sure they weren't eBay shit?
     
  10. Ktec stud conversion so not cheap eBay ones
     
  11. Studs snapped I can only imagine they were tightened up too tight? The studs like not the nuts
     
  12. why change from bolts too studs why they better
     
  13. Stud torqued to 20lbs then wheels fitted and 85lbs on the nuts, this is what I'd been told by many many tuners
     
  14. Shit dude is the car ok then? That's not good. Could be a faulty batch you should get one tested for tensile strength. I'd be phoning Ktec tomorrow morning about that if it was me. I guess they only supply then but still. Fuck.
     
  15. Bit shit but I guess there's nothing you can do. All part of the fun I suppose least it wasn't the porsche
     
  16. Were you filming matt?
     
  17. Well I would like to find out why they failed
    These are designed to be safer, not cause a wheel to fly off. Yes mate I'll get video up soon
     
  18. Exactly. They've clearly failed and are not up scratch.
     
  19. I'm doing a track day at Brands on the 16th Jan ! My first in the Meg ! Any tips ? I've only been on castle Combe and Bedford before in the Audi.
