I'm on the annual wheel bolt replacement schedule and replaced front wheel bearings for the first time at about 63k miles. Was chasing down an ABS issue and did it. Wasn't the problem but good to do anyways.

I almost drove to Dallas last weekend to cruise around but stopped at Austin. Are there any places to check out for never been to Dallas before?

I stay on bolts as well. How many torque cycles are you guys doing annually?
For example, only 6 track days/brake pad changes = 12 cycles. The factory coating is pretty much gone. |

I'd rather periodically replace a bolt than mess with R&R'ing new studs. No spacers involved makes this a no-brainer for me. |

In the wet, about a 1/2 car width off the dry line works great especially in the braking zones. Just do the rim shot in rattlesnake and little bend. Not sure how wagon wheel is...I've only driven the 3.1 in the rain.

At the BMWCCA event this past weekend I witnessed 5 drivers check torque mid-day putting a lot of force on the torque wrench to get an immediate click. I just shook my head. If they torqued it to 90 ft/lbs my bet is they were well over 110ft/lbs. It's interesting to see how easy it is to go +10% with my digital torque wrench. It gives you a reading for each pull. It really takes a lot of care to get all 5 with if 5 ft/lbs. Doesn't take much at all to go 10-15 ft/lbs over on lug nuts.

Lol I have bolts up front and studs on rear. Neither are easy, but I run 10mm spacers all around on the daily setup and only rear spacers on track and the bolts up front are a PITA with the spacers

I just bought a car that has Apex studs. The car apparently has 6 track days on it, but I'm not sure how many are on these studs, if any. I don't plan to track the car.
Do I need to replace the studs if it's just used on the street? Should I convert back to bolts? |
