Had the wheel come off today... Turns out it my damn torque wrench wasn't calibrated right and was only torquing to around 60 foot pounds instead of 80.

Need new fender. :/

I'm very fond of my supercharged GD-3, but I love my crazy cow dog... Neither of which have pink wheels...

Ouch! Wow, even with 60'# the wheel still came off? Sounds like you and the car are ok though minus a fender... could have been worse... Hope all goes well!

Oh Nooo Hootie... Please don't say that loose wheel nuts were making the noise that you said was CV joint noise... No you would have had to of had the wheel off when checking out the CV thing, right? 80 ft lbs, must be the axle bolt, yeah that's it.

Ryan, you should couple it with the Mugen short shifter. Super short throws and it Mugen...which is always awesome.

I was getting a bit fed up of the look of the long stock aerial on my GD1, so I ordered a Tegiwa Bee Sting Aerial off of eBay. It unfortunately didn't fit my Jazz very well as the base diameter was too large.

A few minutes spent on the lathe at work, and it now fits...
I reduced the length by about 10mm to give the new aerial the same base diameter as the OEM aerial (11mm).

After modification:





And fitted to the car:

I much prefer the new look compared to the 770mm long aerial that was on there before. And as i can still get radio reception, i'm quite happy.

Yeah. I think J-Crim has already sold his but he had one set up that way. I would hit him up. I know he really liked it.
