BJShipley Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Oh god I've had a nightmare. Went to fit my genuine Rays Te37s last night with tegiwa wheel nuts. Got the fronts on the tool provided with the nuts didn't fit AT ALL!! Then discovered I need new pads on front. Got to rear found out I have a rust hole in the exhaust so it's blowing even though I was told it was a full through stainless steel hks. Yeah just a back box! -.- then Im getting ready for some new pads and discs on back. Then the worst thing the wheel didn't fit over the spigot rings on back the hub on the wheel needs about 1/4 an inch off. So now I've had to put my old wheels back on and my front tyres are bald on them.. So I've got to have some new tyres on today and all they have is budgets so I've had to put them on whilst I get my rays sorted. Absolute nightmare. And it's mot next month :'( Bret.
