Hmmm, that seems like more than just the tourqe....

He's refering to the amount of torque applied to the lug nuts when tightning them. You're supposed to use a torque wrench on lug nuts and really any kind of nuts. Over torquing puts too much stress on the bolt and they can snap like that.

or not tighting the lugnuts in general... I did get a killer laugh out of the fact that he pulled the ebrake up.. hahah

You dont wanna roll when your car is sitting on its frame..

But yea, wow.. Not one tire but all 4!? Im surely thinking they were not tightened rather then over tightened

Them Miata's are viscious powerful.:slappers:
And die-cast lugs are never a good idea.

Yea I knew what he meant there clovis, I was just saying for all 4 to do that...seems to me like someone didnt even tighten them.

From the picture those studs were broke off into the rotor seems to me they were overtightened. I have seen this happen on a TA but only 2 wheels came off. :think: :lol: funny video
