Tried that. That was the first thing I tried, even. Ended up chipping some paint off my wheel and not budging the wheel lock. Then I went and bought special tools that are supposed to remove them... they either wouldn't fit through the opening in the wheel, or they didn't work. Drilling them out is really my only option at this point.

I dunno what brand of wheel locks these are... but they definitely make stealing the wheels a lot harder! LOL

Mr Phil

Dropped it off to get painted

-Op-

Had basically this problem. Lock nuts and lost key for it. Got a socket that is threaded on the inside of it, but is reverse threads. Stuck it on the end of my impact and zapped em off quick. I cant remember where we got them though. Worth looking in to. They worked great.

Did you ever settle on a color?

Mr Phil

It should look awesome though!

Mr Phil

I'm hoping so... Ive seen some pics of people doing it before and it seems like there were different shades of dark depending on the car... I'm just hoping it doesn't come out too dark since my car was initially black

$26?!? Using premium 93 octane?

I used the socket/hammer method successfully. I used a big rubber mallet to drive them on then an impact gun to take them off. Hard part was trying to remove the lug nuts which were embedded in the socket

Looks like he has a 93 V6 ( judging from the gauges ) so I doubt it. Probably 87 but even then, $26 from E to F is insane.

Makes you wonder if he's got a buddy at a refinery or something, LOL, V6/V8 doesn't really matter much all have the same capacity tank and 87 vs other octanes won't be more then like 5 bucks difference in cost over a complete tank of fuel.

How much you spent to fill up means nothing if you don't note how many gallons, hell your gauge could be way off and show empty when you still have like half a tank.

I typically refill when it takes about 10 gallons plus or minus 1 gallon so I usually put in about 40 bucks, I don't like running tanks low, it's less of an issue due to the design of our fuel pumps (that keep the pump submerged in fuel at all times) but not all cars are like that and running tanks low will cause premature failure of the fuel pump, because the gas itself acts as a lubricant and cooler to the fuel pump.

98s and down still have a 15.5g metal tank opposed to the 99s starting the 16.7g plastic tank. I usually fill up when I get to 1/4 and its 12-13 gallons give or take a few quarts.

Haha to keep you guys happy, I live in "Bordertown, USA" so the gas is cheap down here. Weve hit low of $2.70 this past winter. Mind you its not the "past Full" which prolly really represents full. Yes 87 octane with a 3.4L V6

And for anyone really that curious, I will take a photo at my next fill up

In the process of painting my valve covers and now I have added the project of deleting the PCV system. Unplanned delete though, it seems after all these years the plastic lines are brittle and its basically falling apart. I even went as far as installing a new PCV valve which led to broken lines. I really dont want to mess with redoing the system right now so its going to be PCV free for awhile.
