BeastMode13's Dual Purpose P3D Build Journey
- Thread starter beastmode13
- Start date
I consider myself very fortunate to be in a position to attend more track days than I initially thought I was able to. Instead of doing a few track days a year, I'm going track weekends. Thus I've decided to shift direction on my brake setup to a full race setup. In a week or two, I will post the installation of the new race setup. What this means is I am listing my RB460 380x32 Street/Track BBK for sale. - Model 3 BBK
RB is excellent for street/track. I'm going with the full track - AP Competition.

ARP 100-7736 wheel studs. This is a convenience and safety upgrade from stock. The bullet nose end makes it wheel change much easier. The extra length will allow for full engagement of the lug nut.

I love this thread. It reminds me of the many BMW E39 threads that I followed for the last 17 years. Lots of good detailed info. Hope to see more threads like this. Thanks
Please install it and let us know that it fits. I liked those studs on my race car - it was convenient. Are your nuts not sitting full on the stud?

When bedding brakes on our cars how do you handle the regen braking force? Do you change it to low regen, or put it in N before hitting the brake pedal, or something different? I have a DM non-p, so no track mode.
I have Titan7's OWL titanium lugs, it is much deeper lug than stock. With it fully torqued to spec, I still have 12.3mm of lug threads left. The bullet nose will make the wheel change a lot easier, especially at the end of track day when I'm exhausted.
Switch to Low Regen when you bed the brakes. Then switch back to standard regen on the cool down drive to avoid using the brakes at all.

As far as I know only one company massively does titanium nuts/bolts and studs and they directly sell them on US $160.0 |cone seat and closed end titanium alloy wheel hub nut M14*1.5*35|Nuts & Bolts| | - AliExpress I'm thinking to use those closed nuts on summer wheels since otherwise threading is constantly exposed to dirt. I still don't know dimension of stud to properly choose the length - absence of lift and social distancing doesn't help to find it out. Incan only measure depth of the seating on the rim. Do you know how big part of the stud that sits under brake rotor?

Very nice! Any idea how many mm of threads these will add over stock?
Stock is 1.75" below the head. These are 2.7" below the head. So almost one inch longer than stock, with 0.4" being the bullet nose, and about 0.6" of additional threads.
Bless Harbor Freight for being an essential services during the shelter in place order in Nor Cal. Got myself a new tool that will pay for itself in no time. @MountainPass crossing my fingers that 12 ton is enough. There is a 20 ton model for not much more money, but it’s too large, aka conspicuous from other member of the household.
PSA. Practice safe package handling in the era of covid19. According NEJM, covid19 can survive on cardboard for 24hrs. It has been 24hrs already, but I will give it 30hrs before I start my assembling process.

12 ton Central Machinery hydraulic press is ready for action.
Typical HF tolerance issue. The holes on the jack base and the mounting plate is 1/16” off. Fixed the alignment issue with 3/8” drill bit on the two mounting holes on the jack base.

Hey buddy, I know this was a total slip and I know what conversion factor you're referring to for the 2.2 but in this case, which I know you know, it's 16oz/lb and 28g/oz so the total savings is divisible by (448g/lb) ~13.5lbs in total savings.
