    I was enjoying this thread until I got to the engine bay. I know it's been said, but you should really redo it. The rest of your car is so clean.

    And it's not even the paint they're making fun of, it's the obvious waves from the half-done bondo job, the still there "shaved" brackets and the overspray on everything. Engine bays are probably the worst part on a car to paint, we all know this, but another hour spent prepping better would have made you happy for years and would have saved you over an hour of time when you go to redo it.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the car finished, I really like the OEM-ness of your car.

    I think the humorous part was that he's living in his own little world, that he didn't acknowledge the terms.

    This is the one I used for this job:



    Just make sure it's that PN, not the normal 30mm. Should be something like 8 bucks. ;)

    Or,

    You can get a short 30mm and get an old socket and weld them together, what I did. If you weren't 45345345kms away I would lend it to you.

    Bavarian Autosport has the socket you need.

    Fuckin total pisser though on how ass-raping expensive it is..

    Look at axel/hub removal sockets. They come in a good variety and are usually plenty deep for most anything you need to do. The only issue I've run into is that the sidewalls are sometimes a bit too thick.
