I just now tightened mine to 70 nm and it didn't seem like it took that much force and I'm not Hercules. Makes me wonder if my torque wrench is...
What "should" one do then?
Given that most F430s were ordered w/ the automatic transmission, would it be correct to assume that most commenting on their F430s in this thread...
I took it today after work and it passed. Thank you again for taking the time to share this information. It was very helpful!
The catalyst code cleared on the first cycle, just like in your experience. I haven't had a chance to take it for emissions testing yet but...
And it takes a long time to complete the entire drive cycle b/c you have to find the right road and traffic conditions for each task. So you have...

I was undecided on going this year, thinking that since it was so late in the season it would be cold and miserable. But I layered up and it was...
So what? It's nothing new that driving enthusiasts aren't the majority. You have completely forgotten that none of that makes an electric car an...
I wouldn't be surprised if they either don't teach that anymore or greatly de-emphasize it b/c it is an convenient truth for their narrative.
My round trip commute is only 4 miles and there's no way I'd want to do it in an electric car. My hot hatch daily driver is a riot (the exhaust...
Haven't seen anything about it so thought I'd check. Is there Cappuccinos & Ferraris this Saturday?
I've used both Atlanta Protective Films and Clearfilm recently and been happy with both.
