Wanted to post a thanks to all who weighed in on this whole Roadster wheel lock, lug nut torque thing. It's not as exciting as most of the posts, but it was important to me.

This morning, I went out and backed off each lug, and re-torqued them, one at a time, to 80 ft. lbs. torque, now I KNOW they are all tightened properly.

I will re-check after 600 miles, then at each oil change, if not sooner, as recommended by the Nissan owners manual and some list members.

I have to say that as infantile as this job was, it felt great to "work" on my Roadster! I am going to order my Race Ramps this week so I'm ready for the fist oil change. Saw a real nice creeper with rubber wheels the other day. Have to add that to my work area too.

And this week, I'm ordering a spare tire from the dealer.

Now to get this baby on the road. Hoping for an early Spring.
