I had them in the boot and I still have around 20 left.

I gave it to Ratty and told him to share...

In future I will pack a ground anchor and ratchet so we can secure it down properly.

Well he didn't do his job very well, I say you sack him off for future events.

I had alot of fun with the supercharger on the way home.

Sooo bloody fast. boost in vtec is shamazeballs.
I drank 3/4 tank of fuel on the way home. ABout 160miles.

I ate lots of Niin cakes.

It did this 2 years ago when leaving Japfest, so when I replaced them they were done up "hammer tight". I then removed them yesterday for cleaning and painting, but failed to do them hammer tight, forgetting what happened previously. The car promptly reminded me about it

Yep, they're meant to be f'ing tight. 80 lbFt.

Does hammer tight mean you don't use a torque wrench?

You probably won't reach 80 lbFt with a hammer tbh!

Painted the.caliper on the faces that mate together by any chance ? That would explain why they come loose and fall apart.
