Ok, to shed some light on what supposedly happened; another forum I frequent also hosts the Dixie Region forum and word is:
"He bought lug nuts by telling merchant what car, wheel, etc. Apparently they had the wrong threading. He could torque them to 80lbs and all seemed fine, right up until..." well, you know.

I would think that if incorrect lugnuts were the cause... even if he could have torqued them on, the wheels would have had to be VERY loose to suffer that catastrophically, and that quickly.

at least the motor didn't give up.

rx-7s are unreliable enough and don't need any help from operator error.

If someone did that do me on purpose I would sue them. That would require new exhaust, brakes, etc. Not to mention getting the wheels realigned, and possible transmission damage. At least $5k+.

if the tire knocks a cone over, does that count against you?
