Yes guys, every car besides the Starfire is a factory manual. (only because that was the only option.)
The vista cruiser as we are aware of right now is a 1 of 1. and what question was it I didn't answer lol?

nice!
Didn't know the Cragars were made in Brazil. as for the washers... do the cragars have the oval slot and that is why you need the slot washers? |

Cragars are made in USA, just these were "knockoffs" and then were superhard to take off. They have the washer to accustom a 5x4 up to a 5x5. Therefore making them a universal fit type deal.

Sounds like you have some fun projects going on. So you had a hard time getting those cheap cragars off the car, sounds like you had to knockoff the knockoffs??
thank you, thank you, I will be here all week! We would love to see some pics of your other stuff too! |

do the wheels actually have a Cragar logo or brand name on them anywhere, they may have been licensed to produce in Brazil? seems to me you'd have the same issue regardless of quality or origin due to the Unilug design, US produced Cragar wheels with Unilug slots do the same thing
also, are those foreign Cragars hub-centric, does the center hub fit to the wheel or does it float around? |
