FS: NEW - Palo Uber Tuner Lug Key!

For any one using the PU tuner lugs, well you already have one key, but an extra one is always a good idea to have in case of emergency (and why PU sells their keys separately), especially since they can and do break (believe me I know; it has happened to me). I had an extra that was never used and since I've taken the PU lugs off my Mini for good, this is now available to you.

The PU key alone sells for $10 + shipping (which I believe is at least $5) on the PU site. You can see it at the bottom of this page (at least as of this posting):

http://1346843.estore.networksolutio...rt=16&total=62

So an extra key from PU will cost you $15, but you can have this one for $8 shipped, really half off! Let me hear you PU lug users.

Guess no one is using these lugs. They must have all rusted.

BTW, I took the rusty lugs off the market. They will probably become a real collector's item, the stuff NAM legends are made of and the PU product that spawned a thread that now exceeds 400 posts and almost 7,000 views. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=108918 Also PU keeps saying they are going to stop selling these rusty lugs, so they may no longer be available already from the manufacturer! I might be persauded though through PM to part with them at no additional cost to whoever wants this brand new, never been used PU tuner lug key!!

It is so much more than just a lug removal/install key. Just carrying it around in your boot will increase your HP, MPG, and status with the opposite sex (or even the same sex). Come on now, have some vision.

Have you heard the news?

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=115082

Now you can (in my best eBay announcer's voice) "buy with confidence"! Get a cheap key for the lugs of your dreams and your future! Get your bid in ahead of the crowd; the phone lines are now open and operators are standing by to take your order.

Someone out there has to have some non-rusty lugs that need a spare key!

I asked $8, but I'll take less, so make me an offer I can't refuse!

It looks like the wrench may be sold, so doesn't someone want this spare PU lug key for their rusty PU tuner lugs???

I know, I know. I ripped these lugs in a thraed and in an actual review, but doesn't anyone in all of NAM-land have a set of un-rusted tuners that needs an extra key?

Do you have any dyno results? Also, how will it affect the air flow through my PU hood scoop? I like to keep it smooth and streamlined, no turbulent air for me!

I don't need no documented stinking test results, as I have the word of the artist, PALO UBER, and that ought to be good enough for anybody! I think you need this tuner key, when properly placed inside your PU hood scoop, it will maximize the smooth air flowing to your IC. So when can I expect payment?

This key will never sell. I may have to send it to that guy who wants "free stuff" to stock his garage AND pay the shipping!

It is also better than a roll of coins inside a boxing glove. This key is a sure KO!

BTW, from my experience this key is too soft and damages easily (go take a look at the photo posted in my vendor review), so if you do have non-rusty Palo Uber Tuners on your Mini, having a back-up key is a good idea.

I guess the overwhelming response to this offer is because there are so many sturdy and non-failing PU keys in use on non-rusting PU tuner lugs. I feel like I'm Rodney Dangerfield; "Please someone take my Palo Uber key!"

You can send it to me...I'm not willing to pay anything for it including shipping. It will go on my wall of shame with the PU antenna and other subpar parts I've broken.

I may just do that, assuming that a "satisfied" PU customer does not claim this key and actually pay me for it . Since you will not even pay shipping though, I want at least a promise of a posted photo to NAM of your wall of shame. Actually, if you go look at my PU vendor review, I have photos there of the damaged PU wrench socket and the damaged PU tuner lug key . Wouldn't those be better entries to your wall of shame than a brand new key? BTW, how many PU parts (and which ones) are already up there?

Only have the antenna to be put up there, along with bits of broken Mini that are my own doing.

Sorry to hear there are any broken Mini parts, no matter how they got that way. Please tell me that PU made you do it though.
