* Main and 8mm bolts on the Engine Access cover - 8mm and ??? - 5k. Especially if you don't do your own oil (which you should).

* 8 bolts (4 on either side) that hold the exhaust up - 8mm Socket - 10k. They mount through thick rubber grommets, and you'll be unhappy when they loosen up and your exhaust starts making out with your diffuser.

I would like to see some torque spec numbers in this sticky, especially for those important suspension parts. Anyone have them?
