I will be pulling mine apart this off season and checking them or have them checked.
they have 1 season of going slow and 60k street miles.

 

That would be great!

 

Not a fan of Audi's as race cars but that looks and sounds like its professionally build and fun to drive.
Sound is great especially.

Great driver

But then again...audi's are easy to drive

 

The audi driver is definitely doing the brake pedal tickle


Are the cars that have broken hubs all been on R-compounds or slicks?

 

both for me.

 

R compounds here also


hey crash, if your pulling the hubs and bearings off to have them check, just replace them with new and keep the old ones as good spares .

 

just R comps for me.
and less size than krazik.
he is running 285?
I was running 245's then switched to 275's more than half way through the season

 

I was going to look into that idea.

 

Is this what a hub failure looks like on an S2000? 3:57 in video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0ud5...eature=related Looks like Honda Cup was a lot of fun

 

I have that in my F2000 after going through Riverside CCW and braking for entry to bus stop. First time the pedal went to the floor I almost crapped... saved it on a second stab of the pedal and sliding all over. Since then, I have to be tapping the pedal mid-riverside while at very high lateral G's (have to be more careful than tapping on straights).

Worn bearings can lead to play in the hubs and rotors that pushes the pads out. But I think it can also be due to any source of vibrations (like in that Audi and most race cars with race calipers) and, I believe, also to just sustained lateral G's as in my case. Reason I believe it's only common with race calipers (or certain ones like the Alcon's on my car) is that the pistons retract so, so easily. I can just push them in with my fingers. Stock calipers are not easy.

oh, and the knockback appears to cause fluid to overflow out of the reservoirs.
