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
Yup, that's Marty's hub failure . He was running fresh shaved 305 18 RA1's.

What are the maximum amount of track days you would recommend before replacing the hubs? In other words, what is a typical season for you guys? And is it just the rear that are the problem? I want to make sure my wife's new car has it done.

I'd just make sure the torque the axel nuts and maybe replace them every other year?
