You were cranking out some fast laps there Tim, and with a passenger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Love your car! So the wheel was the only issue? The transmission was OK? Just shows we all should re-check the wheel nuts before every session on the track or hill climb. And if you go watch the historic guys at the track everything is wired. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) QUOTE Just shows we all should re-check the wheel nuts before every session on the track or hill climb. Absolutely! We always impact gun, torque, then put paint marks on the hub and nut to provide a visual clue as to whether anything has loosened. Then we check 'em again... everytime! BTW - Isn't that hub nut supposed to be torqued to somewhere north of 200ft. lbs.? I can't remember off hand and might be confusing the 914 with a 944 or something...
