The latest track day adventure. Had a couple friends out and was going to split the first session of the day giving them both a quick ride while I warmed up the tires... turns out to not be the case but also get to learn a new lesson.

Andy1, everything else looks fine. I am sure the new pads have a little uneven wear but I expect them to be just fine, the rotor looks good, and all feels pretty solid once I torqued the nut back up. As for analyzing, I have to say I stayed out much longer than I would normally would have with a weird issue - I usually come in immediately. It was just one of those really strange set of coincidences that I put new rear pads in and changed the camber, and the way the car was acting, it appeared to have bias issues with the new pads and oversteer from getting the camber a bit wrong. Until I had to pump the brakes to get the pads pushed back out and then losing power in that turn, I was on a path to try to resolve the two. Just one of those flukes where I had a new issue that acted like expected with the other two changes made, so I never once thought "loose wheel". I am actually really happy the stub can come disengaged before the nut is fully off, it is a bit of a safety feature in a way.

Andy2, As for a locking pin, the car doesn't have that. I have late model Carrera hubs and stubs so maybe that is different than the stock 914? I admit I forget what the stock 914 was like, been quite awhile I have had this setup, and these just have a lock nut as the only locking feature, well torque also is a locking feature, but you get my point.
