^^^ It failed to reciprocate, LOL .... IDK the real reason ..... kinda the same as the electric cars that got DQ'd for killing the gas and alcohol motors. Perfect torque line (not even a curve on electric) FTW!!!

its a darn good car though. solid.
anyway, so im drivin about 3 in the morning, k?
and im on a long empty street, hypothetically going 35mph (+90mph) down it, and my freakin front left wheel just locks up solid!!!!! I skidded forever, barely keeping control, until i slid through a bush. it only a little cosmetic damage, but wtf happened???? did the wheel bearing lock up, or the caliper.I left a giant trail of smoke, and made a giant flat spot on my tire.


(this was last night btw)

thanks in advance live2rice lol

hard to say what it is without actually looking into the car, did it unlock itself or did you have to tow it back and its still locked up

tow it. it is stuck solid like a rock man. holy crap though. lockin up a tire at 125ish. scary as heck. really dumb on my part to be speeding though. the only smell was burnt rubber. i looked at the hub when i stopped and it was glowing red.

hmmm well i would just check to see if the caliper is clamped on the rotor, that will tell you

yeah that'll do it, rather have that then a blow out at that speed though
