If i remember right, the problem was the wheel studs were stressed, the car didnt have hubcentric rings. All that plus hard driving = FAIL.

Yet another mistake!!

Hot brakes and clamping the pads against the rotors.

After grinding to halt on the rotors themselves warpage is the least of his worries. I just thought it was funny that he set the brake.......it's not like the thing is going to roll away.

Uummm....it didn't look to me like it ran long enough for the brakes to even get hot...lol
