Other than the lighting being weak I thought that this picture was passable. Perhaps you could work on composition a bit more.

Wait, how does a front caliper mounting bolt back out? Of all the issues with a bolt, I would think this one would shear or something. Vibrations? Wrong bolt? Jesus, that might scare me into selling it for being cursed.Kalashnikov wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 7:49 pm Take the cake.
Acura does not seem to enjoy the trips to Flag this year. Somehow on the way home the top front caliper mounting bolt backed out... So this could have been much worse.
When I was trying to take off the wheel to see what happened,three...fucking three studs broke. I can only assume that the place that mounted tires in June did a great job with their gun.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
I can only assume that it was vibrations or past history. This is the second critical bolt that disappeared on that corner in 7 years I had the car. The other one was the radius arm that fell out. I backed the car up with wheel rubbing the fender and fixed it at work, and that was 6 years ago.
I was driving off road and through many cattle guards on Saturday, so that could be the contributing factor.
I know that this could have been much worse. I was driving back from Flag on i17, 85-90 mph. Would have been one heck of a "oh shit" if I went to hit the brakes on the downhill section and pedal went to the floor.

That would be difficult. 260 replies so far, and the thread is far from over.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Has anyone replaced their seat belt before? I was looking at the service interval thingys on a diagnostic scanner I'm trying out. Noticed it had replace seat belt every 30k miles. Thought that was a bit excessive, but did make me think about what a realistic service interval would be. Mine does show some sign of wear.
