It’s probably just your suspension failing, no need to worry

Seriously though... it could be any number of things, how are we supposed to know?

That literally could be anything.

From what I hear that's a normal reversing from @humfrz.

In this case, maybe you can tell us.. was the ground clear of any obstacles? Were you moving forward and suddenly shifted into reverse? Any chance you hit one of a {squirrel, dog, cat, rat, mouse, sea otter, human}? Curb? Parking curb?

If you had the emergency brake ON, after you released it and started moving backwards, the shoe might have been sorta stuck to the drum and made that sound when it released.

That is very true. Check behind (or under) your car to see what jumped out behind your car. I have seen pillars in parking garages, port-a-poties, driveway light posts, shopping carts, several cars and truck (near misses) and several people (near misses) jump out in front of my car while backing up.

There are many cool murals painted on buildings and walls here around Tucson, AZ!

I'm wondering if Lewis Hamilton posed for the mural...

You are absolutely right and I believe it was brake pad might have stuck to the drum and I noticed that the rotors also some what rusted.

Uninstalled my CAE ultra shifter and put it for sale in the member classifieds.

Under the right conditions, the rotors will start to rust about 6 seconds after the car is stopped. Not to worry, they will clean off after the brakes are used for a few wheel rotations -

I use to ride BMX freestyle all the time back in the mid-late 80's. I didn't know who he was, he's a new school rider. Found out his name is Kevin Peraza.

He started out BMX racing then got into freestyle/ramp & bowl riding. Became sponsored by Mongoose and competing at the X-Games!

The other day, but whatever:

Rays anodized aluminum fasteners. People did stupid things with the previous nuts and I didn't trust them anymore. Thought about blue, but it didn't match the WRB and I thought it might be nice to have a splash of a different color on the car. v0v

Did a thing this weekend, then went for a drive

BladeRunner · 09-17-2018, 09:29 PM

looks great Yoshoobaroo!

I bit the bullet and ordered a OFT V2 directly from them. I figured it's the least I could do to support them giving our community free tunes.

I am upgrading to:

HKS EL Headers w/ Ceramic Coating
Motiv Overpipe w/ Ceramic Coating
Motiv High Flow Cat'd Front Pipe
Perrin 2.5" Resonated Catback
OFT Stage 2+ tune

From just a Perrin Catback / Motiv Track pipe (front pipe).

Hoping to get rid of that dip. I'm not a fan of UEL sound, and the HKS EL had the best results on all the headers at my local tuner for removing the dip.
