Broke my wheel knuckle at Pasir Gudang :-(

I was on my last lap at Pasir Gudang last Monday 6th Oct when I heard a sudden grinding noise. Initially I thought my engine had blown.. I checked my oil pressure, oil temp, exhaust temp and water temp but everything seemed ok.

After I drove into the pit, I saw that my brake calipers was misaligned with the rotors. I thought that my brakes had overheated at first but when I drove to Ah Siang's workshop Boostzone Motorsports. He told me that the bearings in my wheel knuckle had given way. :-(

See the pictures below:







They couldn't get any second hand parts in JB. Not wanting to spend RM650 to tow my car back to Singapore, Ah Siang ordered a brand new part from Singapore for S$585. Ah Boon had quoted me about $350 for second hand part.

My car spent the night at Ah Siang's workshop.. I missed my car.. luckily he got everything in order the next day by 4pm and even sent my car for alignment and a wash. He's (Ah Siang) someone I can rely on for any issues!
