I hope it's this easy;
Without being able to take off my wheels*, I have been left with a wild imagination;
It's definately speed related as opposed to transmision/rpm replated, so I was down to:
brakes (improbable)
tire (I can't observe any defect)
hub
While I was up in PG, I did use the factory jack to raise the car and look around - I saw nothing rubbing...
The white car has hubs, they're far from perfect, but I can't argue with the cost
* = I apparently somehow wrecked my wheel locks, before realizing that it was the wheel locks that were damaged, I bought a replacement key, and last night wrecked the replacement key in aproximately thirty seconds, then frivolously tried drilling out one of the lugs before giving up...
Today I bought a single Snap-On wheel lock nut remover - hopefully it does the trick!
I made a video on my iphone, it's faint (on the video) but it's definately a buzzing noise...

Forgive my ignorance, but 'S5'?
In Prince George there was a JDM Evo IV witha an aftermarket exhaust, and who knows what else...
He succeeded in eggining me on, and being awd he did launch better, but I tooled him none the less... LOL
Jamie was riding shotgun, and other than me scaring her a little, she thought it was cool.

Egads removing those mcgard lock nuts sucked!
The snap-on socket didn't work, but I made a pos lock nut remover kit from princess auto work...
It only took (what I'm guessing to be) three hours for removing four lock nuts!
(after fighting one off, I then had to fight it back OUT of the lock nut remover! - so one sits semi-seized in said socket on my work bench tonight!)

This tune update will require a major retune (a new tune will have to be purchased). The modifications are extensive and well have to start from scratch.

Mark I've lost my wallet as soon as I find it I'm on my way (got no Gas)

Mark, you have a PM;
Well I think that you & Jon were right;
I swapped hubs, and I think that fixed it...
Sheesh, I wonder if Nathan EVER washed that car;
For only driving it a little over a year, EVERYTHING seems rusty... I had a heack of a time getting that hub out ~ but on the upside, I figured out how to swap hubs without screwing up my alignment!
I will be tinkering at my place tomorrow, is it safe to assume you'll be at the shop? ~ if so, maybe I'll stop by for another visit.
