The Billet 4 bolt hubs worked GREAT!!!, Thanks Mueller !! Options

[john rogers]

Thanks Mike, the test this weekend was a huge success and I was amazed at how much difference the vented rotors made as I had no fade like I experienced last year. I got back from CT Thursday at noon and put the bearings in the hubs and the studs in. The only issue I has were the grease seals kept wanting to pop out so I staked the inner lip where they press in and they stayed fine. The SC rotors fit exact as did the loaded calipers I bought. I used the pads that came with them and will get some race pads in the next week or so. The rear brakes stayed the BMWs with no prop valve. I used a 36 piece of flex brake line on each side in the front to get a little more heat disapation. The brakes worked amazing in the practice sessions and the race and I found I could go further into a corner that even the Mitsu-Evo or the Subaru all wheel drive cars. Under full load braking the car was straight and no hint of any tale wagging at all, maybe due to the larger pistons in the M calipers as opposed to the BMWs? After the practice race I checked the bearing play and noted the cross hatching was not even worn any on the rotors!

Thanks a million and I would say the test was a huge success as far as I am concerned. I will post some assy and race pictures later today or tonight.

Thanks Mike, the specs as follows: All steel body with glass, fiberglass flares with 15x7 rims and Goodyear 9x23x15 slicks (9.5 in wide). 2.0L six (184HP at rear wheels on a dyno) with oil tank, batt and trans pump/cooler in rear trunk. 12 Gal fuel cell forward of the bulkhead and huge front oil cooler. Only one seat with 6 pt roll cage, cool suit, video system, etc in the middle of the car. Trans has K-Q-V top gear set and GT limited slip so top speed is about 130 to 135 MPH and I shift with one of James' Rennshifts (great). It weighs 2300 # with me in the car so I guess I need to go on a diet??!! The car is about as low as I can get it as in Tacate I was sending sparks from the floor pan on some of the bumps, need some of those rub strips the rally cars use. I have 23mm T-bars in front, 300# springs rear Koni sport shocks, large front sway bar, stock rear sway bar hooked up. I use one of the Merc 23mm M/C and so far have had good luck with it. Oh yea, it is now purple with bright orange numbers!!!!

[Brad Roberts]

Thanks John. Sorry it took so long to get the hubs to you.

I'll be at the event. Mueller/me will have them with us for sale.

405.00$

Everyone interested:

We had to have them tested on a full blown race car under EXTREME conditions. John fit the bill, but we didnt like the first set of studs we recieved (John needed studs)

[LouisCypher]

Hi Brad,

are the hubs with studs or can they be used with bolts? What does the price include? Shipping to Germany?

Thx in advance,

Louis

[Korijo]

what if someone wants them, but wont be attending? (me, for example (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) )

could someone pick me up a pair?

[john rogers]

Thanks a zillion Brad. They were most definateky worth the wait. I showed a lot of the racers in Tecate and they were amazed at the machine work involved and how well the rotors went on. As I noted I used what pads came on the rebuild calipers and I'd like a recommendation on what to use with my current setup. I usually use Metal Master (Axxis) but if there is something better I'll switch. I have the BMW on the rear and plan to let it stay that way for now. The road had sections so rough that you could hear the cars bottoming out with a huge bang and I had to check the front suspension after each run session as last year the top strut mount bolts came out! Now they are lockwired! Thanks again.

[Brad Roberts]

Louis,

They are designed for use with the stock lug bolts (both steel or alloy wheel style)

Last Monday I was trying to find out where you where located in Germany. One of our "club helpers" (female) flew to Munich for 3 weeks and was going to end up in Hamburg (actually Luneberg) I had planned to send two sets with her for you... didnt happen. We will have to ship them.

Send me a email: sales@914world.com

We can get them out next week after I return from our WCC event.

Ecomm. They are on there and ready to go. I'll turn it on Tuesady the 26th of April when I return from the 05WCC track event. I dont have much content in Ecomm, but what we do have listed is ready to ship.

Just wish I could get this court crap done with.

[Brad Roberts]

Here is what they look like on the Ecomm site. I need a better pic without those crappy studs we first tried.

John,

I'm a huge fan of Porterfields.. and have a lot of endurance racing experience with Performance friction on the GT3RSR's and Cup cars. Keep the BMW's in the rear with semi stock pad for that caliper and use something aggressive in the front.

Please check the bearings OFTEN. It sounds like you put them through HELL.

Thanks again. Cant wait to meet you.

[Brad Roberts]

Dave,

I have a set already assembled. I will set them aside for you. I know you wanted a pair way back. Mueller and I will make sure we ship you the first set out the door early next week. Shipping was something like 8-10$

I hope things are going as well as it can for you. I'm in a world of shit right now trying to keep my head above water. If it wasnt for the club people and a few close friends, I'd probably be in a ditch right now face down in the desert with vultures pecking away at my eyes (or cops..however you want to look at it)


B

[Brad Roberts]

If/when the first 10 sets sell, I will imediately start another run of 25 pairs.

[tat2dphreak]

Brad,keep your head up, we are all behind you 110%, this whole thing is just pile of SHIT!!!

[914werke]
