Today I installed The Super Now! hub kit for FC3S. My left front hub was on had started to make noise, so I decided to replace the hub with the Super Now! hub kit. I had planned on doing all my brakes at the same time but the more I drove the car the worse the sounds was coming from the old hub. So this morning I took off from work and went to the base to use their auto hobby shop. Yeah I could have done it in the driveway with some jack stands, but when you can rent a lift for 2 hours for $7 it makes it so much more enjoyable.
Well I it ended up taking about 35 minutes to change out the hubs. I didn’t have a scale to weigh the Super Now hubs VS Mazda stock hubs, but the Super Now! hubs where a lot lighter than the stock ones. I've gotta order some more parts from them I will ask them how much their hubs weigh.
On their website they said that with one of their track cars all they did was change the old hubs to the lighter Super Now! hubs and that car ran a faster lap time by 1 sec.
The Super Now! hub kit comes with the bearing pre install and ready to go right on to the car. I give Super Now 2 thumbs up, this kit rocks! The kit workmanship is #1 machined on a CNC.
A trick they showed me at the Auto Hobby shop was to use a punch on the screws holding the rotor on. Punch a hole in it near the edge then angle the punch in the direction to unscrew it and hammer it a few times the screw break loose and is ready to take out.
Yes I know my car is dirty, I the weather lately has not been and I just have not had time to wash the car. Maybe later today I will wash it, but tomorrow there is going to be a typhoon so is it even worth it to wash and wax and polish it today....
