MJM Racing is proud to present the first rebuildable, adjustable and regreasable front hub for 4th gen F-bodies. As most of you know already, these have been a long time coming and have gone though several interations and lots of testing over the last two years. If you've ever autocrossed with 315 Hoosier's or Kumho's, you know why these were developed.

Pictures can be seen here:

Highlights:

1. New forged and hardened 4340 steel spindle made by Mark Williams Enterprises to MJM Racing, LLC specifications
2. Timken tapered roller bearings
3. Factory ABS retained
4. Original exterior dimensions retained for a "bolt on" application with no other modifications required.
5. Adjustable for bearing play, regreasable and rebuildable.
6. Comes with new ARP studs

We will begin to take orders on 1-1-09.

We need to get at least 20 pairs in the initial order to get the best pricing on machine work and parts. Please post any questions as well as stating your interest so a list can be compiled.

The initial price will be $650 each plus a core. That price will apply to this first initial offering only and these are only offered to the people of this site at this time. The core charge will be $100 per hub if you do not have any old ones you can send. Frankly, cores are necessary and if that ends up being too low of a core charge to get people to send cores, it will go up. Please be considerate and at least knock the big chunks of rust, dirt and grease off before you send them. If you have already sent cores to help with development your names are recorded and you need not send any additional cores (unless you want to).

Our lawyer has prepared a document that must be signed by each interested party prior to any transaction. A copy will be emailed to all who state they are interested in purchase.

Please post all questions here or call me, my PM folder is already a bit full.

So what would happen if one were protested for running these hubs? I'm guessing that an on site decision would have to be made by the officials. If they ruled that the hubs are legal, does that then set precedence?

Howdy,

So what would happen if one were protested for running these hubs? I'm guessing that an on site decision would have to be made by the officials. If they ruled that the hubs are legal, does that then set precedence?

There's no concept of an official "precedence" system with regard to rule interpretations. Unofficially, yes you'd think that would weigh in favor, but there's no limitation on a PC to rule or penalize one way or the other on a future protest.

I'm pretty amazed that they'd take three months or whatever its been on this and then issue a "no ruling" ruling. I can see asking for more information, but saying "we're not going to decide if they're legal or not" is pretty damned lame, if you ask me. I've never heard of another "request for clarification" that was blown off like this. Do they think a protest committee is going to suddenly be imbued with magic powers at an event?

The damn SEB is supposed to be where the buck stops and the request for clarification process is supposed to be used so that there's no angst over crap like this at an event. This is lame as hell.

Oh, and don't get me wrong... I think they're legal under the rules as written, would survive a protest, and that asking the question was just asking for trouble (and something I'd not have done), but still. Lame.

(and I take that all back if Mike wasn't willing to ship them a stock hub and one of his hubs or otherwise provide whatever information they'd want).

Color me unamused.

Mark
