Damn...I just got the message from Express.Because the address and telephone may be wrong or nobody at home,David Calwell didn't get the D3 in time.I guessed he was using STS12 STD at Australian National .
To OZDC,
If you are here,I ask express to transfer the package to PHS.The package is at Melbourne,but no receiver.

But is true... putting a straight new bearing is the best can be done.

I thought you were advocating the procedure with a used bearing - I must have suffered a slightly "blonde" moment.

Yes, I have a question.
What is the ABEC rating for, say Nova, rear bearings.
I would expect there is a trade-off between the precision and the temperature rise expectations of the application.

One good source for bearing balls is http://www.mcmaster.com I buy there much of mine bits of tooling and raw sources for materials (AL alloys, Steels, Delrin... you name it, surely they got it...).
Regarding your 'blonde' moment....
Better to recolorize your hair in Dark Brown or Redhead (those last are more clever...)

I'm in Melbourne dino.tw . . . . maybe I can take it off your hands!
It looks like OZDC ended up in 12th spot - the results show him driving - STS / STS D3.
Josh Cyrul ended up 18th.
and Tommy Lee at 34th - looks like they both had some troubles.

any facts to prove your claim that your modded engines "are the fastest in the touring car class" ?
I am using NovaMAX right now and soon the STS D5, how do these compare with your work ?
