Upgraded wheel bearings; complete fluids flush and added piggy back system, dyno tuned by best friend/tech.

Currently thinking of new stuff to make and waiting on material for more stuff to make.

What did you do to the wheel bearings? Lexus sells the hubs as a sealed unit. Did you take them apart?

Hammer? On wheel bearings? Why not a press? I hope you installed with a press, not a hammer...I could see maybe driving them out with a hammer, but installing with a hammer would be a disaster.

Where did you find "better" bearings? I was looking at the SKF X-Tracker bearings the CTS-V uses, and they're pretty impressive compared to the pretty basic double row angular contact Toyota likes. I would really like to be able to run these as they work well on a much heavier car, so the F would be a cake walk for them.

I would not be surprised if the RCF comes with X-Tracker wheel bearings. SKF mentions their OEM relationship with Toyota on their website.

Lol nah my giant hammer just kept the other people away from me, honestly my best friend was the one who ordered the bearings and installed them. I was just busy chasing people around with a 50lb sledge hammer.

Got a part number for them? I know I'm getting close to needing new ones. It would be way better IMHO to replace the cassettes and not have to buy all new hubs, especially if the new cassettes have a higher load rating.

i'd be interested to see some more pics of the scoop, as well as know what piggyback ECU you used?

Awesome! I'm also curious what that MoTeC piggyback is for
I have been planning on doing a full M1 series on mine.
