More for the guys who regularly track their cars, but I've been looking for this document for ages now and alot of the original links on the other miata/mx5/roadster forums are dead.

MadKiwi might already know this one; but most of the track guys in the US have moved from Redline CV2 as stated in the document to Amsoil 2000 grease.

This was the only website I could find that has it in NZ for those interested:

If anyone knows of equal/cheaper greases that would work then don't hesitate to say so we can have a list for those who don't want to shell out for the amsoil stuff.

Cheers for that brownie! I'll be giving them a ring when I get around to ordering some new front hubs.

Be aware that too much grease in the bearing can cause extra drag which leads to overheating and then premature bearing failure.

Right, so how much is too much?

Skilletkid, I need to do that too. I want a spare hub and rear bearing set/hub in the parts bin and the grease will be required when I do a pro active maintenance hub change....sometime in the future (hopefully near future).

Post up the price of the grease if you call him, for us?

Haha we're on the same wavelength I think =P Slowly building mine up for 12 Hours of Hampton but I've got ways to go yet (no where near how prepped yours is =P)

Yeap, will post prices etc here when I get around to calling them.

If you ever feel like having some crew and/or cheerleaders at one of your ACJS races at Hampton or Puke I'd be keen to help

Just rang Wayne for the grease. One tube comes out to $32.75.
I'll edit this post when he gets back to me about a group buy price if anyone is interested.
