(and a front drivers but that I can do myself) I have the bearing and will remove the hub just need the pressing done. I have may tools but not a big press, thought some of you may have access to a press. Also I would like to get a ride in a Turbo or SC car. I plan on doing a 200RWP FI setup in the next 6 mos. and would like to see how one feels from the passenger side. Thanks

If it's worn in any way, you'll have to replace it too, along with the bearing. Did you get a new axle nut, along with bearing seal? Shameless plug -- if you join the Wild Rose Miata Club, your Edmonton-based club, you'd receive up to 22% off parts at three of the five local dealerships, plus discounts of all manner on other items (labour, etc...). Have a look at the club's website in the discount area for the full list. The club's October meeting is this week Thursday (Oct 15), you can join in person there/then. http://www.wildrosemiata.com As to getting a ride in a turbo'd or supercharged Miata, there are a few 1.8L force-fed cars in the club (three I believe), plus a few oem Mazdaspeed turbos. There are a few 1.6L turbo's and supercharged cars as well, along with one 2.0L stroker car with turbo. Given the lateness of the season, and the recent downturn in the weather, I couldn't say how many are still on the road right now...most likely all will be tucked away for winter by the end of October. But, within the WRMC, there is a wealth of knowledge on the do's / don'ts of forced induction...so yet more reasons to join the club.

Good call on the spindle - with that much movement it probably has sustained some damage. I have sourced a complete used bearing/hub assembly for $85 and I may go that route so I can do the job myself. I see myself joining soon. Does the membership allow me to get a reduced demerit and fine amount for drifting around corners?

No to your second question...but you can come autoslaloming with us next summer.
