Martilo,
No worries, I appreciate the conversation. You're right that aluminum doesn't like the removal/installation of the races. My billet hubs (and 944's) require a preheat when you install/remove the races. If you just pound them in/out you will mess things up. I recommend cleaning out the old grease and repacking the bearings on a semi-yearly (about 5K kms) basis. Also, the bearing preload is very important. I set up the bearings at .001"-.003" axial endplay. There is no way you can do the job right just by feel, you need a dial indicator. Following these instructions, the bearings will last decades.
The 944 rear setup works well with the RX7 front. You can get away with a stock master cylinder, but you'll have a long pedal. I'm working on adapting the RX7 master into a T1 chassis.
