lol, love work emails.

Larry gets home late one night and his wife, Linda, says, 'Where in the hell

have you been?'

Larry replies, 'I was out getting a tattoo.'

'A tattoo?' she frowned. 'What kind of tattoo did you get?'

'I got a Fifty Pound note tattooed on my old fella,' he said proudly.

'What the hell were you thinking?' she said, shaking her head in disdain.

'Why on earth would an accountant get a Fifty Pound note tattooed on his old

fella?'

'Well, for one...I like to watch my money grow. Two...once in a while I

like to play with my money. Three...I like how money feels in my hand.

And, lastly...instead of you going out wasting money on shopping, you can

stay right here at home and blow fifty quid anytime you want.'

Larry is recovering nicely in the hospital........

ha ha nice one damo...

i just finished cleaning out my bloody fish tank, took nearly 2 hours!

but then again, size does matter

thats a f**kin farm mate!

whats better...rotors, slotted and drilled, or just slotted? drilled 50 bucks dearer, dont really need it do i?

slotted will be fine me thinks

Dunno. Send me your rotors when they're ready and I'll test drive them for you! :)

drilling rotors that arent made to be drilled will cause stress fractures under high temps...

get the RDA gold slotted/dimpled rotor from the group buy thread, theyre good value for money

Just get them slotted.

People think that cross drilling is to aid in cooling but they are used to release the the gas that is built up between the pad and the rotor under hard braking. This gas reduced the pressure between the pad and rotor and there fore reduced the braking force. Slots do the same thing in venting the gas build up but they also reduce the glazing of pad by scraping the surface of the pad.

well personally i reckon drilled will be enough! brakes didn't fade after time for me! i haven't driven with cross drilled before but people tell me if you're a hardcore braker on the track then go for them! that's what i was told anyway

If you buy them specifically designed with the cross drill/holes already in then they're probably the goods but if theyre drilled after the rotor is fabricated you'll definately have problems. Check out the thread from last weekend where blue32 and some other guys took their cars up there.

Someone (cant remember who) had a cracked rotor which went right thru one of the outer most drill holes. Drilling thru metal undermines the structural integrity (Same problem the early metal aircraft used to have major problems with rivet holes developing stress fatigue on the fuselage which resulted in several aircraft lost before they changed their methods). Think of it like a piece of cloth that you stretch, if theres already a hole in the middle, thats the weak spot and thats where any rips are going to develop from...

Disc brakes these days are ventilated anyhow which keeps them relatively cool, the slotting as noted is to disperse the gas and the dust from the pads themselves. For a good read, check this out ; http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml

Theres a reason the RDA discs dont actually drill the entire way thru the disc. Go for slotted rotors before x-drilled, and only go to x-drilled when the slotted and dimpled ones arent good enuff (by that time you're paying enormous amounts for proper x-drilled rotors anyhow)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
