Are you sure the rotors are on the right way? Reason i asked is because i have the same rotors and mine are the other way, i double checked it seems like the vains on the pmu scr pro rotors follow the direction of the slids...

[gotRICE?]

Yeah those rotors are on the wrong side hehe i just did mine today. Whoops!

[omnigear]

i though the vain is suppose to go the rear? it goes from the center of the rotor then out or its the other way?

[Plattsy]

great thread.

Air should be coming from center of rotor to outer rotor

that dosnt make sence to my brain, surly it should be sweeping outwards not draggin inwards?

[Aggroman]

veins point back, simple..

I would tend to agree by looking at the design. Disc designers are a lot smarter than me however...

I guess it must act as a vacuum by creating a low pressure zone outside the vanes which draws the hot air out from the centre of the disc outwards. Makes sense in that it evacuates the hot air and dust away from the centre of the disc.

[pipster11]

the vanes would work exactly how a turbo works

sucks in cool air from the centre, and propels it using centripetal acceleration (flings it outwards)

having them curved just helps draw the air through the disc

[B-rice]

yh i thought its for expelling dust build up through the centripetal force so the veins move in a cutting blade anticlockwise manner. Hes probaly fixed it anyway any updates?

[djr81]

Vanes are the ones on the inside that pump air. They should sweep backwards.

Grooves are on the outside and remove pad dust etc. It doesnt matter which way they go.

You orientate the rotor for the vanes, not the grooves.

As an aside the Project Mu rotors dont have proper vanes anyway so this stuff doesnt matter very much.

[GH05T]

AAAaaaah, ok thats where i was confused. feel stupid now

to busy looking at the outside grooves

Looks too good to take out on the street now Top work!

Insane work, well done... Going to be so bad driving on the road for the first time, I bet you will be able to hear every single bit of sand and dirt hitting the undercarriage

Thanks Simon, maybe...but there will be so many other epic noises!

Well I think we can safely say thread is delivering on title as promised...

How many tooth brushes have you gone through to get it to this state???? How on earth did you get the plugs, wiring, hose clamps so clean... man!

Love the dedication well done.

Cheers Paul. Mate I am well and truly over cleaning I can tell you that.

This car should not be driven. It should be stored in a garage that is cleaner than a laboratory

Ha Bryce, I don't have that level of will power!! I NEED to drive it.

Thanks mate. With everything I have learnt I think I will need to buy another one to restore and not drive, one day....
