long live the NB8A 
on another note, I read through the cardomain for your old car, just wondering if there are any downsides to getting the standard rotors slotted like that??

Can't say I found any. It was done by a motorsport specialist machine shop, but I'm sure anyone with a ballnose cutter and a brain could do it competently. (just don't cut the grooves below minimum thickness - which means they also function as wear indicators!)

looking at your blog i found this
that, sir, is alot of torque!
I got her back just in time to go to the club dyno day.
73.7 kW of power, and 1993 Newtons (?) of force (analogous to torque) at the rollers of the Caulfield Jag dyno. This is (as I recall from previous years) pretty much normal for a standard NB, so all is good in that respect.
