long live the NB8A :P

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!)
