this one seems ok :rolleyes:

That housing damage looks so different to the damage you get on the N/A 13B\'s.

I\'m assuming your tips went, as opposed to actaully wear damage on the housings?

yonner · October 12, 2004, 05:19:16 PM

there are some mad scratches on this side palce uc ant see them very well tho. bin :S

yonner · October 12, 2004, 05:20:59 PM

both rotors are goosed. i thot they were ok when i took them out but after removign some carbon there are divits all voer them and on the front one the tip seal has been welded in there

yonner · October 12, 2004, 05:22:20 PM

altho these look fine there are allot of very thin deep scrathces all over this is not going to be cheap

yonner · October 12, 2004, 05:24:35 PM

Well mate..... When i stripped mine the plates and housings looked ten times better than yours but they were still fooked

All depends on what your doing..... I think everyone will tell you that if your porting then get new housings. The plates, well you may get way with re grinding them, depends on the wall thickness..... I ended up getting new plates and housings, did\'nt want to cut any corners...

Cheers

Not looking good for you m8:( But like Fish said, at least you\'ve got a couple of spare side plates to practice your porting :bandit

So did the tips go in both rotors then? or is one housing better than the other?

Good luck with it all and well done so far, at least your getting stuck in and learning everything first hand.
