Incorrect. The ports are designed to push the superheated air outwards towards the edge of the rotors. If you reverse them it pushes it towards the center, effectively increasing the internal radial pressure and in effect reducing the cooling ability of the fins. They do work and serve a purpose besides looking cool. Why do you think top end cars have them stock? I've never seen them with the holes in that direction on a Ferrari, and even the rotor manufacturers say to mount them directionally. I can quote sources if you don't believe me.

On a side note, the direction of the vanes follow the same path of the holes. So I'm still right

if the vanes are curved at all. I've seen numerous slotted/drilled rotors that have straight vanes. They work either way with straight vanes.
But enough thread jacking

When I see the rear window then ill belieave... its to easy to shave the antenna.

Wouldn't the side markers also be MSP?

Look at the direction his crossdrilled holes are running on his rotors. They're supposed to go low to high not high to low. They're directional and he's got them on backwards

Sorry, I should have specified rotors

lol the holes have nothing to do with the direction. Its the internal vanes that determine the direction of the rotors. Nice try though

Actually... the manufacturer of the rotors (if they're a good manufacturer) will specify which way they should be mounted, slotted, drilled, whatever. What it's really based on is how the vanes for the venting are configured. If the vanes are backward, the optimal cooling does not take place. However, the cheap drilled or slotted rotors use symmetrical vanes, so then it doesn't even matter.

My slotted rotors for my Miata came with instructions on mounting. I know that StopTech rotors come with instructions as well.


EDIT: I should have read the thread before replying....

I'm really starting to miss her but i know I don't have the skill to fix her back to a point where I'll be happy and paying someone else to do it is out of the question.

Not a fan of those wheels but hot damn they just seem to... work here.

Always love the outrageous colors against a normal car.

Thanks, i'm digging em

just gotta aim them better (Then debate putting projectors in the low beams lol)

not really.. they could be p5 fenders or side markers someone installed.

 

[bazooka joe]

why not? go for it!

I know a guy in Pa. that has a cottage industry doing just that. He offers several different options and will do it all. All you have to do is send him you headlamps and tell him what you want.
PM me if interested.
