I know this is a stupid question. Can you turn slotted drilled rotors?

I would suppose that this would be dependent upon how much material the rotor has..yes/no?

I have 77k miles on my car and have done two brake pad changes...haven't turned the rotors once. I figure, with my next brake change, I'll need new rotors. I'll go with the stock ones as they have worked fine for me. But then again, I hope not to have the car by the time is needs new brakes.

{.............rock Band Party...............}

ROCK BAND PARTY.......ROCK BAND PARTY.......ROCK BAND PARTY.......

Ok, I can only imagine how lost this notice will be upon all the discussion we have been having lately, in the most active thread in the forum.

Rock Band is out....Cesar and I have bought the game box with all the instrument goodness and songs a plenty.

December, I know, is a rough time to plan anything. The last Guitar Hero Party I offered up was a bust, so I will offer this up as an option for all those pre-winter holiday functions you will all get invitiations for.

When: December 8, 2007 following our scheduled monthly meet
Where: The Wescott home (Cesar, if you would like to host, I'm ok with that as well)


Info: We will have Rock Band, and possible Guitar Hero 2 and 3 available. Guitar Hero would most likely be on the HD projector (white wall style) and Rock Band would be on the 62 inch.

BBQ for dinner. I will be cooking, food options dependent upon who is coming and what you want. We did burgers last time...we could do the same or go cheap rockstar style with chicken or hotdogs/brats.

Drinks....I will provide Beers, all other beverages would be on a if your brung it, you can drink it style.

We have an extra bedroom for late night rockers who don't want to drive home, as well as an extra room with a large Chinese guard for which you could put air mattresses and such.

December 8, 2007-----Rock Band Party--------who wants to rock?

that, and/or you could drive mine around. Are we talking high speed braking, or just putting around a parking lot brake pulse?

Pulsating brakes when you're just driving around usually is a sign of warps rotors.
If they are warped, they cannot be turned.
Hopefully I'm wrong so you can save some money.
