     A  A  A AA  A Hi guys,
     A  A  A AA  A My new Wilwood front rotors took a bit of a beating at
     Laguna
     A  A  A Seca
     A  A  A AA  A (after a leak in the rear brake circuit caused the
     fronts to be
     A  A  A AA  A overworked) so I took the car to the Air Force base
     auto hobby
     A  A  A shop and
     A  A  A AA  A had them turned on the car.AA  For those who haven't
     seen the
     A  A  A process,
     A  A  A AA  A it's brilliant.AA  Turning the rotors on the car costs
     a bit
     A  A  A more, but
     A  A  A AA  A saves loads of labor, and it ensures that the disc is
     perfectly
     A  A  A AA  A oriented with all the other components of the
     A  A  A suspension/braking
     A  A  A AA  A system.
     A  A  A AA  A Here's a Youtube video showing the second of three
     passes:
     A  A  A AA  A [2][3]http://youtu.be/hXL5NRcfFqo
     A  A  A AA  A You can see the bright spot going around and
     around--that was a
     A  A  A high
     A  A  A AA  A spot caused by the rotor warping ever so slightly (or
     perhaps a
     A  A  A casting
     A  A  A AA  A defect?)AA  You can also see how deep the grooves are;
     the
     A  A  A machine is
     A  A  A AA  A removing material from the inside out, and you can see
     the line
     A  A  A of
