The price of having rotors turned will most likely be as expensive(if not more expensive) as buying new rotors. Anymore the price of labor and they will charge at least an hour per rotor($65/hr at the shop i worked at) unless you have a friend/family member with a shop its usually just cheaper to buy new rotors. Unless it is a rare car with really expensive rotors most shops now just replace them cause its not cost effective to turn them.

Its the same way with calipers and wheel cylinders remanufactured parts are so cheap its kind of stupid to waste time rebuilding them.


Dude, are you serious, when I did rotors on my bird Checker turnd them for like 14 bucks.  And as far as Nitrous goes, I used to think it was kind of silly too, then I actually rode in a few cars that were already fast H/C 2002 Camaro, and Cammed 2000 Corvette, and felt how much faster the nitrous makes you... it's insane.  If my car didn't have 140k miles on it, I'd be sticking a wet kit on that thing as we speak.  I do go to the track to race though, so I guess it'd still kinda be for drag racing, though I'm pretty sure it'd be hard to resist using on the streets if nothing more than to just show my friends how big of a deal N2O really is.

n2o only lasts as long as the bottle is filled, hence a waste to me, unless i wanted to get arrested for doing like 120 on the highway. and plans for mods other then slight bolt ons is gone for now. 100% re doing the suspension, and brakes, trans and rearend before anything. I want it to handle and stop better then it did stock, before i even get to drive it

Look, let's just get down to brass tax ok? Just trade me your LSC, I'll give you my Turbo Coupe, and everybody will be happy. My car is running, requires no fuel work (Although could use one of those high pressure pumps if you ask me), and already has those 3.73 gears you want so much! Just put in a T-5 and you'll be set!

I can mail you the title via FedEx and you'll have it in a day.

Sound good?
