Piston Broke?

[enigma]

Don't worry, just had the news from Mitsubishi.......1 shiny new piston direct from Japan (no one in the UK has ever had one apparently?) only £56.13! I was amazed! I daren't ask them how much it would be to change........a rough guess would be £1500-£2000 ;)


So do you think I should get one and send it to the USA to have high performance forged ones made????

just grab one of mine/zedy's?

Where's your national pride? Get someone in the UK to make them. :-D

Hmmmmm.........let me think, $800 or £1200? Tough choice!

:wow: Who quoted £1200? Thats ridiculous!

A mate of mine got forged pistons made for his Cavalier for something like £80 each from some place round here - I'll see if I can get the details but I havent seen him around for a while.

Omega and Accralite are the only ones I have ever used.

what brand are the pistons ?

I got a used one here you can buy and i will send it to the US

60 pound including the postage

for 100 pound will send a rod with it so you can get forged rods made too
