I'd recommend CP yeah, Jp's have a rep for having a lot of slap when cold (my old ones did) but new CP's are virtually silent.
Just fitted then in Andy Jones' car as well.
Never heard a bad word said against them

ive been doing alot of reading up on pistons, and CP seem to be the ones to go for, a few forums say they are capable of taking more power than other forge items, true or not? i dont know

I also read somewhere that je slap when cold but it makes you wonder if its down to the pistons or bad fitment.

i will be going CP

+1 for CP.

Even better when they're coated.. just shame to lose that lovely shine.

Latest Photos..... of build

After a word with pete (see above photos of cr@ppy block) he provided me with a SECRET PROTOTYPE block.

he then decided it would look better in red.

finished it

then he started to get other things for it... like these

and the final product

a hover car... oily rag included

this one below shows the shamed .. EVEL cracked block... condemned to hell (actually petes new SECRET WEAPON) cant tell what its for sorry...

BTW, for the benefit of those more observant viewers...

Yes, the inlet cam is rusty...

Paul's head had already been removed, so we bolted on a scrap head so we could use the engine hooks to safely lower the engine asssembly....

As you were

Had a look round your car and block when I was last at Sbits. Aeromotive gauges on both pillars look sweet

Block looked

Frustrated Pilot · Post by **Frustrated Pilot** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 11:46 am

Cheers m8,

the Aricraft gauges are only like $50 a gauge

the fronts can be removed too. I have some aluminium rings that are the same diameter at home.. so when the 2's back to blighty i will change the front facia... not the dials but the surround bit.. as its a bit black and plasticcy..

just FYI, im monitoring oil pressure, oil temp, stoich, water temp's, intercooler temps, boost, egt and cant remember if thats it...?

but they all work SWEET

Any pics of said gauges? Sound interesting.
