Re: zxr kit pistons
Any updates on the pistons?  It's motor building season.

Re: zxr kit pistons
I had an email from Rob last night & they are getting close. Judging from his previous jobs & the manufacturer used these will be an excellent product. I have already put my order in for a couple of sets.
Regards,
Michael

Re: zxr kit pistons
I see there are Omega pistons on eBay, are these the items you were working on? If so can you give me the weight on the 1.0mm oversize?

Mmm, it must be them, shame they're so much more expensive than the alternativesAFM327 wrote:I see there are Omega pistons on eBay, are these the items you were working on? If so can you give me the weight on the 1.0mm oversize?

Re: zxr kit pistons
I believe they are similar in price to the Beet 3mm kit and cheaper than the custom pistons my buddies racing VFR's are having built.  I thought the price was OK when I saw it.  I'm curious if he can do a 2mm over?

Re: zxr kit pistons
OK, after a couple of drinks i thought after my statement I should really check, they are slightly more expensive than the alternative +1mm pistons, so certainly an alternative, but I shant be rushing to replace mine. I await reports from users with interest

No, no money ever changed hands, still hoping to get them someday though.
