Cheers Dan :) I think I'm going to stay away from arias as i've heard a few bad things about them.

 

Dude you need an engine stand lol.

 

LOL :D Dont worry I now have one but did'nt put this on as i needed to strip it first :)

 

Dont Mahle make pistons for F1? Nice choice!

 

I believe they do matey :)

 

I have lots of experience with Arias, avoid them!

 

I can get Wiseco ones, but not for 300 quid... I rate these a lot more than JE. I can also supply Tomei, which are very nice indeed, but expensive. Tomei do an 86.5 size, allowing another bore if things go wrong or for future wear.

 

Cheers Chris if you want to price up some Pistons i.e. wiseco 87mm then that would be helpful :)

 

Whats your mark up on that Phone call? Seem pretty pricey from this site:

Click piston -> 2JZ (at top of the page)

 

TBH if I end up spending a bit more on pistons I'm not to bothered as this project is not all about budget and I really like the spec of the Mahle piston set. Also they are one of the lightest Pistons around for the 2JZ weighting in at 319g which is very impressive! Possibly due to the skirt size compared to the CP's etc.

 

Mahle pistons:

About $850 which really isn't a bad price for that spec of component :)

 

good luck mate

 

Cheers buddy! Hope your is up and running! Will have to meet up soon I could do with your skills on my bumper :(
