There's going to be a cue down at Slarks soon lol I got my pistons today. All exterior parts brought as well as subframes just the engine and gearbox to go then it needs putting together. When we all get our cars built we should all meet up at a show and compare cars.

Now now clive ,
This is not a completion (yet) lol.
I'm sure our cars are all different in the sense that some may be for racing,some for touring and some just for takin the piss out of modern car users :)
I am sure That they will all mean a lot to each of us . ;)

[bakermanisbakin]

Competition that was supposed to say :)

[bakermanisbakin]

True what you are saying about the Cue though :)

[bakermanisbakin]

I've got omega dished pistons I'm going 1330. Didn't mean in competition I ment to see what each of us had done to are cars. One big differance is mine is a round nose not clubman lol

[bakermanisbakin]

That is a big difference ...lol
I've got dished omega pistons also but in a 1380 block.
Neil reckons you need low compression pistons for the supercharger but thinks it would be ok with a Cometic steel gasket like the one minispeed do.

[Nick Warwick]

charger comparison sounds good haha, i will be using the shim to lower the compression until i can afford the pistons

[clivemk1mini]

Mine are low comp pistons to suite turbo/ supercharger if not will have some head work done

[bakermanisbakin]

It's a shame really as I had low compression pistons already
Maybe I will sell them on.
They are for a 1340 though

[bakermanisbakin]
