pistons/rods but there good for over 300hp if you go for a vxr (z20leh) bottom end come with under piston cooling as standard and forge steel pistons.
you can pick them up at a good price they come with recaro interior half/full leather cruise control ect.. but they sound awsome with pop and bang map on :)

Looks good does that, pops and bangs maped in 8-)

Speak to bradley, his mate chris has a mental quick one running over 500hp if iirc

Lavely! Wheels look soo much better in anthracite!!

cheers guys, and ye weels looking loads better less chaved up I say.

so today after work I set about the centre console it was sprayed white to match weels and really needed to go so stoped off at a scrapy to find one thats black.
also need some advice on cleaning leather seats as they really need bringing back to life.
