they look really really low miles... like maybe a few hundred?

They look good to me, what are they, $400 - $500 new? Go for it.

definately worth the $200! Arias pistons are some of the best! highly recommended from me!

For just $200 it would be a hard deal to pass up as long as there aren't any cracks or anything.

FooK 06-18-2005 10:36 AM

Re: Arias Forged worth $200?
 
supposedly no cracks, guy thats selling them says he bought a fully built motor, and parted it out, kept the crowers for himself.

says he does that pretty much for a living.

They look like they're in real good shape, I'd go for it....its only 200 bucks.

Re: Arias Forged worth $200?
 
the only thing i cant figure out is the part #.

The six digits on them don't match anything in the current sport compact catalog. they all start with a 3 in there.

The guy said he called Arias and got some rude lady who just popped off an answer of 8:1 compression, but Arias didn't make anything but a flat top and a 9:1 dish piston for this application, so I dunno. They are 75.00mm, he measured them.

Sounds a bit fishy, get on the horn with Arias first.

By the way he said their 75.05 not 75.00..

crx4life2003 06-18-2005 12:02 PM

Re: Arias Forged worth $200?
 
This is actually very similar to a position I was in. I bought a set of arias pistons with forged I beam crower rods for like 500 bucks. When I received them I got a set of beat ass pistons...long story short I had to call arias and they didnt know what the hell they were. I would never buy used pistons unless I knew the guy.....bottom line ;)

Re: Arias Forged worth $200?
 
me and ali had the same situation, arias didnt know ehat their own product was, they ended up being some wack ass old school arias pistons with 10.7:1 compression...

pssssh... 200 bucks for some used arias forged pistons... that's a stinkin' rip off. To show the guy up and teach him a lesson, just ship them to me and I'll reimburse you the 200 back. Cause that is a bogus not worth it at all deal. >:(

So do you still have Big Poppa Murdoc's addy? ;)
