Did you really think you could get a set of forged pistons for 125 shipped? lol, I remember seeing that guys thread on honda-tech awhile back and I ended up doing some research on all the suzuki boards and everyone kept thinking they were forged but they are not.

Well that makes them not so special. I read so many threads about them being forged and ----. God damn it.

Your thinking of the supra pistons



turbopanda on honda-tech was doing a B16rod/Supra forged piston combo for D-series awhile back.

Can't remember I thought dude was selling rods/pistons for like 450 or something?

thats pretty decent considering just a set of forged pistons alone are around 475.

Why don't you guys just buy my shortblock/longblock when I take it out of the car? It's already built, put together right, and broken in. Probably $1500 should cover the whole mufuka.

Jeff, remember that little "problem" that has allowed you to be on so much? I'll trade you gossip posts. Mine's better.
