softstars .. d90s havent been on for a couple of years. i liked the look more with the d90s but they made it torquesteer alot more being a funny offset which its got enough torquesteer as it is. think the d90s are abit too fashionable now for me too .. dont like doing things everybody else does.

aye i know this has been coming for awhlie so its not like its any suprise , its alwasy slapped when cold which i have been told is normal with wossners but i was never convinced and now it does it when warm too. new pistons are nice and tight to the bores

no mate the mahles are going in as they are . ive got a thicker cometic headgasket and under piston squirters so shouldnt have a issue... there supposedley the piston to use for my kind of engine, the wossners should prob be ok for another build so il prob sell them, i just thought maybe wossners are abit overkill for what i want from my engine.

Yer that's pritty much same set up as mine but steve machined them down to lower the compression abit, I also went for 86.5mm for a nice fresh bore! Steve highly advises mahles, that's reason I went for them! Hope all goes well and I'll keep my eye on the thread!
