I felt like that when I first got my R :twisted:

 

[Stevie-Boy]

Well done mate, hopefully be joining you in the same situation myself soon. Although the replies here are worrying me a little

 

[pyrotecnic]

dont worry bout the things said on here. Thats half the joy of owning a high performance car. I got one and have never looked back. It has to be the best thing I have done.

 

[Jonny H]

Just treat her well and she'll treat you well!

by putting a 75 shot of nos through it, it should make your engine last longer. its also better for your gearbox.plus your head gasket should last longer. :roll:

oh dear, i attacked my new toy with my trusty spanners and discovered ive got a slightly melted piston! :shock: but lickily no damage to the bore what so ever, how lucky! will i get away with replacing just the 1 piston with a standard one?

Melted piston could be from DET... This could have damaged the bore...

You must find the cause of the melted piston or you'll just do it again...

If you are going to replace the pistons why not use Forged Pistons... They are only £300 for a Forged Piston, Ring, Clip and Pin set...

But then if you go that far then you may aswell change to ARP Bolts and new bearings too... Maybe some Billet Rods aswel...

£300!! i never realised they where that cheap, wheres the best place to get them?

 

[LoXy]

that is each one mate. i think...

 

[Dooie Pop Pop]

Hi did you actually kill your motor in less than three days!? :shock:

 

[leon2engines]

kinda i got it and it needed some "tlc" and instead of fixing it i drove it, now its broke but thankfully its only a piston so now i need to find someone selling a standard one or have it off the road for a little bit and get forged jobbies,
