hi,it might be worth having the original pistons machined (skimmed)90tho or so as i did on my rs turbo (mahle pistons)which adjusted my c/r from 8.6:1 to 7.6:1 i then ran 26psi boost and 274lbft of torque! :twisted:
oh and harvey gibbs charged my 20 quid to have em done hope this helps

[Coops]

wosseners are the cheapest decent low comp forged pistons you will get, lookin at £500 for them, stan and most other clio specific tuners stock better makes of piston and as such cost more!

[J o n]

wouldn't touch Wossner guys, most cars I know of using those have needed more than one rebuild!

Iapelle(sp?) imo

[stan]

Your too right there Jon, Wossner arent the best by a long shot.

Iapel are £450 from me...im sure youve pm'd me asking this??

[Coops]

you qouted me more than that mate for them pistons when i asked you, so i bought the wosseners

[stan]

450+vat?? thats the price ive always quoted.

I think when you wanted them, they were out of stock, and was going to be 4 weeks??

ah right, may bad mate, plus the VAT! thats where i thought, wowsers not got that kinda money and plugged for the cheaper ones, seem fine so far tho, 1200 miles n quiet as mice!
