lol awesome.. sold! now you laff in the face of the big block man.

on a serious note, you can try abroad, check out in euros from M-tech and so on..

otherwise a group-buy may be the only way.

well sbd will undoubtably use omega pistons, if theyre anywhere near the £500 mark you speak of then that'd be my choice.
You shouldnt really buy pistons by price.. buy by spec.
But dont buy until you speak to the guys.. theyve got the knowledge your looking for.

no.. ring and ask.
Cant remember if oli danker's 1.6 16v ran pistons from autosprint.. think maybe they were just pocketed..

I've got some Wossner high compression ones from Autosprint, don't know how much they cost as I got rods too and it came to £800, they're shiny and have nice pockets :)

You talking to me there? If so, no idea, will get some pics and start a project thread soon enough, although there wont be lots of pics as my mate gets annoyed when he takes it upon himself to do the jobs I was doing but not quick enough for his liking.

1.6 16v they're 79.5mm not the standard 79mm though. Considering selling them for low compression pistons.

Will get pics soon as well, none as of yet, they're over my mates.
