Hi guys am looking into getting some over sized pistons made for my worn fast road 1.7 8v.

Non forged and forged available, I was thinking 89mm non forged as they’re a lot cheaper and better for road use due to the piston slap of forged pistons when cold

Let’s say 87.5mm non forged for those just wanting to make worn engine bores good

89mm non forged for those wanting to make an 1.8 for fast road or budget track day/race.

Would anyone be interested? Price should be a lot less than what it costs for the forged pistons to be made for an 8v, which seem to be £1000+ I’m hoping well under £500 If we get some numbers

If it helps I got my 1.8 pistons made for about 750 notes, firm at Billingshurst.

I am interested but would want them for a 16V. Try contacting a company called MAR Motorsport in stourbridge West Midlands
