Mark Babb 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 $395... and if the race series follows that of the UK then these will be worth 3 times this as they are almost impossible to find..Hmm thats a thought maybe i should advertise them on the UK series forum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I fit them into a pre-f/l within the rules for season after next? Still trying to get my head around all this flat top, high top, higher top stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still trying to get my head around all this flat top, high top, higher top stuff you can fit any of the pistons into the pre f/l within the rules, however the lower compression pistons will not be the best choice. As far as I am aware there are higher compression pistons than the 9:4 but they are only legal in pre f/l cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standard bore 80mm, 1 size over bore 80.25mm, and 2nd size over bore 80.5mm are the only allowable sizes.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2937 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Cheers for the info Mark. I will get some one to look at my bores and see what size they need to be opened up to and whether these would be the go, take your point about the price of the other options! If I remember right you can get away with over-sized rings on a smaller piston, but it's not ideal and is only a short term option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
