So after talking to everyone and anyone it seems I am looking the same price more or less. The 25% tariff hits hard. We are talking $1800cad for a set of pistons. ~1400ish without tariffs. This includes some heavy duty wrist pins. After calling CP directly they hooked me up with a guy who...

I’ve got a box of blown up Wiseco pistons lol. I also have some oem Honda pistons hanging around. I guess the biggest thing is declared value. It’s gotta be low, then just hope they don’t check part numbers

I am legit thinking of this as the solution. My parents have a time share in Buffalo they’re there all the time but of course this time…they ain’t going until July. Fuck lol. I am considering shipping to my homie in Baltimore then he reships and puts the value as 200$? Maybe?

Yup absolutely agree. Got a great quote on CP from realstreet performance. They reached out to CP directly and spoke to an engineer. CP recommends I get their upgraded wrist pin for my needs. Think about how insane that sounds lol. RPM really is a level of stress beyond boost. I am basically...

I really hope so. I am big time bummed about it. Sad more than mad even. I guess I need a set of pistons now. Fuck. I’ve decided I can’t toss the block. I feel like maybe it’s a sign. I’m not meant to have Wiseco in my engine. My first Wiseco pistons took out my entire engine. Now my...

Yea. I can’t say for sure but it’s possible. At this point I’ve written it off. I can’t do shit about this. I’ll need to find pistons that’ll work with this block if I want to finish this engine. Fuck sakes

That guy might have it might not. Literally no idea. Might just find whatever the cheapest piston is with similar specs and send it. Idk. I’m pretty annoyed

we just heard from the guy we think took my pistons. He swears he doesnt have them and has told us to shut up about it. They are confirmed gone for good. I am just feeling beat down. motivation is gone. i have registered for 3 race weekends so far, paid in full. Ill complete those then...

i will begin a part out soon. rods and rod bolts will go for sale first. since i dont have the box ill probably get 1/3 of that 1250usd setup. wonderful. Block is useless as im not buying wiseco shit again so thats fucked. what a fucking struggle. I dont think i will make another season with...

Went by the machine shop. Finally they were letting people pick stuff up. Seems I was notified late. Somebody stole my fucking pistons. Checked every inch of the shop. High and low. Not only were all brand new looking things gone but my pistons and arp 2000 bolts as well as timing cover bolts...

Car hit the scales today. not only is it 200lbs lighter than I guessed but my eyeball setup is clearly crazy good. This is before any adjusting lol. Unreal. Light weight battery not yet installed. Working on a mount for that. Oem weight 2886. Not sure how I got so much out of it. Still full...

so previously, the car was a tripod king. always three wheeling everywhere. This was due to almost no droop in the rear, then of course the rear bar eventually just ends up lifting that inside rear wheel. Always during trail brake/initial turn in. I have much more droop now, and i am thinking...

No front bar seems to have added some compliance up front. Something. More grip. Way I see it, more rear bar makes the car more loose, more front bar usually tightens it up, adds understeer. No front bar should be as loose as it gets but I will definitely roll over the tire. I’m going to try...

So technically, I don’t run enough front spring rate to justify deleting it. I already roll over my tires a tad as is. I would need to increase spring rate by a good bit or more camber which I don’t wanna. Now, the car would be loose AF with the front bar deleted and that might be good, or way...

Loading it onto the uhaul is going to be so much easier now too. It was always a slight pain in the ass before when it was much lower. Car feels good and I’m already getting use to the ride height. It looks functional. On the hunt for a base model sedan front sway bar now. It’s the softest...
