Hi Bren,
'Bearing' in mind the number of people that have doomed S13 engines, have you thought of supplying Forged pistons and bearings at all ?

The bearing etc shouldnt be any problem as Ive a supplier already. The pistons may be a little more tricky, does anyone know who makes forged pistons?

Of course I can supply HKS and the like but the prices will be as high as youd expect :(

ACL are just starting to import a race spec range of bearings.

Apparently they are already on sale in USA and are pretty good.

BTW they are an Aussie company.

Jezz.

It works out about the same to get them custom made as it does to buy from HKS, Greddy & Toda etc etc.

JE make them but won't sell them because there made under contract, they will make them for you if you sent them a design.

Just tell them to use Ramjet Designs ......er Design. That was the word I was looking for. Alls fair in business:D
