  • wanted: pistons

    I am looking for some used pistons. I am hoping to come up with enough to make trophies for my rally in april. anyone have some junk laying around?
    If the lights are timed at 35 mph, can we assume they are timed at 70 mph as well???

    Heh. I have been supplying pistons for rally trophies since '95. How many do you want and do you want them with or without connecting rods? We don't do much used parts stuff anymore but I'm confident I can get you what you need if you can give me specifics. For a number of rallys I dismantled '80's era York piston driven A/C compressors. They make bitchin key chains but they are long gone I'm afraid. It will be old Volvo stuff which has it's own blend of irony really.

    P.M. or call me if you want details undisclosed. Otherwise lay it on me here.

    Vampires traditionally have.
    Best Bike
    Best scooter, back in the day. ('Zilla is a shoe in for that.)
    Best Rat bike
    Furthest traveled

    This was all in addition to whatever rally prizes we had for the event game.

      i am actually looking for trophies for my car rally. i need two per car, two cars per class, four classes. thats 16 trophy's. i may have about 5 already.

      i am not too worried about how pretty they are, sizes can vary, and connecting rods are cool. since i don't have much money to pay for them, i figure i get what i pay for.

      probably, if i get a few too many, i will have some left over for the vampire rally too. i have not been given any direction on this yet.

        I think the scrap guys took away all the blown motors we had But I'm sure more will show. When do you need 'em by?

            You should be able to get junk ones from a auto salvage business - might have to take an afternoon of wrenching to do it.

            I guess that might be what you mean by "order real ones".

                I poked around and have nothing at this time. If some do show up it will be half dozen at best. Most motors we work on are 5 cyl. Volvo.
