Mark with regards forged internals are you just doing pistons or going for rods etc aswell?

Everytime I look im liking those carbon vents in the bonnet more and more!
the fish is looking in to forged pistons that weight the same as standard ones and the magic cam, at this point not sure what else
will be done at the same time .. will let you know when i get the full
spec from the fish smile

scratchchin umm is that a couple spots of rust on the arch?
had a big spin 4/5 months ago , the wing got pushed out by the tyre
in a 2x 360 spin at 70mph yikes
had to wait till carbon vents were done before fitting the new wing
so yes the old wing got rusty frown
