Title: Too miserable to buy low compression pistons, so improvise!!!
Post by: paul_gt4 on July 19, 2009, 09:29:28 am

Seen this on the 6gc, where a guy decided rather than spending the cash on getting a set of wiseco's, CP's or whatever specific application for the 3sgte, he decided to have a go at it himself.
Here is how he got on......

WTF f**k did he use a bastard file to do it? Where do you suddenly get the idea to take a grinder to your pistons  :D Would be quite intresting to see how well the engine holds up or how long it holds together.  ;D

:D nice sharp edges for initiating knock :) Seriously, all you'd have to do is take them to a machine shop and ask them to shave off a few mil with a lathe. Hell I'd have done it for him!

There was a thread on a site somewhere where a chap had put a bottle of that NOS drink into his bike instead of the identically bottled NOS injector cleaner, now that made me chuckle.

LOL, septics never cease to amaze me with their stupidity!!!! ;D ;D

I like this guys solution:

first you'll need to prop the tank up, then remove the airbox. place some dynamite right there on top of the throttle bodies and reassemble. make sure your wick is long enough to run away from shrapnel. ignite the explosives and run like hell. make sure you're doing this in a remote location. after the explosion, go back and find any pieces of the bike leftover that have the VIN number on it and take them with you. call your insurance company and report it stolen. get paid and buy a new bike
