So the Response was "Like". I maintain the responder does not know and as predicted wore the "Corporates Hat" Note a couple Dead Giveaways. The Texture of the Raw Forging ( Very Smooth as the Forg itself is Highly Polished and Produces a Like Raw Forging) in the Video Compared to What You have and the Pic I Posted. Night and Day. If you Please take a Pic for us of one of these Pistons Upside Down showing the Un-machined Texture. This tells a thousand words. I still maintain what I said. Well, I don't doubt you know what you're talking and I don't know enough about the forging process to debate the topic.... But I do find it a hard pill to swallow that Taida isn't selling DIE forged pistons. Irregardless if Fanny wore the corporate line or not, the company in the Video is who makes their pistons... Certainly looks like a forged piston to me. Yeah, I'll get a pic published sometime today or tomorrow. The Company in the Video is Wiseco Piston in Mentor Ohio. They Had No and Have No Relationship with Taida at all. They are COLD BUSTED You Have been Lied to There Response Boils Me!! Some sorry Corporate ! |

I should also add Wally Parks has to be rolling in his grave as he worked so hard to get this off the streets and on the track were it belongs.
They are advocating Illegal street racing.
Not just the legality but the safety,
Now all I've seen on TV have been full blown Race cars with NHRA #'s telling me the have been thru a NHRA Tech. Inspection and Passing all the SFI certifications.
There is nothing stopping a kid with a deep wallet from installing a big hp motor is a car with little to no SFI components. Many of these are SFI cert. Flywheels, Harmonic Balancers, Flex Plates, Drive Shaft Loops, Wheel Studs, etc.
Allot of these Dangers are not just the driver but the Spectators that Line the entire Street Strip at Real Steet racing venues.
So many times spectators are Killed or Seriously injurers when that cars make are hard right or left into them and then the Non SFI rated parts come flying off and take your head off.
For this I have mixed emotions on what they show/advocate by example on TV as "Street Racing".
we simply have a disclaimer with no details of don't do what we do.
Not Good!

Yes, Funny but Not, I use to do a product Display at the Republic of Texas Biker Rally. The old timers from Not Wearing a Helmut or just one of those little brain buckets with Ears Exposed have suffered Significant Hearing Loss from Wind Noise alone., Along with the Old Hard Tails, if not in a Wheel Chair were on Walkers and Caines. Here are always bugs or rocks flying up and hitting you in the face . you see so many moto riders riding with no windshield and no helmet ! I don't understand it. It seems like every time I raise my visor up , I get a bug in the eye !! Its not fun riding around with one eye open . Agreed, I used to get bugs in my eye riding a bicycle. Seems even if I have my face shield a slit open for some extra air leaving a stop light I get something in my eye. Then the best experience is having one of those Texas Sized June Bugs hitting you square in the Shield at speed, scares the snit out of me, like a bullet hitting. or a Wasp or Giant Bee is also equally fun |

Yes, you will have much more Intake Volume. I wear a Full Face Arai helmut that incorporates Noise reduction. it doesn't bother me, but thats me Same here buddy. I also wear a full face helmet. I have no idea why some don't were one. Unless you have a windshield , a full face is a must ! Yes, Funny but Not, I use to do a product Display at the Republic of Texas Biker Rally.

I would say the definition of Street Race cars is in a very Gray area.
I am well aware of the Challenges of Racing on a Street vs True Prepped Track.
Note the Concrete Street, They Have Been Shown to have the Blow Torches out and Sticky Spray.
They are prepping the Launch pad.
Once out of the launch area you are correct certain challenges begin.
That is One Reason the Turbocharged Cars are taking over the Nitrous Cars.
Once a Nitrous car Hits the Spray, it is a Tremendous Hit of HP, Hard to put to the ground and on Torque Converters.
The Turbo cars can be more easily De-Tuned, Not as much of a HP Hit and as Boost Builds Much More Tractable.
A Much Better setup for what they are doing, on There Streets. and TV.
Yes some have Lights but note many simply a HD ring around the headlight area.
Also note the Numbers in the upper right hand corner of there windshields, Those are NHRA #'s for a NHRA Track and are Chassis Certified along with the Rest of the Components SFI Certified/ Compliant.
They Do Not have to have these Certifications to run a Test and Tune Grudge Wed Night at the Drag Strip.
They also run a Spool in the Rear End in addition to a Four Link Rear Suspension, They Simply Wont Turn.
Skinny Tire or Fat Tire they are All Pure Slicks, Not Street Legal Anywhere, So None of these Cars are Street Legal.
I Run a Skinny Tire Mickey Thompson DOT Legal Slick, Only has a few slits across to DOT Comply.
Then I can legally Drive it to the Drag Strip.
These are Pure Race Cars Brought out in Trailers, Little to Nothing About them is Street.
Those Mustangs are still under Emissions Laws.
Id also like to see there license Plates with the Safety/Emission Inspection Stickers.
I'm not jealous, just see it for what it is.
A More True Definition of Street Racing is the car you can Legally Cruse the Blvd. on a Fri. night then meet up on that country road and go at it. No Blow Torches, No Sticky Spray.
We had guys more than 25 years ago bringing High HP Race Cars in on Trailers to race on the street.
We used to run in front of the Miller brewing plant in Ft Worth until a couple win disputes ended up with guns brought out and shootings.
Still run weekly on Luna rd on the NW Corner of Dallas, A Concrete rd in-between Warehouses.
Bikes on Thursday Night and Cars on Friday.
It is what it is and makes for good TV.

Tis a good article The Piston Ring Technology with the Circle Track Cars and other's have for some time been going with a very Thin Low Tension Ring package, Trick is to get it to Seal as well as old school thicker ring. With the Thinner package I need less Piston Material to Hold/Carry the Rings resulting in a Lighter Piston. The High end Pure Racing Oil's have followed suit with Lighter Weight Snynt, oils. The leading edge of this Oil Technology has been the Joe Gibbs Driven Oil and Maxima. Gibbs has sold this off to Comp Cams and is now known as Driven. Just sayin |

Hmmmm. Interesting article. I wanna switch to synthetic eventually, I only have like 340 miles so far tho so I'm using conventional. How long is it reccomended to use conventional for while you break it in? I've been doing a little research on this subject since I also recently installed a BBK, looks like it is one of those good ol' "Chevy vs Ford" arguments, some people swear over mineral oil, others say it is no longer necessary on modern engines with modern oils, even some vehicles come filled with synthetic oil out of the factory; the question would be, is the GY6 considered a "modern" or "old" engine? Is it ok for an old engine to brake in with a modern synthetic oil? I guess I'll have to do further research and make "an educated guess" since there is nothing written on stone about this.  This depends on the particular application, Cylinder Composition,Cylinder Finish, Ring Materials/Alloy. Many Factors are considered. Seems the best for the GY-6 with its Cast in Iron Bore Likes Dino Oil for break in. Current Vetts and Z-28's with the LS based engines come OE with Synth. Mobil 1 along with My Porsche. This is the Shelf Mobil 1 and Not the Racing version. |

Remember, when you install that uni-filter, it is going to be significantly louder. I am talking LOUD. I threw mine out as soon as I tried it. Look up my post on installing BBK's. Learn from my mistakes. Yes, you will have much more Intake Volume. I wear a Full Face Arai helmut that incorporates Noise reduction. it doesn't bother me, but thats me |

Sorry I have not followed up on this. I was finally able to tinker with scoot again today. I did as suggested and drained the oil, then added exactly 750 ml if 10w 40. I then rode scoot up the highway for a while, hitting an incline and mostly all WOT. All told only rode about six miles, but, unfortunately, returned to find I am again blowing oil. Any suggestions for my next step? How many miles on Her? What Type/Brand of 10-40? Have you been using the same Brand/Type since you have owned it? |

Hi All, before I go that route, I am looking at other possibilities for the oil leak. Since someone mentioned starter O ring, I went ahead and replaced it since most of the oil accumulation was right there. Here is a video before I removed it and replaced the O Ring. I have the PCV coming Tuesday and my carburetor 5mm spacer, I'll go for short ride then and report back. Hopefully that will do it...  The Correct thing to do before you may Needlessly Tear into it and Spend More $$$$ |

Skip the Brake Stone Hone, It has Short Finger Stones for Disc Brake Calipers. Stones will most likely Remove material. it indicates fine but I see no spec of Grit#. The Flex Hone 600 Grit is the Choice. This should not remove material and will actually raise material similar to a Knurl Job on the handle of a Braker Bar. Best Choice is the Nylon Flex hone brush.http://slavensracing.com/wp-content/uploads/flexhone-brush.jpg Dmn its pricey tho. The 3-finger hone is 400 grit (unless I messed up & copied the wrong one. It will work OK. The other is 600 grit, though twice the price. At 400 Grit will work Let me Point out the Three Finger Hone has Very Short Stones Specifically for Short Bore Brake Calipers Bores. Also The Spring Pressure on the Fingers is too much. If this is all you had and No Money with Lots of Experience use it. If not Purchase the Correct Tool. |
