Okay, you still have the Adapter from Stephan. Great. On the picture of you dash connectors it lookes like the alu restrictor.

What happend to your pistons? Sand colored?!
You honed it 20k km before, I hope?

Hi Acki

Yes i used the restrictor provided by Stephan .

My engine was rebore once only on the fist rebuild when going from stock Pistons to the Forged ones .
I have lightly re honed the bloc again with new pistons rings.

I purchased in Dallas a cleaning product @ Jotech motorsport , it is a simple US made pistons cleaner , nothing else .

Thanks for the compliments , your car is probably way more powerful , i can see it from your avatar
The suspensions i am running now are not the top , just cheap coil overs that i will change to KW's Variant or B PSS B14 if i can afford one go those .

i drive fast and do "cornering" a lot at hight speed , without the front bar ( the lower one) and the cheap suspension, my car was sliding ( still hard to notice) when i was making fast turns , but the rear bar helps much better ( to my opinion) and to be a chassis is not just adding one piece , i need to combine bars, shocks and other including tires , to really improve the stability .

The "restrictor" from Stephan is only a adapter because of the thread.
Was slight honing required? Most guys polish the piston chamber side.
Do you have more picture from the cleaning? (didn't looked all sides of this topic)

Yes it is only an adaptor , you are right

the honing was not required , the cylinder chamber was clean , i still had to get it checked out by a professional , it was not a real "honing" but a polish as you mentioned .
