Before this very off topic thread gets locked, I have something else to add which is good to know. Dalton McGuinty and his "nanny" government have created a new law in Ontario mandating 3 to 30 day licence suspensions for those who drive with blood alcohol levels between .05 and .08. In addition, these suspensions will go on the driver's record and affect insurance rates. This contrasts with how it was before where you got a 12 hr suspension with no record at all for .05-.08.
Half way down:

Sounds like a profitable deal with the insurance company.. Nationwide Mutual donates hundreds of thousands of $$$ to the PSP every year.. HMMMM wonder if that may be for speed law enforcement...
In this state there have been alot of situations of people getting busted for DUI when well under the limit of .08 as low as .04 I've heard.. The reason? When asked if they were drinking they were honest... Hmm sure makes me wanna be honest with the law....
(Canadian bashing comment removed after realizing the majority of the mods are Canadian.. :wink: )

All kidding aside for a brief second, we so-called "mods" have no issues with threads that wander off topic a bit... all part of the joy of discussion... assuming of course that both the topic and the discussion stay respectful.:wink:
As you were... !!!

Somewhat back on topic here, and I don;t feel like dedicating an entire thread to this till they get here.. .. I orded me some of those Prothe pistons.. I've been on the fence about it for quite some time.. Couldn't really find any first hand accounts of them ..
I did some research on Right Way Industrial whom are supposed to manufacture these.. They've been around since '64 originally based out of Tawian but now manufacture some in Malaysia as well.. Looks like they make for a little of every one .. (TRW, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, Kolbenschmidt)..
I talked with with the guys at H.P. Engines (my machine shop) about them them. They're pretty darn fussy around there and they didn;t have anything bad to say about products from this company.. I'll let everyone know what I and they think of them when they get here...

I haven't said anything good yet... I'll wait till I have product in hand..
Maybe I was nuts for ordering anyhow but I emailed sunday night with a question.. No answer yet... Generally if I don't get a response in 24 hours on a week day I figure they don;t want to sell me anything.. I shoulda bought them on ebay.. If they sucked I could have at least left nasty feedback...
And banana biofuel would be do-able..

Prothe pistons...I believe one of the suzuki guys is running them and Dakotakid has them in 2 different engines and says they are doing great. I bought some and will be using them in my rebuild T/D. Not going crazy on the boost with mine and they look good. They all miced the same size which really impressed me, so at least the QC is good on them. Still don't like the prothe guy...serviced isn't bad it is NON EXISTANT.
