lol and whats that? im new to internals

They are "forged" but the standard isnt as good as say cosworth forged, omega etc
You can quite happily run 400bhp on them though, but the car is pretty much the same as any of its age, it started life out as a standard 265ps car and had a few goodies added (no mechanical upgrades to the engine etc, mainly wheels, suspension etc).
Its just like all the others, except ice blue

thanks for the reply toni, what it was was i have broken the engine on my 2003 wrx (bottom end) and it was this wr1 engine i have found for around 2K or a api rebuild with forged pistons (not sure what forged pisons they'd be) etc at around 3k (this would be fully fitted and 6 month warranty) wasnt sure what way to go
