Yeh I am from the Caribbean, an island named St.Kitts. Well there are 3 evos here right now an e1 and two e3. Well the e1 is out of it now I believe he just got new pistons (wiseco) and within a month of puttin them in he raced and well it does not sound how it used to. and one of the e3 has in JE pistons, he toook it easy for awhile. he raced recently against a honda integra and wooped his a!@.

Once you've put new pistons in you need to treat it like a new engine, i'd use a semi-synth oil and take it easy for 500-2000 miles then switch back to fully synth to let it all bed in properly.
