My tunes were provided by FA20Club and Visconti. (Whether one of these tuners or both is garbage is possible)

I don't think the pistons were the issue on my failures, though i can report, i have looked through my initial engine's teardown photos to find one piston had melted down. The second engine though had sound pistons, and wavy and snapped rods. I've got chunks of block that i keep in a baggy on my desk as a reminder. Gotta beat myself up sometimes.

1 for the rods ----- 1 for the pistons

For the guy who said my GF was in the car, my wife actually was during one of the runs. The hilarity that ensued after a dinner and night out, followed by a highway pull between exits, and ended with the thorn in her side exploding was glorious for one of us.

Not trying to start a war here, just delivering my two cents based on two junk engines. I'm technically on my fourth FA20 now, between 2 FR-S's.
