Default Need to get rid of NEW pistons

Ok guys, these are 100.00mm, 100.50mm 104.00mm Mahle pistons for our cars ALL ENGINES.

My supplier has a few sets in stock that he wants to get rid of, since there are only 3~5 944's here in Dubai, so he knows he can;t get rid of them.

Check this out, he is selling them for $600!!!! NEW PISTONS!

I checked the prices and they cost over $1200 in the US, so that is HALF PRICE!

Rings and pins included, please PM me or mail me at hosrom@eim.ae for more details.

Pistons are not for all cars.

944 NA early cars, 88 NA, Trubo, euro, 944S all use 2.5L pistons, but all have a different dish depeniding on the car type. Some are worth much more than others. Also in general an oversized piston is worth alot since there are no/few junkyard replacements.

Not that the cutouts do anything for the pistons hiting the valves. I believe those may be the highly sought after non U. S. high compression pistons if they are originating from Dubai.

Do you also have a set of forged Kolbenschmidt KS pistons/connecting rods for my 1983 motor? My engine was purchased as a short block used for $80. I want another set of them, because they are so light, and wear exceptionally well. I know of only one place who carries 2 sets NOS....but is asking almost $3000 each set!

Guys, my supplier is just going to literally throw them in the bin.....

There are 5+ sets of each pistons and no one wants them?

I WOULD buy them all for future safe keeping, but i can't.

It is a real shame that those rare things be thrown........NO ONE wants any? they are REALLY cheap!

Tried emailing some of the big 944 parts people? Maybe Danno wants some, or Paragon, something like that.

Try tipping off just the rennlist sponsors. How many times have one them given US a group buy? Might as well return the favor.

If he's going to throw them away, I'll take a set for shipping costs. :-)

Same, if it's for shipping costs only I'll do it; otherwise I already have a set of 951 pistons for my turbo project.

I'd be interested in the 100.5mm for an '89 turbo S but only if I'm certain they'd be exactly what I need. I'm beginning to gather parts for a rebuild now.

The cutouts are valve float insurance.
