PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI!

They aren't forged though, but are stronger than whats fitted to XR.According to an article I read on Simon from Xtreme Ford Tuning the pistons are forged items in the new F6.The latest issue of Perth Street Car has an article on his car and it lists the conrods as billet items and the pistons are forged.
