If you want the actual conrods then get onto migweb and PM a guy called "boost!"
He's doing a group buy for 2 ltr lot but also has 1.6 ones I ve just odered mine £350 inc ARP's and P+P

4k really isnt a lot of miles... granted they may work till 104k... but theres always the chance... at 8500RPM theres no really safey margin left... but thats just what i think and i'm a big gurl...

Im wil to take the risk, the cost of fixing it will be minimal in my eyes.... new block, sod all, then its the cost of rods and pistons that i never had before, only think that could be costly is replacing my head lol............
*runs and ordered forged stuff*
4k is alot when i have an estimated engine life of 20k lol
