Hi Mate just to let you know i have ordered rods :) went through WOT motorsport and he orders from 034 motorsport US. cheers.

Nice mate, are u changing anything else while your at it?

My water pump failed not too long after i rebuilt my engine so may be worth doing that also as it so much easier with engine apart

ah lots of new bits. I'm rebuilding the head with new valve stems, new piston rings, new gaskets throughout (ofcourse), gates racing belt. and think i may fit a WOTbox now i have the new rods :). I only replaced the water pump March this year with a new uprated metal one so that should be ok :).

I have removed the SAI, the Aircon and the carbon canister whilct my engine all out :). Just need a better intercooler now instead of the silly forge one. But i still want the car to look subtle and OEM so no widemouth i think.

Sounds good mate & yeh the forge cooler start's to be a let down once you go past the k03s stage
