According to this forum very few things are quicker than a 90hp diesel with a couple of mods.

I prefer straight up answers to riddles, if there's a good reason I should spend a fair chunk of my hard earned on these rods then please do enlighten me?

known for there poor quality if im completely honest normally have to buy 4 sets to build one good set. They normally come way unbalanced poor coatings just like their pistons. Saenz, Arrow or even Robinson engineering far superior products.

poor design and poor manufacturing tolerances, as Stef said, go for the ones that proper reputable race/rally engine builders use.
you'll pay 550-600 for good rods.
also, std rods are good in n-a builds for over 200 bhp at sensible rpm.

Wasn't that DP engineering build running over 400hp on stock internals with just a decomp plate?
EDIT: found it, maybe it's got something to do with it running on E85? http://www.dp-engineering.nl/projects/p-...2871r.html

E85 will add a fair chunk to the gains especially with boost.
added - what a horrible shape to the power curve! that would be barely any quicker till 4.5k then a world of wheelspin and gearbox destructioN!"

Granted it's not a great curve, but it's a track car and it's hardly going to spend much time under 4k on track.

Has anyone ever told you that your really ugly and have a fleet of shit cars coupled with an incredibly shite trolling / banter ability? If you answer that question with a No then i will be greatly surprised because its pretty accurate.

If by that you mean rallye then yes!
Just stood back in the workshop one day and realised that 1 project at a time is enough. more than doubled my money on the 106 so just made it happen
