Rods are really quite easy to swap when the car is on a ramp. I know a bloke selling them for £250 and the labout I would imagine would be for a day or so approx. There is a slight risk of causing an oil leak though, as those crank end caps are tricky and also the spring in the round seal can be fiddly and needs to be seated in a uniform 'natural' position.

Honestly could not believe how big the gap between IC & chassis side was - definatly at least 40% of the airflow going straight through there!
I'd say it was a must for any Turbo owner to take the 'ear' off and just craft something to direct the airflow back to the IC

So did I!
They were much more 'spoked' tho and these are much simpler wheels and the silver really suits them & the car so they can stay as they are!
