Sadly, we are moving more and more towards a price driven market for building high power engines though, rather than a quality driven one.

Ive seen it massively in the Vauxhall scene as well for competition engines, a friend of mine who supplies a lot of motorsport cars is now selling 10:1 eagle rods versus arrows.

Why the hell would anyone want to save 500 quid on a set of rods that come with utterly no guarentees of their quality
Its the vauxhall world Chip, were all tightarses

For what I need the Eagles are perfect, I couldn't justify buying a set of Arrows for a budget build, the Sainz rods I got seem to be superb quality but they are far too nice to go in the snot machine
