If that is an actual picture of the mini rod I would be a little concerned as the offset appears non existant.

P.S I've visited their ebay shop and they do some very good cheap intercoolers. The customer review are very good and they are selling these style rods for many vehicles so "can these actually be a bargain"

The V8 rods Im using cost me $450 for 8....
Visually, they look same style as those H-beams ( as do Eagle, as do Scat etc etc )

Now engines may be different, but Im turning 7000rpm+ with a 424g piston, and a 4" stroke.

IMO thats a fairly hard life for a rod, nevermind throwing some power at it.

Sometimes what appears to be cheap, isnt always bad. Mine are made by Callies.

So in some ways, £350 for 4 rods...is still damn expensive !!!

Would be nice to see an actual pic of the rod they have for sale though.

leeds/wakefield.

i have seen similar from china , and the imbalance is garbage, bare in mind theres little meat left to correct this,

old addage , you get what you pay for,

i have a set of arrow rods still boxed, not a mark on them and all within one gram, perfect freom the factory,

but then again whats wrong with modified rover items,??.

Does it mention how heavy they are ? Lighter of heavier than a regular A-series rod ?

i would have thought H section rods are OTT

i once saw a set of titanium H rods fitted to a mini. at the time they were around £800 each now that is OTT

The Group A Metros used Carrillo rods. Would they have spent the money for no reason ........... ?
Maybe they helped because of the weight saving ? not just a strength issue ?

I guess the weight-saving is what it's all about.

I emailed THS. They say the rods do have the offset, and they will update the correct photos.

The Intercoolers are very good for the money know quite a few people who have fitted them to other cars without a problem! They seem more than upto the job!
