hi
please help me to chose one of the following options:
1.
2. http://www.minispeed.co.uk/content/arp-rod...w-mini-cooper-s
3. http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=...id=33884&title=
4. http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=...id=34181&title=

do you know difference between 3. and 4.? because 3. is apt "S" and 4. is not "S" so which ones will fit on my standard mini metro turbo engine, running on 10psi??


Thank You a lot!!

Nothing special!

Here is an idea, why not ring up Minispares and ask them which are the correct bolts for your standard mini metro turbo engine.
Then while you are on the phone you can order them at the same time.

I am puzzled as to what engine you have as you have lised them all

1) A+ engine
2) mini cooper s engine
3) Bini 1.6 supercharged engine

if you have a metro turbo A+ then the first and last listed will fit only

The best ones for running 10 psi are the ones that you already have, anything else is mental masturbation.

ok, that sounds good, but i heard that you need to change them especially if they are at least 10 years old :)
Moreover i have only 6 of them, but need 8,
so perfectly i need to buy all set!

i tried to fine standard ones but no luck :(

maybe you know where to buy them??? :)

it was first rod, so i broke only 1 and 1 stretch.

to buy cheap ones and replace them when i will upgrade my pistons (it could be after 1y)
