Hi people

Found these on the bay. Anyone know what make they are or if they're any good?

They look good ...The pin lube holes are on the bottom so they could be eagle

i'm waiting for a reply from the seller but the stats he posted do look promising and the price is excellent.

"Hello.The make is PANCHI,same as the VR6 rods i sell. A Japanese brand,i have a few sets left. Regards Geir" - was his reply. Never heard of these before? has anyone else?

[Jon441cc]

I've checked his history and there must be 10 people who have bought these
rods and given good feedback

I'd have a set, but i already have my SPM's

[RustyNut]

I've sent a message to one of the buyers asking for feedback. I'll post the reply when i get it. Hopefully, if it's positive, i'll be rebuilding my engine sooner than i thought :mischeif:.

I use these rods too. I really dont think it made in japan, but quality is good. Weight is nearly same as original.

isn't one of the advantages of installing custom rods the fact that you save more than just a bit of weight over standard? or do you have to pay a lot more for this privilege? or does it not matter .

[RustyNut]

The guy says that the rods are rated at 150bhp each. he has five sets right now and is getting another batch in at the end of October. I'm going to buy a set, anyone else care to join me and we may be able to get a bit of a discount?
