even the 147mm rods were used in the 2.3, it was the year that denoted the change in length

I'm not that far off finishing the intercooler pipes, started doing to battery cables, brought some cable for it, 25mm squared, not thick enough, just got some 50mm :biggrin::mischievo

Then, its on to the next bit, probably the exhaust
