yes it created an interesting session of standing beside the car saying to my freind ,is that top of bottom end knock? ,as it rattled and knocked away ..

turned out the little end was smashing side to side in the piston,, and so depending on whether the piston was at the top, or the bottom, it was one or the other !

Stealing pics because of the rear arch mods and glad to know more about the performance because it's always nice to have benchmarks to shoot for.

Is 2500 the weight with driver or is it a little chunky because of the added weight for turbos and extra transmission?

Robert,

They look great! Did you revise them? I don't think I ever noticed the slight creases, before.

Best regards,
Bernard.
