[s-cars] rod knock

[Mark Strangways]

Damn, that sucks...
But you tempted the Audi Gods with that 200 K comment...

I am surprised you have rod issues. Personally I think you should look to 
see what caused them. If you rebuild that block you should know why. It is 
not normal for an Audi to throw rods. Even well modded they should hold.
