Lol non ghetto. Ghetto is cable ties and shoe goo. 

Good point! Was actually split more than I thought, so it's stitched up like a drift pig now.

Oil and filter changed, coolant leak fixed, splash shield repaired, oil temp sensor installed and sending to gauge ok.

But sadly couldn't get to the oil feed with the tools at hand. Going to need either a stubby spanner or a deep socket I think.

Who uses cable ties and shoe goo?!?!?!?! Dodgy bastards...

 

I've thought about doing something similar to the above to my stone tray.  But then I CBF and go back inside.  Stone tray is staying off. :D

Having the splash shield off does affect aero a marginal amount...

Same goes for the bumper and bonnet - get rid of em! ☺

I could only be stuffed fixing it because I had it off anyway to get to the bottom rad hose more easily.

Too much air getting forced in at Racewars.  200+ and the bonnet was rapidly flapping up and down on the windscreen end.  Unsure if it's a dodgy repair symptom from that prang in 2008.  Stone tray off and no problems up to 230!

Yeah it's like the struts are somehow weaker.  Not sure what the go is, never bothered to replace them.
