Nothing much happening here with the car.

Although I have done a few odd jobs recently,

Firstly I've been meaning to drill some holes into my wheel arch liner behind the oil cooler just to aid the cooler working. The oil temps are not an issue and never have been. But with the recent spate of hot weather I decided it wasn't a bad shout.

Also managed to trace a slight knock that I found last week to a slightly lose ARB link bolt.

Then I found what I thought was an oil leak from my rocker covers, tinyest trace of oil and I oil noticed it when cleaning underneath. Turns out the breather pipes that were tight when i fitted them, (so tight i didnt use clamps) have swollen and were giving the illusion of a rocker cover leak. I've put some clamps on them now but will be renewing the breather lines now anyway.

Lastly I had a Defi EGT thermocouple go down, ages ago and wasn't prepared to spend the £140 odd quid Defi wanted on a replacement. I took a punt on an eBay thermocouple only to find that although it worked, was clearly over reading.
So did some research and found a company in the US who make sensors. They managed to supply me a new thermocouple for around $50.
Finally fitted today and all is well again.

Also treated myself to some new Alpinestars gloves, my old OMPs were dead. Lol

Made up a template tonight for a cooling shroud that completely deletes the bonnet catch.
The carbon one has annoyed me for ages because of this.

Should look alright when cut properly, folded and coated in a matte black.

Custom cooling shroud now finished in matte black. Looked too clean to even put a FE logo on.
I think it looks nicely OEM
