mcjacko1987 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Oh yeah I didn't mention this. But before the bonnet latch decided to give in. The splitter took a hit. Going over the bypass on way to work doing about 60mph I seen something on my side of the road at the very last minute as it was foggy. I couldn't avoid it by going on the opposite side of road to go round it as there was a wagon coming. So had to close my eyes and hit it Didn't know what it was but yeah splitter took a bit of a beating. I can sort it though. On way home back over the bypass I almost hit it again as it had been flinged onto the other side. Either when I hit it or someone else has. Anyways on the way home I seen what it was and it was a huge rat. Like I said nothing major. Nothing a bit of a sand and paint won't sort. But car is depressing at the min. With the manifold gasket rattling. Splitter taken a hit. And the bonnet stuck shut. Nice time of year to be fixing things like this too eh.

Krzys Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Oh dear! It could have been worse though like you say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjacko1987 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Yeah I guess it could have been a lot worse. I'm surprised the splitter has lasted this long tbh. I do go careful with it though. Shame about the rat but that couldn't be helped. Just glad it will be an easy fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjacko1987 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oki doki. So nooooooo update whatsoever on the splitter or bonnet lock.However, big news on FroSTy's behalf.She is booked in for the hybrid turbo next Monday!!!!! I'm going to be lost without her for a week but at least I have my full work shift during that time which means I don't need to use a car so all good. So what is she in for....Block mod to start with including new waterpump. Fitting of my hybrid turbo and manifold. Rs ecu cloning and wiring up of RS sensors. 650cc injectors. RS Revo stage 4 software. So can't wait to pick her up the following week. Also I'm getting a go pro tomorrow I think so expect a couple of videos before, and after lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjacko1987 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 She already is haha.But yeah will be more so. I'm used to the power she is now so going to feel like a new car again. Can't wait to pick it up.Just worried today as they are taking the head off to do the block mod. Hopefully no cracked liners. Not had any symptoms but someone I know who went for block mod recently had no symptoms but found a crack. So fingers crossed mines all good...Nice! It'll be a beast when you get her back!

Krzys Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah that would worry me too! So when's this one seeing the track! I managed to do a Focus RS in the wet at Donington yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to do a Focus RS in the wet at Donington yesterday Hmmmmm not sure yet. She will be on track one day. No plans as of yet though. Mine will already do an rs lol. Think mine needs some more handling mods before I'm confident enough to take on track. Needs polibushing and upgraded torque mount yet before I even bother I think.
