well here how it goes. Was cleaning my engine bay since i had spare time today.

check all fluids and then the check the oil. open my oil cap to see a chuck of metal missing(where you tend to pour oil in, obviously). so i assuming that that piece of metal has somehow broken off and now swimming in my engine.

don't dare to start the engine after i saw this since it might cause some massive chain reaction.

only reason i can think of that can cause this is some asss using a hammer and a screwdriver hammering in order to break it off. but pretty much i have no idea how it is broken

sorry about the shitty photo. only have a phone camera on me.

but you can pretty much see a chuck of metal missing =(.

what should i do?

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
