Well I put on my roof racks to get some measurements for a roof rack basket, going to use that for the kids bikes.. ( as we lack a decent tow bar) .

So been slack and left them on. . was at shops and noticed on my return 1 side was unscrewed from the front one. . both bolts. .

I bit suss in my view. . or am I paranoid. . I find it hard the screws just happened to come undone like that. .

It's hard enough to get them for M35 stags as it is, would hate to lose them. .

Torx safety bolts and lots of loctite lol

dont put too much faith in torx bolts. anyone can buy a full set of torx tools from supercheap for under $20. granted it does make it harder to steal them, but if they are a pro they will come prepared.dont forget, while your in there shopping. professional car thieves are doing their shopping in the carpark!!!

you've agreed entirely with my statement. lol i think to the public eyes. a stereo is more valuable than roof racks.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
