You were just coming up on a year of ownership weren't you? What was the reason for parting ways (if you don't mind of course)?

changed plugs and coil tubes on the passenger side then removed the drivers side rocker cover to put a new gasket on ,
now ive got to fathom out how to put it back together without removing the black box that connects to the injectors
(how do you you get that box off) I cant see the clips

156k and it looks clean in there

There is one clip for each connector that you can pry loose with a small screwdriver. Or you can do it the easy way, and unbolt the two 10 mm nuts that holds in it place. Take a grip with one hand on each side of the box and just pull it out. The locking clips in the connectors wont brake they will spring by the locking pin. This has worked wery well for me everytime i removed them

I cleaned my engine bay: it was a disaster after my mechanic at the last oil change did not replace the o-ring on the oil filter and it leaked like a sieve. My never had a drop of oil on it engine ended up caked in oil/dirt mix. I did my own oil change last week and cleaned the engine bay today with scrubbing bubbles. I will do one more scrub before I put the skid plate and front chin aero parts back on.

Gave old Betsy a thorough scrubbing inside and out. Got the claybar out some polishing compound and some carnuba wax...first good detail since she left the showroom floor I think. PO did not car except to maybe wash the outside twice a year.

Passed 130k this morning as well

Installed an E-Light Ultimate to get the three-blinker, angel eye DRL, and auto folding mirrors. Auto unlock on key out is not working at this stage - think I might have to add an extra wire per this thread, but waiting on the company to get back to me confirming it.

Over the last couple of weeks also changed angel eyes to LED, and updated my maps to the last Australian version (2014 ).
