Hole
Yesterday I had occasion to have a good look under the front of the car for the first time (the Canberra boys will know why!!!!).
Discovered a chip packet wedged in a round hole about 30-40mm in diameter about 50mm or so back from the leading edge of the bash-tray(??). Appeared to be deliberately cut into the tray. Anyone have a similar hole - if so, what the hell is it for?? |

Very funny. Yeah whoopee!! :rolleyes:
I'm actually being serious for a change. Anyone know more about this hole-thing than the two "comedians" and is prepared to flaunt their vast knowledge of all things RX8? |
Whats a bash tray do you mean the gap were the second oil cooler should go ??
Take a pic of your hole :rolleyes: and posted i am sure some of the more anal forum members will get excited and respond to your question .LOL :p cheers michael |
Fair enough, I've had a look at the manual but need a better "description" of location and item and or photo.

Thanks guys. I'll try to be more specific when I get a chance to look under again (not a daily driver for me and getting it out of the garage in daylight doesn't usually happen during my miserable working week).
Getting a clear shot may be difficult (not to say my complete ignorance about uploading same) - how about some measurements? |
I had a look and, if it's the hole to the pax side of the baffle/bash/barge panel, it gives access to a plug in the radiator -- I guess to make draining the cooling system easy to do without removing all that plastic. IMHO, no damage will occur if you choose to store your empty chip packets there :D

It it large enough to store an empty can containing a chip packet??? :eek:
|
Thanks Timbo - you're a gentleman and a scholar.
and no, xxup, it isn't big enough for the can but I did notice a coldy holder hanging from a piece of wire while I was under there!! :D :D :D |
I wonder...
Could the packet have been put there to catch a chip off the old block? :rolleyes: aaargh.... Amazing what can get stuck under cars. A while back a forum member spent days trying to trace an odd smell and eventually found a plastic bag wedged somewhere on his exhaust system. :eek: |
That was me... :o
BVD, those jokes ..... :eek: |
