Looks like my engine, except cleaner, with a much improved intake and with some weird blue DIY stuff.........
When I first saw where the spark plugs were on the M43, I thought it was stupid, but when I actually came to change them, it was actually alright and very quick. The Fiesta I had before (my first car) had the plugs on the top-side so that was all that I was used to, but it really doesn't make a lot of difference if you can see the plugs or not.
I could do with a front upper strut x-brace though. How much of a difference will it make, even though I haven't got a lowered suspension and 15" alloys?

just makes it stiffer overall just feels better on steering more feel through your hands when cornering

Yeah, but I just thought maybe my suspension is naturally too soft for it to be noticeable.
I think I'll look into buying one! Do you have one Pirate?

I have had them on all my other cars and they do make a big difference. Especially in the corners
