Feels like a stupid question but I noticed the other day that the rs has a tiny amount of play in the rh outer tie rod end, obviously I want to replace it sooner rather than later but I noticed it has a curved end on the rhs and a straight one of the lhs, I knew there were two different types but both on the same car seems wrong to me, so any ideas which type I should be running? Is it chassis related or rack related?

Curved was to clear the shitty high offset wheels on the low models. Don't think GT's and RS's need them. No harm in mixing them either, they are functionally the same.
Put the car on full lock and check the clearance if you're worried.

<Shale>: Blighter doesn't really have an accelerator pedal, it's more just a loudness pedal. You can change volume, but you won't go any faster.
<mjlqtown>: (Southern US accent) I'v excised the demon! This car is now clear!
<Reuben>: I feel like when you stomp the throttle in Blighter, it's like you've startled an old man!
