Zip ties and race cars go hand in hand...... amazing the number of race cars held together with those little bits of plastic......as an added bonus - they are lighter than bolts

Yeah Zip Ties are bloody useful as an emergency/cheap-ass fix-everything tool (I'm yet to find something better for holding number plates on). I've got an awesome zip-tie battery clamp in my 180B  Doesn't exactly fill you with confidence when they snap while you're tightening them though...

Half a 2L coke bottle and a garden hose can make a beer bong too!

I have hundreds holding my car together. The oil cooler is held in place with zip ties, they are everywhere... especially with all my extra wiring.

I think they are good depending on their application.
Using them to hold fuel lines underneath the car is bodgey.
To the bloke out there that sold my mate a turbo a12 1200 many years ago, I ask you this;
Do you think it was wise to use cable ties to hold both rear shock to their bottom mounts? I consider that very foolish.
