  1. Don't know too much about the 350's weight, what I do know is the 370's exhaust system weighs the equivalent of a small house, also the wheels, on a GT spec at anyrate, are bigger than a 350's. Again I've no idea of the differnt weights
  2. It really was a pleasant surprise the mpg for a 3.5/3.7l V6 Coming from a RX8 and having another 100bhp to play with, it made sense if I wanted to still have a sports car. Interesting that the TT is similar to the RX8 (on a good day!). It's alo worth bearing in mind that the better looked after and serviced car, will always deliver good mpg (except an RX8 ) But it always comes down to, if you have to worry about mpg, not that I'm saying you are but generally, it' the wrong car.
  3. Always the first things I pack No budgie smugglers for me I'm afraid! I rock thongs on the weekends I have two very green mankinis going spare Can't wait to see you and Polly in them
  4. Makes me want to bring Ellie, but she's mental with a drink in her That's a new coat fur ya (see what I did there, eh ) on your floor
  5. I know exactly how you feel
  6. The BBC/Met Office are the poorest forecasters known to man, I tend to trust only two sources, the hermit that lives at the bottom of my garden, who uses seeweed to predict weather and this;
  7. I would combo them with a less restrictive aftermarket exhaust, this depends on your budget. HFC's are a less restrictive catalytic converter, will allow passing of an MOT. The Garage in Motherwell where mine were fitted, offered an indepth explanation on the differences. The HFC's are from the manifold to either your Y pipe or straight through exhaust, to backbox. You will get a perfectly grown up sound with most combo's, as a 370 should sound, if you can stretch the budget, then IMO, the Akro is the best on offer, there are loads on here running different combo's though, Stillen, HKS, Scorpion etc. The HFC's alone will not give you your desired effect.
  8. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=23778 Have a lap at Le Mans with Johnny Herbert, the sound is amazing
  9. I'm that talentless and gormless for that matter, that I keep it on on a dry track But sound advice
  10. I haven't heard of anyone running HFC's with a stock exhaust in a 370, but I would guess that the stock system would not allow you to get the best out of the HFC's. * increase bhp, no, highly unlikely on its own * improve power delivery, no, not with that strangled bastardised excuse of a stock exhaust. * screw-up mpg, no, hasn't on mine with the Akro/Berk combo. * increase sound, yes, probably but better with an aftermarket exhaust. These are just my feelings on it, a more technical view will most likely come along any minute
  11. What a well sorted car you have there Can't believe I haven't seen this thread and not invited myself over to stay with you for a holiday yet Great vids , looking at running a trip to Le Mans next year for our Zed fans on here, would be nice to meet up Did it before with the French RX8 club a few years ago and now with Signatech and Nissan doing the biz, even more reason to get down to Sarthe
  12. Scotty, there'll be no fitment probs with the Akro mate It's well made and fits perfectly Chippy from the Channel Islands did it himself and had no probs, personally I'd bite the bullet and get a trusted, recommended garage to do it, paying very special attention to the tips I printed off the fitting pdf from Akro's site and gave it to the mechanic, warned him over the cost off damaging the system and who would be liable, but it's a pretty staright forward swap
  13. If you promise not to make me look fat and ridiculous (which will be challenging), then I'll step up What are the timings for this etc, as we're going on the train/boat trip? Strong airbrushing to my big red heid will also be required
  14. Rohypnol and viagra, washed down with a nice Pinot Noir
  15. Living on the edge mate, living on the edge
  16. Ok Martin, and what a star re minibus I'll be able to have a half pint of mild now
  17. Guess who's Tank Top THere's a story there, all may be revealed under copious amounts of whisky
  18. Ok, I'll collect the money. Martin who do I contact to book this? PM will do mate I'll call tomorrow if I have a number and contact. So, eighteen it is, anymore for anymore?. It'll keep me off the booze for the whole day
  19. You saying we're fat I reached my critical mass around 35, now most of me is just in a critical condition
  20. Och that's a shame Dawn We'll have a toast for "Absent Friends"
