@Jetpilot I'd say you've either done a small bit of background into life costs of an ev compared with an ice vehicle OR you haven't. If you have you therefore must be confident that this information isn't forth coming and the ev/ice data that you so crave actual isn't there as possibly not enough time has passed to allow for fair compassion. If you haven't well then your beliefs are no more founded than my own as you haven't done any background in seeking out this 'data' and you are therefore happy to believe what you want. Data, pictures and documents can be forged and even if ones were present, you don't have to means to go away and test them yourself anyways. Therefore you either believe blindly facts and figures from government/government funded university 'independent' analysis or you believe in your own ideas 'possibly safer' In short, you say on your unfounded side of the fence and I'll say on mine.

Still looking wonderful, I'm selfishly happy it still about

Regarding SMR, please see the below data. Pretty clear which would have less impact on the environment. I don't drive an EV, however I am generally able to see the wood for the trees.

That's tite!

I'd need to have matching rad caps

Show me one whereby an ICE vehicles life cycle is more efficient. I don't mean that, it's just incredibly easy to say. It's obvious if you have cars all over the place producing emissions and more so in grossly populated areas, compared to a power station away from populated areas allowing for greater control of emissions. Even if ev's weren't more environmentally friendly, the consideration of waste is worth mentioning also. Clearly brake discs and pads last alot longer, no need to manufacture, package and ship engine oil, oil air and fuel filters, exhaust system, clutchs, dmf, gearbox and diff oils, spark and glow plugs all your auxiliary components. All those items multiplied by all the millions of vehicles in the UK alone. Again all the fossil fuels need to haul all that lot all over the country in greater volumes that the SMR for a full ev's and yeah to me it's pretty obvious the in life 'foot print' should be less. Very possibly there's a reason almost every manufacturer is offering hybrid or producing/has plans for full ev's. Yes to make money *what business isnt, however something will only sell if the consumer wants it.

Both ev and ice vehicles produce emissions during running, building and disposal. Only ev running emissions are greater controlled than ice emissions.

For the door handles I tried two different techniques, the one is wrapped in two pieces and the other in four. The handle in four pieces looks almost as good and went on alot better and should last longer. Water spray bottle, bit of heat and you'll do it.

Very different to your last car!! Gorgeous GM 350z, enjoy ownership

Might be something to do with your age lol........

Thank you Not driven at night as yet, but it will have reduced the light output no doubt. But the trade off for how it looks for me is more than worth it, plus the lamps staying glossy is a novelty I won't get bored off. Tbf the light output possibly wouldn't be no worst than a pair of really badly faded and yellowed lamps.

Deal - have a good one

Morning chaps, check the date and let us know @Jack94 @Maggz @MattV6 @Brummiestormer @valy @Bhupz350 @MattyBacon

I'd brim it with super unleaded and enjoy it pal, more safe - more fun.

Wow!! I thought my wheels were bling. These are next next level, will look great. What spec and what size tyres ahve you ordered?

Well we're only just up the road and can't have enough HR's, especially a full bolt on track monster!! 1. Davey_83 2. nissanman312 (Maybe) 3. 14N 4. OnlyAfro  5. Matt jb88 6. Jay84 7. CLASSIX 8. Killick.z  9. Cob1980 10. Negget 11. ILikeDolphins 12. Trott (Maybe) 13. Lewis Schwier 14. SHEZZA 15. buster 16. Andy_Muxlow 17. Justthejedi 18. 350Butcher (maybe)

Have you done the steering column mod or has it already been done?

Thing is when buying from a garage/trader and they send a driver to go put £10 worth in for road test, do you reckon they'd have put the more expensive super unleaded in? errrr no

Nice upgrade ol' pal!!! I've never driven a 370z hint hint mids meet wink wink..... Your 350z did you well but comes a time for everyone when you gotta move one I guess.

Deal Jay, be nice to meet you and see your sexy Zed

RUN OUT details for those interested, which will piggyback the OP meet. Plan is to drive out on a few twisty A & B roads around Warwickshire (no boring motorways), along some stunning country roads snaking our way to The Yeoman Harvester in Nuneaton. My little brother lives in Atherstone, so often take the country roads to get there and they're amazing. Leaving time from Melbicks 12noon or earlier if @Justthejedi gets too excited - I remember the M54 to SVM!!! Direct route would take 30mins, ie get to Atherstone and turn right - however a run out isnt about taking the direct route Address: The Yeoman Harvester St Nicolas Park Dr Nuneaton CV11 6EN Tables booked for 1pm with Zoe and planned route below. Should take an hour or 20mins according to @CLASSIX version of the highway code. Start point is the grey dot at Melbicks (A) is the swap order point if we wanna follow a different Z and (B) is the lunch - so @14N will be first to arrive no doubt.

Nice one Justin, a run out for lunch it is - i'll look to set something up.

I've not set anything up as yet, the garden centre has a lovely café OR could look to plan a run out for lunch at noon.......

^ Champion 95%........ that's a greater probability than me
