TT350

That probably won't get any better! Unless you can resist the urge to keep modifying it, especially forced induction.

Looks awesome mate. A well painted engine cover always transforms the engine bay.

And that's all that matters! The 370Z grew on me. I preffered the 350s smoother, curvier lines. But, now I prefer the 370. Especially from the side. It looks more like a modern take on a 240Z. Which is a good thing. There are many cars I want. I change my mind often, but the 370 keeps coming back into focus because, i loved owning my 350. If I get one, I (probably) won't have it turbo converted! Probably.

Just read this whole build. Really nice Z. I like.

The best induction mod is a high flow panel filter in the standard air box I'm told. Although a cone filter will sound better. Exhaust, spoiled for choice there. Can take out the cats and have sections made to bolt on in their place. Americans like to do "muffler delete" which is basically just the back boxes eliminated and just having pretty much a straight pipe from manifold back. Either de-cat with muffler delete, or cats in and muffler delete. A set of stainless manifolds will be good, too. I'm not sure if going from 2 1/4 pipe to 3" will help or hinder. Personally, I don't know mind the exhaust being louder on the motorway. It's a small trade for the sound it makes round town with the windows down on a sunny day. If you get all your breathing mods, make sure you get it tuned on the dyno after.

Some people go staggered. I had 15mm front and 20mm rear. If I could have only one and no other mods on aesthetics, spacers are what I'd choose. The Z is already low enough. I'd actually soften the dampers and get stiffer anti roll bars. I have some great B roads near me and, my Z was far too stiff to give full commitment. Banging and bouncing. Then again, B roads are more revvy hot hatch territory. What other plans do you have?

You'll love the subtle but big difference they make. Really gives it a more squat, purposeful stance. Have you gone for 20 all round?

Ohhh I'm not sure about the Matt black! As long as you like it, that is of course the main thing.

Not THAT kind of revving!

I see a car with a familiar plate!

Interesting to see how polarized opinions are of the newer Z cars. People either seem to love or thoroughly hate them.

Well, I'm half Scottish! Only right I return home once in a while. Last time I went to Edinburgh was maybe 5 years ago with my ex for the Xmas markets. They were fantastic. I never knew there was a museum there so, I'll definitely look it up. I need to get a kilt in my class colours and pattern. Johnstone Clan. The motto is "Never not ready". "A powerful Border clan which held the central lands of Annandale. The name Gilbert Johnstone appears after 1194. Wautier Jonesone of Berwickshire rendered homage to Edward I of England in 1296, and there is a tradition that it was the Johnstone Chief who warned Robert the Bruce that his life was in danger from Edward I, sending him a sign to flee from the English Court. His descendant was appointed Warden of the Western Marches in 1381" " Back to VHS and adverts..that's the one, Scotch. With the Skeleton and his dog. I have some Krypton Factor type, outdoors challenge called Interceptor, hosted by Anabel Croft. Some "You Bet!" Episodes, some Wish You Were Here episodes. TV today is so cheap in comparison. PS, Hot Coiffeur 1993 is available on X Hamster!

Beautiful!

Sky Atlantic. 9pm. "The Real Chernobyl"

I've still got some recorded TV films on VHS. When Christmas TV was decent and you recorded everything in long play. Cutting out the adverts by pressing pause. The adverts, if watched now, all come flooding back. Remember the Polaroid VHS adverts? "Re-record, not fade away!" Everyone had that friend who was the porn meister who'd lend out his dads grot tapes. "Hot coiffeur" was a particularly good one. About a woman who has a new job in a hair salon, who spends the whole day with her mind in the gutter.

Those were the days. VHS. No internet. Hours browsing the shelves of privately owned and ran video rental shops. Obscure films you'd never heard of. It's quite sad really that no generation will ever experience that again. My local video shop rented out Megadrive and SNES games, too. £1.50 for 24hr and as a kid, I couldn't afford the £40 that games cost. I'd rent Desert Strike repeatedly. Someone else who rented it kindly wrote a code in the manual. TLJJOAQ. Still remember it. I remember I desperately wanted jungle strike. I saved for ages and got a WHSmiths voucher given to me and I got it and absolutely hammered it. There were a few places locally. Some in walking distance, others, I'd have to talk one of my parents into driving me to. The best one was called A and B Video. Like Alladins cave. Until the owner decided to knock down a supporting wall. I heard one person bought out the whole stock. Anyway, that all went away with my childhood and I moved onto PC gaming circa 1995 when my dad bought me a Packard Bell Pentium 60 for educational purposes, I told him. Ha. I learned lots playing C&C and Space Hulk Vengeance Of The Blood Angel's. Was insane how fast technology exploded back then. From 486 to 350MHZ Pentium 2 in 2 years and the advent of 3DFX cards. Nice trip down memory lane there.

Kind of scary that Iran is probably going to step up its Uranium enrichment programme. Currently they're limited to I believe 3 to 5% (U-235) but want to up it to 20% for a research reactor. Once you get past 20%, the steps to take it further (90% for weapons grade) are simplified. Trump pulled out of the deal that Obama brokered with Iran to limit it to 5%. I don't think Iran has the technology to mount a warhead on an ICBM. But I do think they'd use one on one of the neighbouring Arab states. Maybe even Turkey, which is a NATO member, then we would all be roped in. I'm pretty sure the Russians would help Iran along indirectly. Perhaps even sell ICBMs to the regime.

There have been a few nuclear accidents as well as Hiroshima. Goiania was one. Bunch of idiots found old machinery with radioactive Cesium inside.

4 megatons is an absolutely catastrophic explosion. The bomb that leveled Hiroshima was only 15 kilotons, by comparison. Nagasaki was 20kt. The largest warhead currently in US service is 1.2 megatons. The creators of the show explained that it was just thrown in for plot.

Wow nearly 15,000 views for this thread. So far, it's Ekona and I that are going around 3rd of September (updated) Anyone else interested? It's quite inexpensive. Put your name on the list if you want to come. TT350 Ekona

No, it never gave a light or an error code. It was really annoying. Can you hear it spluttering when it hesitates? It'll sound different, obviously, if one or more cylinders isn't firing. What I did was, just bought a full set of coils from a breakers. Changed them. Sorted it out. Coils, in my experience, can just go.

I had this problem. It was one of the coils.

I might be boring people with these. Hell, you dont need to watch them, lol. Look at the amount of gamma radiation hitting the camera in this video! For those who don't know, that's high energy ionizing radiation creating white specks in the video. Enlarging the video to full screen is essential for watching this video, as the whitewash from this webpage casts a glare and you can't see the radiation clearly. But expand it and it's completely visible. I'm pretty sure that we're seeing parts of molten core and concrete at 41 seconds. Its definitely something that got extremely hot and melted through the ceiling there. They called it "Chernobylite". Perhaps this is an upper part of "Medusa" or "the elephants foot" that eventually melted through to the basement. Absolutely lethal levels of radiation. Dosimeter at 2:12 onward, sounding its alarm like crazy. 2:26 rectangular blocks with circle in the middle to the left of the video, graphite moderators I'm sure. A firefighter in the first episode of Chernobyl picks up part of one that looks just like these in the video. These graphite fuel assemblies would have been deep in the core, on and off, as they lowered and raised them to decrease or increase neutron flux and lowering or raising power. Fully out, the reactor would have been at full power. All the way in and the reactor would shut down. Or, at least that's how I understand it.

Hello. You could get the TDI North stage 1 tune. Their partner company, Abbey Motorsports, are nearest you. It took my Z from 266 to 298bhp and really improved the driving experience. It was a cat back exhaust, HKS panel filter, plenum spacer and an Uprev remap. If you added decats, you might exceed 300bhp.

Trying to think back to when a bearing let go in my Z. It went away as revs rose. Is it clunky, heavy rattle or a metallic, zingy one? What's your oil level like?
