Not wanting to get into a long drawn out debate on this one. I did research this, also looked at how healthy your average supermarket chicken is only to find this... ...although previous studies have shown carcinogenic arsenic fed to chickens—something approved for use in nonorganic chicken farming—does wind up in the meat. Interesting, and that's just the start of it Also got me thinking if was safe to use my BBQ LOL As for the bike, close

Hi, I've 2 x RE050A 245/45/18 for sale, approx 6.5mm left on them so nearly new.
-
Very tasty, subtle and well thought out. I like it
-
+1, could hinge upon the factor for me Welcome to the Forum

Not so dusty this time...anyone guess the bike?

VHT Caliper paint, 3 stage ceramic, doesn't chip, fade, yellow or crack and is good up to 482degC. Works best when 'cooked' for a short period. To be fair the picture doesn't do it justice (could be the phone), it's a lovely bright red and it cuts back, with a lot of effort, pretty good as well The logo says - AKEBONO, they manufacture the calipers and I reckon it looks better than NISSAN

Can't say I actually get away with it, the wife's at work and the kids are at school. For some reason the kids reckoned that their posh fish cakes tasted 'funny' the other night They could have had salad like me

Finished article, bit dusty though.

Use the paper wet with a wipe of regular hand soap

I'm sure you were meant to write those grit grades in reverse sh*t yeah sorry to anyone planning to try it - its 1000 then 1500 then 2000 !! lolol I havent used any kit just the wet n dry, the T-cut and plenty elbow grease. Planning to machine polish next. I've a large roll of 12000, yes 12000, you should see the finish you can get with that as a final touch Mind you 6000 and then 8000 gives really good results in a shorter time span. If anyone needs a sample of 12000 to do this then drop me a pm, first 6 only I reckon some military issue toilet roll paper is the same grade infact no, its probably 2000 Not wrong! Being ex-military I always wondered why the stuff we had back in the 80's appeared to be waterproof

M370 is an intake manifold made by Motordyne. Generally gives a fair chunk of mid range torque and a steady increase in BHP over the rev range, not sure what it's like on a OEM map mind you. Suits you're right, my bad, I forgot to mention the hefty increase in torque as that's the difference it really makes. Now I'm looking for someone to carry out the re-map, I know that abbey are the Holy Grail of all things Zed with regards to this but it's a bit of a trek. Can anyone recommend someone in the East of England, Norwich Cambridge?

M370 is an intake manifold made by Motordyne. Generally gives a fair chunk of mid range torque and a steady increase in BHP over the rev range, not sure what it's like on a OEM map mind you. I installed the M370 and then went for quick drive, even on the 'bum dyno' I noticed a marked improvement. As has been well documented on the second best 350/370 forum it delivers around 14HP in the midrange with a loss of 2HP at the top end, think I can live with that For such a simple mod, took about 30 mins to install, it's pretty effective. Although some would say a bit of a cheeky price for what it is. However, you're right in thinking that I now need to get a re-map as I've now installed the Gen3 kit and an Injen exhaust - see my post under 'exhaust'. Can't rate this exhaust highly enough, even if I lost any previous gains due to this system (highly unlikely) I'd still keep it for the noise alone
-
In addition to the Injen exhaust that Tarmac supplied he also sourced 2 new K&N filters for the Gen3, I previously had this installed on my 350. A lot easier to fit to the 370 though The M370, yep Tarmac Sportz again, went on sooo easy and as documented elsewhere works really well

Thanks for the comments, It's the sound that gets me Just had to do a run to the bottle bank, big BBQ last weekend, seriously considered taking 1 bottle at a time just to savour and prolong the experience as there's a drive under the A47 flyover. Sad...
-
Got to agree with the comment ''white is the best colour...' wish my previous Z, Night Blue 350, had been white
-
Cheers Chris, me and Photobucket just don't get on, well actually it's me 'cos I'm a biff Seriously impressed with the quality of this system; well packaged, beautiful finish all round, the welds are extremely good, everything lines up just so, the flanges are a work of art and not the usual 3/8 plate, and the install took me less than an hour. As for the sound, very, very satisfied a lovely deep burble at idle that just develops into a really sublime 'noise' under load, took it for a 130 mile drive yesterday afternoon just to savour it, even the wife likes it Yes I'll attempt a sound clip! It's been a pretty heavy Mod period to date; Stillen Gen3 install-ram air mod through the fang vents under development, powder coated wheels, 20mm spacers all round, Motordyne M370 Plenum-thanks Tarmac, red turret brace, red calipers...just waiting for the side blades, the Ings +1 front lip and a CF rear diffuser and then...where will it end? Oh, re-map now required. All in all I really can't thank Tarmac Sportz enough for all the advice, assistance and above all patience beyond reproach. As many of you know to your advantage this guy delivers

Got to give a big 'thank you' to Tarmac sportz for this one, very happy with this <a href="http://s1303.photobu...8b328f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zpse98b328f.jpg" border="0" alt="Ramp photo 2013-07-09122108_zpse98b328f.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1303.photobu...a4fa8d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zps2ca4fa8d.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 2013-07-10075658_zps2ca4fa8d.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1303.photobu...8b328f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zpse98b328f.jpg" border="0" alt="Ramp photo 2013-07-09122108_zpse98b328f.jpg"/></a>

Spotted a silver 350 on the back of a low-loader, front end damage, anyone on here? A47 just outside West Bilney
-
Nice GM turning into the industrial estate yesterday afternoon, East Dereham, waved and got a thumbs up in return
-
As a quick fix, cut up the wife's hot water bottle (it's summer now anyway) and wedge/bond a small piece of the rubber underneath the cross brace nut. Just a quick fix as raising the brace would be best. The rubber is thick enough and will not melt (you could probably re-tile the space shuttle with the stuff) had the same problem and this worked for me on my Gen3 intakes.

Sorry but I have to disagree on this one, everyone else may do but I really do not check the mpg and I really don't care either . But then I've never been to a meet to check out the mpg of other cars , each to their own but I think I'd rather watch my dog moult...
