I'm considering this: http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/outlander/explore-phev.aspx for day to day drive, what do you guys think?

Bought by Paul

Great ideas, keep them coming

Well, Darren bought a load of VQ parts not so long ago, not sure what for...

Parello, decats are still available for the 370z.

How about making it VQ40HR? http://www.briancrower.com/view.php?pn=BC0225

As some of you know I still have the VQ37HR engine that I was planning to build and stick in the 370z. The 370z now belongs to Scott, so I don't need the engine anymore. What do you guys think I should do with it? 1. Fix it as OEM and bring it over (nothing major wrong with it) 2. Build it as Stage 1 (750bhp+) or Stage 2 (850bhp+) and bring it over here 3. Sell it over there in USA as it is 4. Any other idea? Thanks!

Guys, if you keep slagging off the GTR I'm going to start crying! This behaviour is absolutely disgusting, I'm going to leave the forum! :lol:

Some more interesting views, this time from the LEAVE camp http://capx.co/ten-euro-myths-debunked/ and this video:

Just emailed the factory

One more: "Europe has called an end to the era of mass bank bail-outs as new rules to stop taxpayers from footing the cost of financial rescues come into force. Private sector creditors will be forced to take the hit for bank failures as the EU seeks to end the age of "too big to fail", which has cost member states more than €1.5 trillion since 2008. The measures - which will come into force on January 1 and apply to eurozone states - are designed to break the vicious cycle between lenders and governments that bought the single currency to its knees four years ago. Senior bondholders and depositors over €100,000 will be in line to be "bailed-in" if a bank goes bust, a departure from the mass government-funded rescues seen in Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Greece in the wake of the financial crisis. Brussels' tough new Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) will require creditors to incur losses of at least 8pc of their total liabilities before receiving official sector aid. Britain will not be subject to the rules." http://www.telegraph...s-are-over.html

I'm going to blatantly steal some more opinions from other forums and post it here for debate "Surprised how many of the "out" arguments are actually arguments against the effects of globalisation and our national government's policies. Ironically we will be more at the mercy of these forces if we leave. As for going with your gut, that's not a great way to decide anything but what to eat for dinner. Question very carefully where the stories that shape your objections to the eu have come from and how wide and unbiased viewpoint that represents. Do the people propagating those ideas share you best interests in advocating a brexit? It would suit our enemies (economic and ideological) nicely to divide the eu along nationalistic lines. That may even be a prime goal. Clearly the Syria/Iraq refugee flow is a useful lever. It's like we are a slightly autistic nation, confused and troubled by the world around us, lashing out blindly at our own family." "Our UN membership should't be affected by Brexit and neither should information sharing. Again, ironically the UN weren't behind the Iraq invasion and the legitimacy of that, in fact, to be blunt that war was in every respect illegal and imho Bush and Blair should both stand trial for that. Everytime something like this happens there are consequences. Look at the escalation in Syria once larger powers get involved and the resulting fall out. So we go all out pre-emptively striking any 'lunatic' by our 'standards', who pose a threat! Who are the lunatics with weapons then? Maybe we need to be and feel weaker, a bit more humility would be welcome after years of tiny dog (island) syndrome trying to bark and force our way on others. I agree that national policies are a huge problem, but with EU standing behind us, perhaps we think we have more international standing and 'might' than we deserve. Wars fuelled ultimately on control of oil reserves, if we spent the money we did on military campaigns on research and development, alternative energies and the like we'd be in a far better state than we're in now. The last 2 decades of war have achieved nothing, we've lost respect and created a whole new generations of enemies which we can thank Blair for. I'm not blaming the EU for this of course, but we need to concentrate and take a long hard look at ourselves and how representative of our people we have been. There is a lot of blame that gets unecessarily heaped on the EU, but all the time it is there its a convenient scapegoat for not getting our affairs in order." "I voted and will be voting to stay in, without any doubt we are better in the EU. We already have a special position within the EU anyway and that won't change. The migrant discussion herein is moot anyway, doesn't negatively affect the UK in the slightest, unless you believe the @*!# printed by Mail or other rags lol."

Another interesting article, when you think about such an important law debated by UK MPs, thinking that what we do here is better than EU wide legislation: "The Government risks undermining civil liberties by trying to push through its ‘snoopers’ charter’ with little scrutiny from MPs, a pressure group has warned. Big Brother Watch has voiced concerns that MPs will tomorrow spend just an afternoon debating a 245-page Investigatory Powers Bill, which will hand the authorities vast surveillance powers. As well as the Bill itself, MPs have had to wrestle with a further 700 pages of supplementary documents that explain the legislation in detail - much of it complex legalese that many will struggle to understand it. Renate Samson, chief executive of the civil liberties group, told The Huffington Post UK the expectation the Bill will be on the statute books by the end of the year is “too fastâ€." http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/snoopers-charter-is-900-pages-long_uk_56e6e5dce4b05c52666ef427

Very well said.

"The British mass media market is dominated by Eurosceptic press titles. This has led to a scale and intensity of negative coverage about the EU that informed commentators have judged to be ‘unique’ in Europe as a whole. The central proposition advanced below is that this development – which began in the later 1980s and accelerated through the 1990s and beyond – has strongly influenced the ways in which UK politicians think about what is achievable in their European policies, as well as what is desirable in the first place. A ‘climate of fear’ from press backlashes has meant that UK governments have been increasingly unwilling to devise, implement and publicise pro-European initiatives. In this context, David Cameron’s referendum gamble can in part be seen as a tactical response to the catalytic part the UK press has played in fomenting mass Euroscepticism in UK politics and public debate. [...] Currently only one national press title, debate the Daily Express, is firmly committed to UK withdrawal from the EU. It remains to be seen on which side of the debate its rivals will come down before the referendum. However, what can be ascertained at this stage is that a vote to remain inside the EU would go against a lot of what the opinion-forming segments of the UK press has been overtly or covertly pushing for some time. This should make journalists and owners wonder whether they really have been giving the UK public the stories about the EU it wants to hear.

"How might overall migration change? Some EU citizens would still qualify to migrate to the UK if they faced the same immigration rules as non-EU citizens, but doing so would be much harder because of the skill and earnings requirements for both work-related and family migration. These changes could have some second-order effects that are essentially impossible to quantify in advance. For example, many UK employers have become accustomed to the flexible supply of EU workers in low-wage jobs, and the removal of this migration route could increase the pressure for illegal migration and employment. It is also possible that immigration of EU citizens could increase in the short run in anticipation of EU exit, as people seize the opportunity to move before the rules change. Nonetheless, it is difficult to argue that overall migration in the medium term would not be lower if significant new policy barriers were introduced. Would the reductions Brexit might bring be enough to enable the government to hit the “tens of thousands†net migration target? Not necessarily –the most recent data showed net migration of non-EU citizens at 196,000. At least under current economic conditions and policies, Brexit alone would not sufficient to bring the target within reach.

Have you guys seen this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26520836 Scrap 'on demand' postal voting to curb fraud, says judge. Postal voting is open to fraud on an "industrial scale" and is "unviable" in its current form, a top judge has said. Richard Mawrey QC, who tries cases of electoral fraud, told the BBC that people should not be able to apply for postal votes as a matter of course. "On demand" postal voting had not boosted turnout or simplified the process for the vulnerable, he said.

Sounds SriLankan to me?

Talking about reforming, I liked this part from a long post on another forum: "break down the size of the UK government and demand accountability and fiscal responsibility while genuinely improving our education system. The average standard of education is not good, we're breeding too many useless people, pushed through 'uni' to keep unemployment numbers low, with the result being that many of the hard working immigrants that we have here really put our own workers to shame. There are so many hard working immigrants here looking for those opportunities against a backdrop of homegrown loafers. I have nothing against anyone who wants to work, unfortunately they are not the only ones getting through, and we desperately need to correct the number of our own not working. It will take a generation to correct things and decent successive governments but one has to hope. Further integration is a failed experiment, people, cultures communities, they are different and should be celebrated for that regardless of how inconvenient that makes it for governments or what powers they loose in the process. We are already blindly handing over and accepting too much encroahchment on civil liberties, just the begining of what current let alone future technology will afford them. Banning of cash, spying on your phones, movements, associates etc all under the guise of anti terrorism. Enough. Freedom! Isn't that what our ancestors fought for, and what every battle has ultimately been about, yet politically we just sit back and accept things that we don't understand or have a grasp of slowly being eroded away"

What a surprise! It's everywhere, all the forums I visit, social media, meets etc... Would be nice to have proper debates and awareness campaigns before voting...
