Because most people are idiots and most idiots spend a disproportionate amount of time on social media. think you hit the nail on the head there too many uninformed (and unintelligent) people posting crap on social media and too many people seem to worry about what other people think a bit like the thread about the Vq35 being Renault i bought my z because i liked it if some one else doesn't like it so what I have a great t-shirt it says "EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO MY OPINION" but they're also entitled to disagree but i'm not gonna stress about it

The Alfa 3.0 V6 in the GTV/Spider sounds like a diesel engine, not nice at all IMO. i had a 156 gta 3.2 v6 sounded the dogs

sorry not sure i can talk to you anymoreno hang on with all the sign writing on mine and the dirt mines not white either

just for fun So do I, but still do 10k miles a year! Do you just drive it in and out of your garage i work long hours drive a van all week start early finish latei'm on standby all this week which means i start work Mon 8:15 am and finish Fri 7:30 am so not much free time actually drive the car 1 or 2 days a week That's definitely the best way. I also drive a van all week, automatic slow VW Caddy, then jump in the Z at the weekend Makes it feel so much more special. a white van i hope

wow don't remember the last time i saw an anglia

It's just habit more than anything always changed twice a year when i did 12k per year just carried on that and the oils free i've got 120 litres of it

just for fun

just a few of the manythe rover v8 into capri was great fun and sounded fantastic broke my hand twice doing that conversion could be why it now looks like this

You change your oil every 500 miles! Fairplay that is OCD at its best. Just joking. it's worse than that last year i only did 600 and changed oil and filter 3 times was a new engine though you think i should go to oil changers anonymous "my name's Andy and i'm an oil changer" there i said it i feel better already

more cars on my list than i care to list but here's a few old photo's i found fiat x19 i had 2 of these very rusty merc cant remember which one (old age) 3.0l scimitar gte the chassis is in the garage i had several mk1 and mk2 golf gti's and a few capris this one's a rover v8 conversion i did (the top of my head doesn't look like that anymore-grey not bald)

yea he doesn't care about such things he's pretty odddrives a lotus elise doesn't rev it over 3000 because it's more economical

i actually run shell helix ultra 5w40(get it free) i'd like to see a dyno run with differant oils can't believe it makes that much differance to power and i change the oil and filter twice a year which is really anal as i only do 1000 miles a year

i know a guy who's had a new Shorrock blower still in the box for his midget says he's gonna fit it when he retires he's had it the 12 yrs i've known him and he wont retire for another 15 thats foreward planning

or Wife... not so fussed about the wife

yea i'm with you there should be a hanging offence

ahh the joy of modern ecu's sorry can't help with youre problem but saw the name and had to ask what's the eaton m90 on not a 1275 it's far too big

haven't damaged the wiring pulled the connector off to the pressure sender have you ?

oh now who's showing his age mine were actually cherry bomb muff divers

maybe i'm just too old and prefer something more subtle Have you heard the Invidia system? Not in your face or OTT. Nice and quite grumble at lower RPM, comes alive after 2.5K-3K rpm and doesn't drone one bit. Really brings out the V6 sound nicely imo. in all honesty no but i look foreward to it now Would love to show you if you lived closer. My days of some mental, stupidly loud exhaust deafening me and everyone around are long gone. Used to have an Impreza that had a very loud exhaust system, ...so loud in fact the dog at home would start barking about 3 minutes before I got home as he could hear me about a mile away from home driving behind my house. Much prefer something more subtle nowadays but still with a nice sound especially if I decide to put my foot down a little & go up the rev range. know exactly what you mean i had a capri with a 3.9 v8 and 2 cherry bombs as a system couldnt hear for at least 5 min after i got out of it
