If driving with no issues, I'd leave it till worn to or below minimum spec.

Someone's looking for a new job

Few more interior goodies. Background: So I'm watching the new Fifth Gear on YouTube 911 GT3 RS vs Nissan GTR Nismo and thought to myself as I've often done before, damn those alcantara steering wheels look amazing!!! Every car I've owned Ive always ended up changing the steering wheel (either for a sportier version or aftermarket) and the Zed is no exception. While I actually didn't ever think I'd change from the standard 350z item, a neat little alcantara one pop'd up on eBay auction. The add featured a few lackluster pictures, so I messaged the seller for some more pictures and it looked more than nice. I then thought why the crappy add pictures? Placed a bid and watched one lunchtime at work as the clock ticked down and ta damn highest bidder - well only bidder. Few days later and the parcel was ready to be picked up from Argos While waiting for my new steering wheel to arrive, I'd knew it would look out of place being the only alcantara item in the cabin. With that in mind I checked out www.tuning-shop.co.uk and ordered a matching pair of replacement shifter and handbrake gaiters. I had forgotten how much a different steering wheel changes the driving experience. Best way to describe the feeling........... Special and very M3 GTS. Yes it feels as good as it looks!!!

Early ban on New Petrol and Diesel Vehicles
davey_83 replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
@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.
