Smoke from drivers side exhaust...
It's my daily drive so only stood over night! It's fine when everything is up to temperature and no smoke after a run, just this little problem on startup or going a short distance... Went out again early evening while it was still light and everything fine! :confused:

Smoke from drivers side exhaust...
Started the Zed up today to drive as normal and on pulling away noticed some smoke pluming from the the right exhaust! It went away on changing into 2nd gear and was fine when warmed up... I noticed my Z started doing this a few weeks ago but now it's becoming a concern... When the car was parked up today after driving it I left it for an hour and started it again... No smoke on idel but when bliping the throttle to about 300rpm there was a slight blue haze which came from the drivers side exhaust which quickly soon went away... On leaving it idle again there was nothing but white smoke / condensation and she was fine again... My turbo's are only a few years old and are upgraded hybrids so guessing . hoping it not them! Would it by any chance be the PCV valves sticking??? The left passenger exhaust is fine and no smoke... Also but not all the time sometimes she will stall as if there is a vaccume leak somewhere... Very weird! Could this also be related to a PCV problem?? Many thanks for anyone who can help!

Hesitation after rainfall!
Yes mate, I've been using a Blitz Sus for 5 Years now with no problems... The underneath is completely open to the elements and i've got a vented headlight panel... Works great for me! Must be the stainless steel mesh not absorbing the water so much...

2 Boost gauges???
I've done it on mine but as above cause of the balance bar both Turbo's will read the same preassure... Say If i had a 1.2mm boost jet in one line and and 1.0 in the other you would still get one overall pressure cause of the balance bar...

One thing I do agree on is don't buy a Samsung Plasma.... They're not very reliable, leave that to Panasonic or Pioneer!

No worries dude, you've just gotta make the trip down to Cornwall to come pick it up! In the mean time, this is one of the models you want... ;) http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/413666/SAMSUNG-SM2232BW-22-inch-WIDESCREEN-TFT

Pioneer use "True Black" for there Plasma panels and Samsung use 'Super Clear Panel' for there LCD's which has been designed to boost contrast ratio and improve colour reproduction. Samsung also make there panels for Sony and the own difference being Sony use there "Bravia Engine" to control there panels and Samsung use there "DNIe" engine which is actually superior to Sony's! Faster response time! Lots of manufacturers now have there own definition to real black now etc... Jonny

Yep, as Mario says go for the Samsung! I sell these things and i always base it on product longgevity... Samsungs tend to have less of a faliure rate than the other makes and also boast a higher contrast ratio so you get deeper blacks and crisper whites... HP are now know to use Samsung panels so they too also boast there clear black technology... Best to go straight to the horses mouth though then you know it's been assembled by Samsung too! ;)

TVR Cerbra fast?
It's all down to torque rather than BHP and Macca's 30.5Psi TT big turbo set up - a fooking shed load! Admitted the Trevor is a lighter car but no where near as much torque... Most guys on here running 1 bar are producing nearly as much torque as some Ferrari's or Lambo's... ;)

My mate Scott will be doing it for me seeing as it's a bit fiddly to get to the back and he has those special long reach tools! :D I know when he's done them before on other cars he uses some kind of waterproof silicon i think but can't quiet remember seeing as it's been a while... I'll let you know how it goes next week anyway!
