Most economic analysts say that the most painful and most devasting sanction for Putin would be for the west to switch off the supplies, the sooner the better. With rising energy costs and possible unforseem second order consequences shoud the west go for this? Would it receive popular...

Following on from the debate as to the validty of varioous news resources here's an attempt at some structured reporting on various aspects of how things lead up to the conflict and and some structured reviews on the situation as it develops..if you see something appropriate please post it up here.

Here's a picture of my cousin Ivan and my then girlfriend Mo in Kiev in August 1994. A story where fact is stranger than fiction.. My father lost contact with his family during WWII (when he was captured by the Germans) and never ever was in contact with anyone who knew anything about his...

Good to see someone with both balls and a lack of enlightened self interest! :fuelfire:

’ve had many messages from friends and neighbours and some forumites who know my family background about the situation in Ukraine and my relatives there. I’ve drafted a response (which is long) to those requests for information and I’ve cross posted to those social network groups that I...

Anybody going to the Sochi Grand Prix?

Well looks like our planned continental railway trip to Odessa may have to be deferred, for the next 20 years.. I see the US high altitude drones that were flying over Ukrainian territory are now offshore but still monitoring…

Looking at fitting a dash cam during my (maybe ) summer tear down or maybe next autumn.. Ideally something that can do a rear end shunt as well as frontal incursion… What’s the up to date view on options..? Don’t want a little LCD screen, the Garmin mini 2 looked great but only faces forward..

Following on from various noodles here is a database of production Z4s of all versions ..the idea is to add Forum members modded ones to it as well. Asome folks asked for a list of what standard models would do ranked against each other. I've sorted it into two versions a manufacturer only...

As requested by Pondrew.. Following on in the classical law of unintended consequences, I discovered that to use the potential of the TTE500 turbos (circa 550 BHP crank) that the low pressure fuel pump would have to be upgraded, probably to a Fuel-it version with a walboro 450 pump. The LPFP...

As you push the power on the N54 engines up past 400 bhp one of the design limitations that rears its head is the low pressure fuel pump. All E89s from the 23i through the N20 powered cars to the 35is all use teh same low pressure fuel pump. FWIW it seems that it looks to be a pretty reliable...

Inspired by the discussion of the orginal post, I've been ruminating away to try and bottom out the question in the absence of a (at least) 3 mile flat straight road. There is a web site that gives a pretty good crack at it for non modified cars...

While my brain was in gear I thought it would be best to fire up the DSP configuration tool and try and embody the wiring /configuration details in the DSP programming system. Of course if you buy a modern mid range upwards (and in fact quite some cheaper cars) car then they almost all use DSPs...

https://www.bmwsections.com/docs/z4/ Use the 30i version its almost identical otherwise download the BMW owners manual app and then key in your vin..voila! :thumbsup:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :thumbsup: Quite so..its taken me a while to pluck up courage and sit down in a darkened room to do this.. DSPs allow you to do magic things with audio in places like cars where its very difficult to get 'decent sound' of course what is decent sound.. The problem is...

I've bought an Audiotec Fischer Match UP 10 DSP digital amp and DSP tp replace the 677 Top Fi set up in the 35is.. https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/match/amplifiers/up-10dsp I bought the SDM125 box that allows the fibre optic signal with the audio information from the head unit to be decoded...

Following on from the fastest you've been in a car (in which we seemed to lack documentary evidence) I wondered what the fastest /most excessive speed you've been caught at, and whether you can show the ticket /indictment? Here's my top trumps for starters..
