My T350C issues
Discussion
It would be great if anyone had any views on this - i'm looking to fit a new exahust to my t350c; have I any options? is the only sports exhaust available the blueflame product?
ALso, my LCD display is flickering badly but i'm convinced this went pear shaped over winter; if I get it replaced will the same thing happen again? how temperamental are the LCD displays???

The LCD dashes are a bit dodgy to begin with, some flicker, some get bars across them and some, like my old one, do both. Sometimes they can be fixed othertimes you get moisture creeping in to the dash itself and screwing it around. Basically stick your finger in the air and see what comes down.
On a serious note flickering sounds like a loose connection somewhere.

I have lines that appear on my LCD display, most noticeably when it's wet. However these seem to disappear on dry days or once the car is warmed up.
I do get really persistent lines that hang around for weeks before finally wandering off
I know that there are quite a few threads on this subject as I read up on it a while ago to see how I could fix it. Someone has posted some instructions on how to take the POD out to try and fix the display. You can also buy an up rated display at a cost which may be better than the original???

So far I've just been putting up with the lines although they do really annoy me

I desperately wanted to replace the puny standard exhaust, because it was so unTVRish and I was always embarrassed when I saw car windows go down to hear me buzz past! Also, because the standard exhaust was so quiet, I could always hear the engine gasping over the exhaust sound, and so tended to back off a bit when accelerating hard. Sounded like my old Escort getting a thrashing!
I'm out at 5.30 every morning, so was really worried about the noise of a sports exhaust. I decided on the JP as I'd heard that the TVR Power Super Sport was the loudest, so JP seemed like a 'sensible' compromise. It is very loud, but I can start the car in the morning at minimal revs, and it doesn't seem too bad (allbeit with my windows up!). When it gets hot and I give it a blast, it's VERY loud, pops and bangs on the overrrun, and seems to please those window-droppers as I roar past! Long journeys are fine too.
Other good points... The JP is lighter than the standard, and so is less likely to stretch the hanging brackets over time (I have a couple of small chips out of the cheese grater rear where the exhaust had got too close). Some people prefer the look of the JP, which fills the void behind the cheesgrater, unlike the TVR Power which is two separate boxes so leaves an empty bit between them.
There, a few idle thoughts while I wait for my wife to wake up!
