  1. if done right rocket bunny works, cheap out on the wheels and get the ride height wrong it will look like a @*!# kit car
  2. Where does this info come from as i heard 453 were supposed to be just a peg down from mpss so i went to them when money was tight after my mpss got worn out and they are oceans apart?
  3. If we Scotland leave do all member from Scotland get banned í ½í¸‚
  4. did about the same time as a 996 turbo and vx220 turbo apprently
  5. i would love a gt86 as a daily when the time comes to going to a single car i think there awesome cars for someone like me. although if this is true i will be amazed at the Top gear times
  6. I don't get that. Mustang sold 3500 in 6 mths BRZ86 sold 6000 in 6 years Does that not equal the Mustang selling 7k per year and the BRZ86 1k per year? Or am I looking at totally the wrong figures here?! thats what it reads to me
  7. I'm not suggesting that it's the best selling car ever, just the statement that it is "aweful sales wise" is simply incorrect compared to other two door jap coupes, which after all, is it market. You also chose its biggest market pull the same numbers from, becuase in the UK from what i can see in the 6 years its been on sale less than 6000 (gt86) have been registered and less than a 1000 BRZ in the same period. 7000 mass produced 'cheap' cars in 6 years is awful. The toybaru market is two door coupe it is up against the camero/mustang etc in america as they all share the same price bracket (all starting at around $25-26k)so its market share for cheap 2 door rwd coupes is dreadful.
  8. Just looked the miata has sold an extra 973 units in the first 3 months compared with last year also the combined sales of the fiata last year in the us was 11,940 units so it still out sold the toybaru duo
  9. I heard that too, but then I had a look. 2016 US Sales Figures 11,598 pa, average 966 pcm BRZ/FR-S 9,465 pa, average 789 pcm Miata 5,913 pa, average 493 pcm 370Z US sales figures from here so two cars made just 2k more sales than 1? was this before the new miata was released or after seeing as the miata NC had been out since around 2005/6 be interesting to check 2017 figures at end of year Either way 11k sales is poor considering the mustang sold 105,932 units last year in the US And the impreza WRX sold 33,279 just show the market isnt there for the cars
  10. new supra will be in the region of 50k easy and like the NSX it wont sell as everyone looking for a car in the relevant price brackets will turn to a premium german brand, GT86/brz has been aweful sales wise expect the new supra to be that last shot at toyota sports cars if it flops in sales which it will dont expect anything more from toyota imo.
  11. to me knowledge should still be the tyre sizes i listed
  12. should be 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 on a UK car
  13. i dont think there will be a Z replacement, there might be a silvia or something smaller but the 370z production line staff must be have run out of things to clean in the downtime
  14. if your cars low it can be the difference between scraping or not, if thats your thing
  15. Exactly the point I tried to make - you have quite a big decision here for coders sat in a valley in the US, that they will ultimately decide if you are walking down the road one day that you die to save a group of people in a car. Should 1 pedestrian die to save 4 people sat in a car, where a driver might not make the same decision? Numbers say yes, human instinct would say no. But then 1 life is less valuable than 4 is it? As with most innovation, the technology is relatively easy, the outcomes and implications are immensely complicated. Who has liability, who makes the decisions etc. so technically it would be pre meditated murder
  16. i would rather fall victim to my own mistake and not have my death sentence set by an algorithm
  17. was having a converation with a a couple mates last night looking over a 96 spec ITR on 15s how new hot hatches just arnt what they used to

    or caravan/4x4 plates
  20. but thats most new hot hatches on 19/20s
  21. At the time of writing i was a bit drunk and i am only saying cos I have rota's lol, keyboard warrior coming out past few days lol, Looking good so far anyway, liking the nardi wheel? This is the problem when people make a statement of no cheap/replica stuff, it seems a common statement by a few in the stance game but then you find out they run replica bodywork or Budget coilovers etc
  22. i have gone through 3 sets of genuine cam sensors in 5 years seems to be a gremlin in mine
