Going to have to watch this on +1, ....bl**dy Sky box broke my series link again. Grrhhh. Cheers for the heads up BBK.

Welcome aboard.

Just going to put this out there ~ You can only really say that though if you had the car put on the dyno & tested firstly in standard form, ....then proceed to fit the aftermarket parts and re-test the power of the car on the dyno under the same conditions as before (E.g: same ambient temperatures, same day, same tyre pressures etc etc). Also a car manufacturer may say on paper that their car has 276Bhp as new from the factory but the truth could be it's got more power as standard (used to be fairly common with Japanese cars from the 90's) or even less power. Plus each dyno make will give different readouts as well as the same dyno make giving different readouts for the same car on different days. Again coming down to so many different variables. Oh and just to put this in the mix as well, tests have shown that a car running on new engine oil as appose to 12 months or older engine oil will show an increase in Bhp.

Interesting read G.

Welcome aboard.

Tend to agree with Alex sorry gstraw. I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable doing any sort of higher speeds on that tyre for sure. Doubly so with it being a rear tyre on a rwd car as well.

Topic moved. 100K miles on a car like a Zed wouldn't bother me providing it has been serviced & maintained correctly. Have a look at the buyers guide and the service schedule for some more info.

Well from the video it does say it's a Pirelli tyre but that's as far as they go in the description on Youtube, so yeah no idea on the exact one or the condition you're right Dan. There was definitely some luck involved but I'd say the fact that the driver stayed relatively calm & didn't slam on the brakes without a doubt made a difference.

How long is a few weeks? Any ideas on price? Thanks Thank you GM Not sure I can do that in tapatalk. As the web annoys me on my iPad, selecting when I don't want it to etc! í ½í¸‚ Nope, that you can't! í ½í± Ah I see, no problem then. Maybe send Ian a PM (private message) just in case he doesn't check this thread again, ...probably get a quicker response as well.

He was driving on the Autobahn in Germany so perfectly legal. My assumption would be that they were road tyres yes & as they're fitted to a very fast Porsche I'd imagine the tyres were probably speed rated for what the car is capable of. I know "Y rated" tyres are for 186Mph+ but I think "ZR rated" are even better although they only state for 150Mph+ so not sure what would be on that Porsche tbh. Maybe Dan (Ekona) will be along with some better tyre knowledge soon.

That Tomei stuff looks quality. Good luck with your plans Ian.

Skip to 1:19 if you can't wait to see what happens.

Probably Porsche technology saving his butt more than skill but who knows.

Great pics Rich. Some cool looking cars there, ...thanks for sharing.

If only it were true. Have a look on Youtube when you get a spare 5 mins as there are a few "trunk monkey" videos, ...that ones probably the best though.

TDi North are at a guess 2 hrs away from you wilo (very experienced guys): http://www.tdi-north.com/services/dyno-tuning-services Heard a few people mentioning RS Tuning in Leeds which will be closer but no idea if they do UpRev as I can't see it on their site: http://www.rstuning.co.uk/ Worth a ring though.

Good thinking Batman.

Honestly never heard of "Viezu" and considering I've been in to modifying cars since the mid 90's I'd say that was a bad thing. I mean I definitely don't know everything but to never have heard of a tuning company who claim to deal with so many vehicles is strange imo. I did Google them to read up a little but from what I can tell looking at what they do it seems more like a generic map made for each car model rather than a tailored/custom map done specifically for each car taking into account the different mods each person may add. Personally for the 350 I'd stick to the UpRev for what you want it to do (imho).

I'll be putting them on in the morning Nice. I locked your for sale thread btw but as I said just let any of the team know when you're ready to sell the Zed & we can unlock the ad for you.

When you say a little while do you mean 6 months as you previously mentioned? I'm going to lock this FS thread then but just PM myself or one of the other team members whenever you want this unlocked. Enjoy Germany btw.

They look very nice, ...need a picture of them on the Zed though to really appreciate them.

You have got some really cool toys now Andy.

You need a "Trunk Monkey"...
