    I'm with the ladykiller
  4. No, coz by the time the ECU wants to "self-adjust" the NOS will have worked out
  5. Indeed, you need to learn it. As you need to learn to drive a Z too ... Or any car for that matter
  6. amen to that. And you can put that nos bottle in the lost space between the subwoofer and the tonneau cover
  7. Do you have to? Its pure logic. The elise is 500kg lighter, has semi-slicks fitted, is lower, has a 100% flat "floorpan" to suck it to the road. It would be quite amusing to see that that wouldn't increase corner speed compared to a Z Have driven a VX220turbo once, but didnt really test its limits coz it wasnt mine, no
  8. Yeah, the Nismo is not exactly what you call cheap But hey, it included the Y pipe
  9. My Elise example was in the dry
  10. Bolting a turbo on is cheating too
  11. I m on some motorcycle forums, the stuff you read there is about 200 times worse Its always "someone else's" fault. - shitty tyres - dirty road - bad suspension - bad brakes etc etc everything except the rider basically
  12. It sure looks loud, from the size of the mufflers I do have doubts about the objective performance gain of this system, i dont think it will change a lot if you dont have any other mods, but usually the sound it makes will add a new sensation to your driving, so it might seem faster. I currently have a nismo cat-back system and i havent noticed any performance gains, but it sure sounds schweet Anyhow, i guess your main reason to upgrade was the sound, and reading from your posts it surely sounds nice, so, go you
  13. As helpful as ever Its just that it is always easier to blame the equipment than to blame the person controlling the vehicle All tyres loose traction at a certain point, some earlier than others. Its a matter of learning the limits of your car. Or e.g. when you crash your car coz you missed a corner coz you went too fast are you also gonna say your Z is @*!# and you are going to buy an Elise to solve that problem? I ve encountered some fun ones myself with the Z on wet roads, with ESP on, simple straight-line acceleration on the highway and the back started moving when going from 2nd to 3rd, but hey, this is no FWD vehicle, RWD needs to be treated with respect Saying "my tyres are @*!#", "my suspension is @*!#", "my car is @*!#" is just too easy imho. Everything is @*!# at a certain level then (by which i do not mean you should not put decent tyres on a car or never do things to increase its performance. You ll just move the limits, but they ll still be there, you cannot change the laws of physics Jim )
  14. Better than yours Look who's talking. Last time I checked Custardville was the neighbouring village of the one where Borat grew up ... and we all know how they talk overthere
  15. You could also try to learn how to handle a RWD car corectly
  16. best to keep it charged up , as if it completely discharges( which it will over several months) modern batteries tend not to recover like the old ones use to, and you will have to buy a new 'un Or, like with my 4 year old TT with still its first battery in ... in 3-4 weeks
  17. Maybe the US chaps have an uncle who does US-Australia a lot in his private jet?
  18. I'm with the Emperor If you always wash your car carefully and wax it regularly you wont need to use polish.
  19. Just wondering, dont companies ever get sued over stuff like this? Just copying the design of another company's bumper and selling it?
