18x8 is pretty weak for a 350Z wheel and those ones look like ass anyway. Id advise standing at the top of a big hill and seeing how fast they roll away from you

Thats not Japan dude, thats Brazil I think. Cool driving though, wouldnt mind a stab at that road myself

The S Drives are pretty decent as well BTW, but good choice, I cant imagine how fast you would need to be going to start sliding an MR2 on 888's And 5-7K miles is good, trust me

Ive just got coilovers and decent tyres and then tweaked the alignment a bit, made a world of difference though. Braided brake lines are very worthwhile as well An exhaust and induction are a good shout too, the engine makes nice noises but you wouldnt know from standard ...........

Id do suspension before anything else myself ...........

I have Mr Freemans number, word is he will only listen to your problem after a rather substantial upfront payment ......... but theres a great story Ive told elsewhere on here involving a Veyron and aforementioned barrister As regards Acorah, this is hilarious: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/most-haunted-exposed-fake-star-833433 lol@ Lion With and Wardrobe

Go to a bank with the money before you give the buyer the keys See my earlier comment regarding my brother trying to pay >10K cash from a car sale into the bank the other day, these guys turned up out of nowhere:

TBH if youre looking at buying pimpin rims you need to factor in at least a 30mm drop, nothing worse than seeing archgaps an immigrant family could live in.

Julian @ GarageD is a legend, not the cheapest and always pretty busy but he knows his onions, coincidentally he is IMO one of the best drifters in Europe as well

Hmmm, mine has always made a bit of a whine from the transmission, I assumed it was engineered into it as it sounds a bit touring car-ish. Best bet is to drive another and see if they both do it, if they do its probably meant to be there

Your steering wheel moved over the course of a day? Really? Sounds to me like an ABS sensor is playing up and causing your ESP to kick in, if its a front one then its very possible that it could make the car pull to one side, might be worth a quick check that you have enough brake fluid as well - the SLIP light staying on indicates there is some kind of problem with it generally If its bothering you then you can pull the plugs from the ABS unit in the front wing by the brake fluid reservoir, but be aware this will disable ABS and TCS so take it easy when testing

I take it you work for Bridgestone and get an employee discount? No, I just have an exceptionally bad habit of going sideways. Putting 19's on the back helped a bit as I can almost see the cash disappearing if I start being naughty

ID recommend the HSDs as well, must have run 8/10 different coilovers and they are the best of the lot

8 sets of rear tyres in 13 months says I may have found myself in a similar situation once or twice.

Aye, and TBF its not like youre receptionist was taking the car out for a trackday, taking it round the back to the worskhop isnt that challenging I was at a car show a while back when a slightly drunk SXOC member started giving my missus a bit of heat - nothing harsh, just "I dont understand why girls come to these things, you obviously arent into cars" and the like. When she pointed out that the totally unique convertible Silvia driftcar he was leaning on was hers, along with an MR2 and she had just driven there in my widearch 350Z he shut up rather quickly.

Nope, mine used to be but got reclassified, I pay "normal" tax on my 03 now

You're forgiven, we just don't like you now for gloating Busted.

He sold it: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/75382-soldk-sport-airtech-pro-airride-kit/ Stance Solutions in the UK do a similar kind of thing for less moneys if youre interested

No. Trees can be uprooted with wind speeds like that. A few drivers where killed last year due to this. A tree fell on my MR2 in the last bout, hoping this one wont be worse or the whole house will blow away. Or something.

Yep, but Im talking about a like for like kind of thing, as youve said yourself reducing sidewall thickness can affect ride. If we go like for like, a 19 inch wheel has a circumference roughly 11% greater than a 17 inch, so on your RX7 the final drive with the 19 would go from 4.1 to 3.65, thats a pretty big reduction on the road or track. Id definitely recommend 18's for track work on the Zed and the standard Rays are pretty unbeatable for the money TBH.

Even if you're a business that doesnt work anymore, although I may have been paid over the odds by a dealer for a car and then given him some cash back before This is more about the security of the transfer, and for me Im afraid you cant beat the folding in my hand.

Youve got two things to consider, unsprung weight and rolling radius. Increasing a rolling radius will make a car accelerate more slowly but will increase top speed, its effectively the same as making the gearing longer - an inch isnt a lot but it will make a difference, the car will feel more spritely on 18's than 19's. Unsprung weight is the same as normal weight, but reducing it has considerably more effect on the cars dynamics - reducing inertia means that everything goes better. Ive played with various different wheels on my driftcar and the difference is very noticable, even between an 18 inch 350Z Ray and a 17 inch SSR Type C (featherweight rims), everything from the turning to the suspension just works better. Youre always going to be best off with the smallest, lightest wheels that will cover your brakes, but they are rarely the ones that look best

That's some expensive pussy. Slight OT, but F1 Savannah cat, easy £10K

Mine makes that look valeted, its filthy with mud all over it and gravel all in it, front bumper is broken, tyres are knackered .......... but thats off the back of trips to Spa, Nurburgring and Donington, am I forgiven?
