    They're the old design, so not as good basically. Still great though. Think MPSS compared to MPS4.
  2. Good for him, but no. He's 32, he's got experience in other disciplines, time to let the youngsters come through and have a go rather than turning to 30-somethings mainly because sympathy.
  3. Looks like the apocalypse is coming! Although it's a month and a half too early...

    I think he's stil on P Zeros as well, as I know he stuck with L-spec ones and I'm guessing that none of the newer range have been put through that set of regs yet. Another reason why I don't ever want to drive it in the rain

    I'll have to find out what my mate is running on his Gallardo, as they didn't feel horrendous when I was out in that the other week. Wasn't in the wet though and they were quite new, so maybe hard to say.
  6. So a £76k Lexus coupe rather than a £90k Toyota supercar I'm guessing that was written by a non-car person then. Still a decent prize mind. Cheers for getting back to us matey, genuinely appreciate that
  7. Congrats on missing the point. Go you! Now imagine a 10% raise every year, and then imagine average car mileage of 10,000 miles. And the raise happens overnight, not gradually, so you have no time to adjust. If you can't see why this might be a problem for Joe Average, then I give up.

    Evo 2017 Tyre Test

    Normally I'd agree, but given how easily the 4 won and we know the 4S is better I'm not sure there would've been much point. Still would've been nice though!
  9. So? If you need them you need them, try asking again but more politely
  10. British Gas have just announced a 12.5% increase in their electricity prices, so if you're on their network and own an EV then congrats! Your fuel price just jumped up 12.5%! And they say petrol prices are volatile. Given that electricity price rises are becoming steeper and more frequent (any homeowner will tell you that), you can see why EVs aren't going to be cheap to run forever. Not a dig at any one or anything, it's just not a point that I think has been raised elsewhere on here before. The overall cost of electric sure, but not the sudden double-digit price increases.
  11. Your local dealer will very likely have these in stock.
  12. Alcantara can last, but it needs cleaning and protecting regularly (like after every use). Never going to last as long as leather though, that's definitely true.

    If it's just a template sent directly by PM to the OP, then no issue there at all.
  14. Si, Graham asked you outright for a quote and three days later you'd not even got back to him. I appreciate you're busy, but even a PM to start the discussion would've been a good idea.
  15. Not even close. At worst he's joint best with Seb, Nando and Max.

    Very kind offer, can't see that breaking any rules
  17. Did you do a skid in that video then? Like I said, I didn't watch it all, just skipped to a few bits. My point stands though, does it not? I mean, why would anyone want to go out of their way to give the Zed and Jap car owners in general a bad rep? I already said feel free to explore limits where appropriate, I know I do. Time and a place though, that's the key.
  18. If your going to slide, then do it where there are no other cars/persons/objects around. Doing it outside a car show on a relatively busy road where you're being filmed is just bonkers.
  19. That video single handedly sets back the perception of the Jap car scene by about ten years. Didn't watch it all, admittedly, but saw enough. And as for the f*cking idiots standing opposite the junction, did they not realise just how dangerous a place to stand that was?! Right in the line of fire of wannabe heroes sliding out and turning right. Gene pool needs a bloody great dose of chlorine. Folks, it probably doesn't need saying, but please remember when you're driving your cars that you represent all of us as a community, and your actions reflect on us all both in the positive and the negative. So please, don't drive like a d*ck, especially not at events like this where there's a lot of people watching. Thanks

    Oops, missed this. Extensive history: Give me dates, mileage and locations. Common problems fixed: Just the two mentioned? Which clutch was put in? When? By who? Which rad fans? When? By who? Couple of usual marks, where? Pics? Your listing is all wrong too, one big paragraph is difficult to scan. Try listing mods like this: Greddy induction kit Greddy front strut brace Invidia Gemini exhaust Tein S Tech lowering springs etc. You put 'Big brembos', well they're just the stock ones aren't they? plus Brembo should be capitalised. Carbon gear shift and Carbon engine cover should not have capitalised Cs if in a paragraph, and it's a gear knob not a gear shift. Actually you've capitalised after every comma, that's the bigger issue. E2 DLJ is clearly a private plate, is that coming with the car? If not take it off, get the original plate back on and get some photos that aren't either over or under exposed. Choose a single location too, go find a nice park somewhere or a country road layby. Be consistent! Apart from that it's fine.
  21. One will probably be along shortly to do it for you
