PS4 for me on my MX5. I’d go for PS4S on 19” or above though. A very real benefit to running PS4 is the incredible life you get out of them, so even if you couldn’t care less about the performance side then penny per mile they actually work out cheaper than any credible alternative. 20k miles out of a set of rears for me, and that’s on 10k miles a year 50% commute and 50% proper thrash. Can’t really complain at that at all

Alternative to the PS4? There’s a couple, but they’re about the same price and arguably not quite as good. Anything else and, depending on driving style, you will notice a lack of grip & braking and tbh for what the difference actually is to those I’m not sure I’d bother. Unless you’re planning on moving to silly budget tyres for the purpose of the car actively moving around underneath you, I can’t say it’s worth the drop.

Bargain, and I bet that’s a lovely barge

Funny how people always don’t want to spend money on the things that they interact with every single time they’re in the car. Never really understood that.

Not great, to say the least. Bettered by pretty much anything other than dirt cheap budget tyres tbh. The 888R are good, but they’re a trackday tyre.

Two things: - Do you need the money? -Are you going to buy another fun car with the money? No point selling if you’re swapping as the price of everything else has gone up as well, but if you need it for a house purchase or similar then yes, sell. A 370 is a fun car, but it’s not an investment.

Doubt it, I’d also expect premiums to rise across the board next year to make up for the losses suffered sadly. Think my MX5 was 30% cheaper this year which wasn’t too bad at all, and I didn’t even bother shopping around at that price either.

Bearing in mind everyone’s renewal price should drop this year as insurance companies are no longer allowed to give better rates to new customers than existing ones. I did wonder why Go Compare’s latest TV ad seemed a bit odd, but this new rule has essentially made them a bit redundant!

I’m pretty happy where I am tbh. There’s nothing engine wise that I’ve not driven, from a v-twin to a v12, so I don’t have any bucket list to tick off. As long as it has a combustion engine of some kind, I’ll drive one until it’s no longer financially viable to do so.

Oof. That is all.

$2500 for one of those, no thanks!

Tbh at that money there’s a million* other cars you can pick from, that all trump the new Zed in one way or another. Let’s be honest, anyone buying one of these wants one simply because it’s a Zed, not because it’s a better car than any of the alternatives. *may or may not be true.

Graham, you’re a lovely bloke and the effort you’ve put into this club has been amazing. Thank you for everything, my friend.

That is a billion times better, I actually love that! Amazing what a front bumper change and a body coloured katana will do for the car.

Who are you, and what have you done with ilogikal??? That was waaaaay too nice a reply!

True. However you’d have to be an absolute numpty to expect to walk into a pub full of locals and shout at the top of your voice that the local ale they’ve been drinking for years tastes like arse and is brewed from the excrement of roadkill badgers, and not expect people to point out you’re wrong. Which is pretty much what you’ve done here.

That’s probably because I am. However, that doesn’t make what I’m saying any less true, like it or not. Running such huge wheels on the front in comparison to the rear is not only stupid, it’s dangerous to yourself and other road users. The fact you’re doing it willingly and cannot understand the simple physics behind why it’s causing you massive grief on top of the mod it’s staggeringly daft. If you’d done that to get you home after a puncture, that’s fair enough. Life happens. To carry on doing it whilst having your car in such a dangerous condition is… well, insert your own adjective here.

Well, in fairness I was giving you a chance to say “whoops, made a mistake there, that should’ve read 19” at the back instead”, which then wouldn’t have made you sound like such an utter berk for driving your car in a consistently dangerous state and then wondering why it wasn’t working properly. My apologies, next time I shall assume idiocy rather than typo.

Not just me that’s reading that this guy is running 265/35/19 on the FRONT and the 17”s on the back, then?

Running that combo for anything other than an emergency ‘get you home in a couple of miles’ situation is dangerous as hell regardless of any other mods you may or may not have, tbh. Why would you not switch the fronts to the rears at the very least?! I’m not surprised you’ve had problems!

Accidental landscaping, the single worst shame of all trackday goers

Unintentionally, sure…

Wasn’t having a pop bud, I like the enthusiasm from you on this

More so than the Transit indicators? The thing with Nobles is they’re brilliant, but they’re always the first car with the bonnet up at any given track day.

Every proper driver should own one at some point. Even if only for six months, they’re a true experience you won’t get with anything else.
