  1. Yup, used to have a blue roadster I live round near the Ramsey Academy, still love the cars though and the people here, which is why no-one's been able to get rid of me I think the wing does actually sit above the hedge line...
  2. Personally I'd strip it, sell off what you can then move onto something else.
  3. I'm in Halstead too, and we both have orange cars! If you see an orange BMW or a black Impreza waving, you'll know who it is now
  4. They're the best ones I'm not fussed either this year. I'll catch a race if it's on and I'm not doing anything, but C4 coverage is nowhere near as good as Sky which is a shame.
  5. You should be able to go 40 profile all round with no issues to the TCS systems. Some people have, but they're a minority. I'd always pick AD08R over the regular ones, I'm amazed you can still get thenon-Rs if I'm honest as they're very old spec and aren't even listed on Yokohama's website any more. What are you running right now? What geo settings are you running? AD08Rs are fairly soft, you might find yourself replacing them more often if your settings are off.
  6. Price seems a bit more reasonable. Get the strut brace back on and take another photo
  7. Cripes, that's top money. What's the white gunk on the tyres? Tyre shine? No FSB?
  8. No such thing, depends on the driver. What suspension are you running? What geo setup have you got now? How do you like your car to handle? What tyres? How far are you willing to compromise for track if you're also using it on the road?

    Given far most people on here bought their car because of the styling, I'd say looks are more important than drivetrain sadly.
  10. The first hit on a google for 'nissan warranty transferable'... https://nissan-caree...aspx#faq-item17 Yes, it is. However it doesn't cover any modified vehicles at all, so unless the GT-R is 100% standard then it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

    Seriously, go sit in a TT or R8 and have a fiddle with stuff. It's astounding.

    New Z

    They're the air vents, with the controls for them in the middle on little LCD displays which saves having separate HVAC controls elsewhere. It's genius, and works brilliantly. If you guys genuinely think that Inifiniti or Lexus interiors are better than that, ahm oot. The quality of materials is on another level.

    New TT/R8 sets the standard for modern car interiors. They're utterly flawless, every button gives the perfect feedback, just enough driver-focus on the cockpit without looking daft, and the new LCD customisable display for the centre clocks is a work of cohesive art. 996 is a dreadful design inside, but the quality of materials is immense. Pick up an 18 year old 100k mile car now and it'll look like it did when it was 1 year and 10k mile old. Merc seats are beautiful but their infotainment is garbage, i-Drive is better but still confusing, new Panamera is a huge step up and potentially up there with Audi.

    But are people actually buying the Infiniti? Genuine question, I don't know. The Q60 is a billion miles away from the inside of a TT and a 718, and whilst it's decent it's still not up to standard (in fairness, not much is when it comes to the TT). I dunno, I just can't see where the demand is from at that price. Who here would buy a new Zed at £45K (working on £40K base + options + crap exchange rate)? It's not like the 370ZN is selling like hotcakes, and aside from the GT-R it's not like we're blessed with a bunch of cars from Nissan that are dynamic to drive. Ford, on the other hand, are class-leading everywhere across their range in terms of a fun drive. As much as I may knock the Mustang, as soon as you price the next Zed above it you've killed it, because who wouldn't want a V8 above a blown V6 for less cash?

    See, I can't believe they'll bring a Z-car out with a V6TT engine: It's too close to the GT-R. And if they did, what price? £60K? They can't shift the 370Z at £35K, and that's despite it being cheaper and more power than the rivals. Ford managed it with the Mustang, but it needed a V8 and a badge with history to do it. Looking at the new Cayman and TT as the usual rivals, Nissan would have to shove a small fortune into interior design to have a hope of picking up sales from there, and really the sports car market has never been where the money is, especially not now. I can't imagine they'll do another Z car, not for a long time and certainly not one fatter & more powerful than what we have now.
  16. God bless trainers on the PC, that's all I'll say. I don't mind DLC as long as it's done well. All this £2 for a new outfit though is ridiculous.
  17. I don't have enough time to spend hours and hours playing a game, retrying the same section over and over. I just want to be able to get to the end of the story. If they put cheats in all games, I'd use them all the time.

    Frozen solid

    My handbrake froze on the other week, never had that before!

    Won't look anything like that. It's a design created by a bored Autoexpress intern on his coffee break. Also, dual-clutch only. No thanks.
  20. Just take the airbag out if you're that bothered, no issue then at all.
  21. Not for TF days, no. However anyone with half an ounce of common sense wouldn't drive any track, much less one of the trickiest and most dangerous ones in the world, without one. And especially not in a convertible.
  22. I hated mine with a passion. Brilliant for about a week, then you realise it's just making the throttle too stabby and sensitive and you lose the ability to control the car properly at the higher settings. I took mine off, and would never go back there again. If you do decide you want one, you can 100% fit it yourself, it's a piece of cake. I believe Tarmac on here sells them too
  23. Sorry to see this Adrian, that's proper crap Genuinely glad it wasn't worse, and hopefully everything gets back on track soon for you.

    'STANG thread

    Agreed, I'd rather have something I can move myself out of danger with quickly rather than a secure tub of dullness
