Dude I run an MX5, I’m in no position to judge a 325! Well done on grabbing all that bracing btw, very few people ever do but it makes a HUGE difference to the car. I had it on my old revup ragtop and it transformed the chassis, especially the rear braces.

Fast != fun.

Why would you have your phone out standing by a checkout in Asda???!!! And I’ve always pre-prepped for drive thrus, wallet in the side pocket as soon as I get in the car The point that should be made is why the eff I don’t use my Apple Watch for it instead, as that is definitely always out...

You won’t lose power, what you’re doing there is absolutely the right thing.

An E90 Msport is not a car. It’s a 325i. /pedant Welcome along, enjoy your Zed as for track work, a simple set of better brake pads, some lighter wheels (Rays are perfect) and decent tyres are all you need to get going and make the most of your car. Really doesn’t need anything else at all, unless you want to get into silly money.

Think I’ve only used Apple Pay in a shop twice since I’ve had my 8 Plus. Always feels quicker and more normal to whip my debit card out instead these days still, force of habit I guess. Another couple of weeks to wait for my 12PM, my case has arrived for it already though

Good job insurance covers mechanical breakdowns, eh? Oh wait...

Maybe Nissan will do a Toyota with the Supra. So we can expect to see it in about six years.

Would he even know what a decent tyre is?

I’m sad that Trump didn’t win. At least he was entertaining, can’t see Biden The Bore matching that.

I caved and bought a 256 Pro Max. Better be worth it.

I wish a GT4 would be £40k by then! Plus with the other two you have much bigger running costs too, so there’s that to think about.

What have Nissan said when you’ve taken it to them? Without a FNSH, I think you’re on your own tbh.

@coldel don’t hold back mate, say how you really feel...

There were queues everywhere for the EOTHO scheme, you’re right, I’d forgotten about that. It was absolutely bonkers. Still, as before absolutely nothing changes for me. Yay.

Tbh if people weren’t idiots and did what they were told with regards to social distancing and hygiene, we wouldn’t need another lockdown. And tbh, the massive jump seems to have coincided nicely with the universities going back, which I don’t find coincidental.

There’s a running joke that it’s always a Scoob that’s the first to break down on any given track event... I had a blobeye DCCD STi PPP for a few years, and took that to track days both here and abroad. I also tracked my old 350 a few times too. I used to run a mk1 MX5 as a track slag, and I’ve just done my first track day in my mk3 MX5. I get what you’re saying about the Scoob, but the easy tunability and availability of parts is incredibly tempting. You don’t say here what you’ve actually got, but there must be more to do to it to get more out of it. To get a 350 to competitive levels in TA will take a fair bit of wedge, and I’m not convinced any cheaper or more reliable at that point than doing it to a Scoob. Now an MX5 on the other hand, immense fun and cheap as chips, but TA winnable? I doubt it. @docwra has it spot on when he mentions Elises as the way to go. If it’s cheap fun you want, then hell yes a boosted MX5 will have it in spades and be comfortably better handling than either of the other too. Competitive maybe not, but you could end up with something as quick for a smaller budget, and that chassis is immense regardless of year. I don’t have any direct experience of TA, so make of that what you will in my comments. Having tracked all three cars you mention, for fun I’d be taking a stock NA MX5 over the other two for pure driving thrills any day, plus less concern to your wallet if you bin it. A boosted one would be nigh on heaven. I really want a set of ITBs for mine

That’s got oil-burner written all over it. And I say that as a defender of the Revup engines.

Possibly, but I can’t see anyone chasing her for it. Obviously insurance isn’t an issue here, I’m guessing she hasn’t got a pot to wee in to chase the money for.

But it looks better, and surely that’s the most important thing?

Well that’s your rep gone then mate

Waiting for the ProMax, so another few weeks for me.

I think I’d rather they do a 370Z body kit for the ZP, make it look less hideous

Sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful lady

Those bits will be universal, so either they’ll be cheap or everyone is going to get ripped off!
