My bad, soz dude

Which makes it an even odder choice, given the massive range of android phones out there. I can understand wanting Android over iOS if that’s what you like (I myself cannot get on with android at all), but the slower processor is likely to hold it back significantly compared with the competition, even if you take into account less OEM bloat ware. If you only use your phone for web surfing and home integration, then why bother even spending £600 on one? Not sure I would even contemplate that myself, but each to their own.

The Pixel 5 is a very bizarre phone, it already looks underpowered and underspecced compared with the alternatives. Why that over anything else?

Potentially yes, but I want to get my hands on one first. I have an 8 Plus so the 12 Pro Max is what I’d be looking at, but it would need a much better camera than the 11 PM (which I’ve tried and decided it wasn’t enough of an upgrade) and a significantly better screen as well. Otherwise I might as well carry on with what I’ve got now.

You’re worried about the warranty, yet have changed the spoiler (bang goes the paint and body) and the steering wheel (ditto the electrics and steering). Very odd. I jest, neither makes a difference either way. Looks good mate

Not good at all. Fingers crossed for her.

It would make no sense for Nissan to say it’s not coming out here and to then release it. Better to say that they are considering all possibilities and keep PR going than to say it’s not happening. I agree that hybrids will be their primary goal moving forward, but I also suspect the ZP will last for about ten years including a facelift or two. That seems to be what they do with Zeds these days!

Pretty much exactly that. The Rex is ultimately more fun as you can really wring its neck, but actually having torque makes the 350 better to pull out of the corners so it’s definitely quicker, although I don’t think there’s a huge amount in it. I’m a big fan of the Rex, but the 350 is easier to live with.

I’ve tracked an rx8 too (admittedly one with no interior, r888s and bc racing suspension) and it was great fun, it’s my mate’s toy and I had a riot keeping up with it in my old 645ci. In answer to your question, cooling system is absolutely fine but you’ll prob want to swap the pads out for something better. I love the Performance Friction pads, match them with their discs and stopping power and fade are exactly where you’d want them to be.

Well, it does a bit.

I couldn’t possibly comment as they’re litigation-happy, which is enough to make me never want to use them. And that they’re known for being general dodgy sh*tbags.

Don’t confuse fun car with practical car

Profile is based on the width, so if you go bigger profile you must reduce the width to keep the aspect the same.

Who are you again? Good to see you back on here fella, now get that rust bucket up and running!

And that my good sir, is exactly why an NA engine is brilliant and will never be beaten by anything with a turbo.

I always park next to nice cars, because I know that they will take care opening doors. They may not ever know that I’m a car guy too so I’m actually doing them a favour by parking next to them, but that’s okay.

Still looks horrid.

Only guarantee I’d ever make is a second hand set of OEM cats. Every other solution runs the risk of CEL and/or failing MOT, and at that point you might as well get the only thing that will definitely work.

When I’m sliding backwards into a hedge, I’m always grateful that at least my tyres look pretty whilst doing so.

But its a diesel. It could have 800bhp and 1600ftlb and I still wouldn’t want it

Totally agree on it needing to be competitive power-wise to actually make it a viable competitor to the rivals for the inevitable pub table p*ssing contest, I just find it weird that people are desperate to know the power side before really committing to it. It’s not like a DE 350 is exactly sluggish with just 276 to play with.

I don’t this obsession with power. Unless you’re tracking it regularly it’s useless, and even then you watch on track how even an old 111R Elise sails past the big guys with billions of horsepower. Trust me, even just 160bhp is plenty enough for the roads if driven properly when the car only weighs a ton. I have zero problems keeping up or even leaving behind (at points) a 500bhp Lambo, and I know the skill level of the driver very well. It’s all about how you use it, not how hard you can bury the pedal into the carpet on a motorway slip road.

Like I always read everything, it’s like you don’t know me at all mate.

Figures, that was always one of the best bits about Vmax though, running in pairs esp when the cars were miles apart in pace how many runs did you manage to get?

Sounds excellent, I might have to have a look at that do you run solo or two at a time?
