  1. Neil I thought you are faster than 911s? That gt3 whupped you Just joking. Have you considered a 225 meg they are similar to the 350 in running costs or is it something about rwd or the 350 you like?
  2. I drive a 350 and a 172 on a daily basis. The clio is more exciting sometimes as you can drive it more on the edge than you car or dare in the 350. But the 350 is more rewarding to drive its like a pat on the back when you get there. The zed does feel lardy compared to the clio but it does have the torque so unlike the clio you dont have to keep changing gears and revving it (sometimes good) you can stay in 3rd or 4th and just ride the torque wave. IF you are wanting something faster than your clio I wouldnt get the 350 as its not hugely faster in real world unless your an amazing driver but the seating postion is better, it sounds awesome and its pretty cool. The 1*2's are still IMO silly quick for a hatch with awesome handling so if you increased the power of the clio by 20-30bhp (not that easy on a F4R) you would have cars that are about as fast as each other. Dont want to put you off and Im not bad mouthing the 350 before anyone starts but giving an honest unbiased opinion. One thing is you dont have to replace the gearbox mounts every 2 seconds
  3. Saw you Vik coming down the road just after the scott fyfe roundabout. About 4.50ish I think. I waved but you just drove past me (you was on the opposite side) I thought I might get a wave or a flash(of lights ) or you would have blown me a kiss as its just after valentines day but nothing. Car was looking very clean though had to double take as I havent ever spotted anyone on here
  4. Might be cheaper buying direct though as ebay take a fair chunk these days, plus listing cost money
  5. Do you like naked middle aged women

    JDM tyres

    tyre fitter are *usually* the worst people to ask as they dont really know anything. A guy once said why you getting those vredisteins fitted you would be better with some fullruns or fulda's . They dont really know some are decent though and know their stuff. most just want to poo poo your tyres and want to sell your their own as fitting 4 tyres for £20 is alot of work considoring for not much money.
  9. Its not a ploy Its how you make sports cats pass emissions.

    JDM tyres

    Do they use N rated tyres? N rated tyres mean that the sidewalls are stiffer because of the engine weight and so they deform less in a corner for better handling, supposedly.
  11. You need to go for a hard drive and make sure the sports cats are proper hot.

    JDM tyres

    Gsd3 are about 1-1.5 year old. T1-S's will be about 5 year old. N ratings only count for Porsches. Which porsche do you know what a lighter rear end considering all of the engines sit on the rear axle. How you believed that?
  13. That's sad. I don't know why but it is. I doing we will see a 550z with an Amg engine.
  14. I smell a mini meet?

    T1-r's surely? T1-S's are proper old school. They are about as noisy as the gsd3's and last half as long. Sidewalls are soft on them aswell but never had any real problems running them at 195/45/15
  21. I'm going on the assumption you have rays. Then 19s will be heavier. 19s suit the care better. As your buying new alloys you can buy ones you like so improving the look of your car. If you get the 19's in a decent size you can get more grip with wider tyres and you improve looks and stance. Tyres cost a little more though. You can get the right offsets if your getting new weeks. Best place would be CS.
  22. Bloody fast though
  23. CAS are ok but not that cheap and postage is usually silly. CAC stay away from. CAD is the best
  24. HRV would be good too I reckon and must be dirt cheap to run May be a bit small though - need to have a look at one in the flesh me thinks. Not a very common sight on the roads around Aberdeen. Thats cos it not an audi
