the guy i car share with has a cooper s - he normally thrapes the nuts of it, and seems fairly nippy! plus you are right, even the standard exhaust is hilariously burbly and pops all the time.

just drop the profile of the rears to 245/40 18s and that'll be fine - only 3mm less sidewall than the fronts running 225/45, so will look even. most staggered sizes have a lower profile at the back to compensate for a wider tyre but keep the side sidewall height as the front

Gunmetal 2004 (54) Nissan 350z - 12 months MOT, 6 months tax

i've checked and double checked, but cant see it anywhere... whats the mileage? -
haha i reset at the top of a three mile downhill stretch in wales, after putting it in neutral... probably would have got even better if i'd have kept it in gear, but anyways... the mpg reading was maxed out at 99 for a good 10 minutes before dropping down again!

i also imagine the engine has got considerably less work to do getting up to temperature - and cold running a zed really blunts economy! also, heated rear screen and heated seats put more strain on the alternator - whereas ac is normally left on all year round.

350z roadster drinking more fuel then it should

240 miles for a tank isnt right... i dont fill up until i've done 400 miles, which is commuting 20 miles a day along the motorway to work. but even mixed driving i'd expect 350 miles from a tank. -
i second the economy! this recent warm weather is doing brilliant things for the mpg, during this warm weather im averaging about 3-4 mpg higher than when its cold. Even when not driving like a jag owner im averaging 33mpg on the way to work, 4 months ago it was barely 28mpg wish it was this warm all the time!

PS this is what we looked a few days before you!

yeah was a good little track, how did you find a zed round there! i thought it was a bit of a handful in our beemer to be honest, quite tight with interesting corners!
