  1. 19's won't rub anymore than 18's, the tyre profile is adjusted to produce the same radius as OEM. Buy 19's because 18's look too small. You will only have to alter things if you lower the car.
  2. £5 a tyre fitted isn't unusual, but budget for £10. I didn't realise people still went into tyre fitters and bought tyres from them at silly prices anymore, but it appears people aren't as savvy as I first thought. £129 for MPSS + £10 fitting. http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/michelin/pilot-super-sport/245-45-zr18-100y-66149
  3. Don't plates legally have to have the name and postcode of the dealer where the car was purchased or the name and postcode of the company who manufactured the plates? Mine does have the plate manufacturer details. Bottom right little black writing. The photo is not high enough resolution to read the text, but I assumed it was the BS number in the bottom right as required by law.

  4. They are great GT cars, but they are also great B road cars also, especially with a few suspension mods such as coilovers and Eibach ARBs. There aren't massive power gains without going FI, but you can still get a good 10-15% with the correct breathing mods. I'm almost certain that a stock zed will take a stock 645 on most tracks in the UK. Those with long straights like Silverstone will be different because the BMW V8 will stretch its legs and can easily take a couple of seconds off the Zeds time on a big straight. Buy the car, they're great right out of the box. Of course everything can be improved and no matter how good your car is, there will always be something better, but for 5-7k, there is no better all rounder.

    Info please

    Don't you have a coupe?

  7. I had Tarmacs side diffusers first and it looked fine before fitting the V2 front. It may not be much if any lower, but it is longer than OEM so may scrape a bit.
  8. Somebody will be along to buy this boot, just as somebody will be along to buy my diffuser
  9. No, 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 is nearly an identical rolling radius to the OEM 18's
  10. I'm pretty sure 5.4 is doable with breather mods, a remap, losing some weight and some good tyre to get a better launch. Lets face it, it's only half a second.

    my NANKANG's

    I would't put Nankangs on a Prius, way too many bad reviews about them. I'm sure they're not all bad, but any tyres that can be bought and fitted for £250 are not worth the time. Andy hut mentioned Kumho KU39's, these are a very good tyre for the money and what I had on my 19's and what I would suggest you go buy now in 245/35 and 275/35 sizes. Check http://www.Oponeo.co.uk for some great prices
  12. Only the £16,500 starting price then, plus shipping, tax and customs, should comes in around £22k
  13. Depends on budget and what you want to do with the car, to be honest. Personally, if I was going to buy another 350, it'd be a Temper Orange HR
  14. Can you see the foxes running out for the hedges from miles away too? Track days are for going fast, the roads are for travelling to and from track days at responsible speeds.
  15. Roadster? EDIT: No wait, the roadster has no spoiler? What holes are either side of the high level brake light and how are they affected by a spoiler? I've been out of a zed for about 5 months now, so could easily be confused lol
  16. What's that gotta do with a spoiler delete? I'm pretty sure there are 4 holes for the OEM spoiler, which of course could easily be filled by small grommets as you mentioned, but they won't hide the wear in the paint from the spoiler vibrating/rubbing over the years on the boot. Hopefully you'll get lucky and it'll all polish up fine, though
  17. If you don't want to crash and bang over bumps down crappy roads just slow the **** down and stop driving like a complete ****! You're not Lewis Hamilton or some kind of Gymkhana Drift King, so wise up, otherwise you and your car will end up in a ditch somewhere, hopefully not taking anyone with you.
  18. Get a bodyshop to do it, they holes will all need filled and then the whole boot resprayed.
  19. SP7 and SP9 are probably the same anyway, just one has more intermediate settings.
  20. 2 of the 3 cheapest 370's there are under 45k, 15 grand not Cat D, the cheapest has been for sale for about a year and is Cat C, stay away.
  21. If your going for a remap the throttle opening limiter in the first three gears is removed anyway so save your money. Throttle controller has nothing to do with the throttle delay that the uprev removes, it simply amplifies the signal from the throttle to the ECU. So in short, Joker, but one if you like Incorrect, the so called throttle controller simply does exactly the same, it just achieves it differently to the Up-rev, if you fit one, or get the ECU remapped the result will be the same, so if you intend you intend to remap you will be wasting your money, how do you think the ECU controls the throttle opening %! Tell that to the number of people on here running supercharged zeds with both UpRev and throttle controllers. The 1st three gears I'm led to believe have a slight delay built into them, like most cars, the throttle controller doesn't remove this, the UpRev does. You alright mate could you tell me the difference between the two different looking D1 Spec TC's please? One of them is the square shaped design and the other is a rectangle shape! What's the difference and please no one say the shape lol That's what she 'Zed' :-/ Shape Literally thats the only difference. They used to be long and thin and now they are a bit more square.
