Toggled through and noticed the DTE showing 350 after 70 miles of driving. Weren't hanging about either, good to see the ol' girl still running good. Rarely do I fill the tank, as it doesn't make sense lugging around the extra weight if not needed. Back home on the drive and showing 299 DTE after 162 miles through the Cotswolds. Mad to think the 350z could do Exeter to Edinburgh on a single tank.

Car Feast 2019 *Cotswolds - Sunday 23rd June

To help wrap this one up, the charity drive out is tomorrow and target has almost been reached which is fantastic. Weather looks just about perfect too, can't wait -
OP - buy whatever daily you want No need for a thread.

Late order placed Thursday and package arrived next day, cheers lads - super service as per
-
Is a shame really, as I'd say most folks that say negative things probably have never driven one at speed. VBH *racing license holder and race instructor loved the 350z and rated it alongside all that she's driven, which is more than good enough for me.

Id imagine heavy clutch and steering, poor visibility, road noise, not great at getting in & out when parked in a normal parking space, feels a wide car on the road, only 2 seats, not great urban mpg. New Nissan Leaf? Almost the perfect cheap to run daily, if not doing more than 120 miles a day.........

Vehicle ideally needs to be completely flat also.

If I was in the market for a 996, surely you'd just look for one that's had this common issue addressed. Much like the gallery gaskets for the HR, you'd ideally look for one that's had the work done by a reputable agent and enjoy less stress.

Will you bother with the washer jet too or leave as is? Clean looking now too btw.

That's my offer, up to you.

Lol thank you - for 6 months of the year I wash and dry the car in the dark. For duration, I never got hung up on super longevity as it's a pleasure to apply a LSP quarterly not a chore. If you're serious about asking a question, feel free to PM rather than bulking a product thread.

Clearly only looked at the pictures and not read what I had wrote, as I had given reason for the look. Between showers spritz of water to which I'm more than happy with its claims and my use of the product. Best £5 I've ever spent on the car

Washed the car last night and used the Turtle Wax as a drying aid. Absolutely blown away by its use, wrestled the water away in pretty much one pass. Had a noticeable drag feel to spreading but I wasn't sure if that was because I was using the product wet. So went over again on the horizontal surfaces dry and still the same. This prompted me to give the panel a second pass which is good practice anyways. SHW is what I always wanted AutoGlym Aqua Wax which I just didn't get along with, as it was effort to use and achieve the results I wanted. Considering it takes seconds to apply to a car you're already going to dry with a towel is a total no brainer. Back to its water management during use, the most evident was with the wheels. Normally with a microfiber it gets so wet that during the second wheel I'm purely pushing the water about, having to regularly fold to a fresh side. Not this time, the same folded side while using this sealant as a drying aid did all four wheels in a one pass look and feel. Of course a gave them a second pass not to dry but to buff off. Had a light shower come by so took the opportunity for a couple pictures. Rain drops didn't appear to be under alot of tension, but possibly not enough rainfail to flood the panel. Very uniformed beads no leas, so still very happy. Easy of use 9/10 Value for money 10/10 Added shine & gloss 9/10 *looked like I spent hours glazing and waxing by hand. Durability *unknown as yet, however is meant to be 3/4 months. Would I use it again? Definitely, an excellent product.

Replacing this bush is labour intensive, you don't loose a drop of oil so there's no need to replace.

Enjoyed that pal, considering what they are I wouldn't be looking to pay no more than what you have.

To be fair the youtube reviews of the MPS4 shown on a Focus ST and a e92 M3 with very similar comments towards overall performance, demonstrating a good tyre is a good tyre. No wonder super car owners crash so much, they must all had off the shelf tyres (same make & model) and not tyres from the manufacturer direct.

Makes a noticeable improvement on the drive of the car afterwards too, good upgrade I felt.

You don't drive fast enough to unsettle Chinese retreads lol

Bump for a summer run out? We culd do with cheering up after all this rain -
You could if they were faulty, but this isn't the case they're just ropey rubbers.

I've only ever spun one car and it had P Zero's on. When I bought my Zed it had Michelin on the front and Nexen on the rear, never once had an issue on road or track. Stick your rears on eBay
