  1. crazy, the modifications are beyond what most people would do. I dont think they would have cancelled if he didnt drive like a maniac and make so many changes. ie an exhaust etc. He also financed via main dealer. Most dealers would specify the same no modification conditions. But then no mods mean no mods. Especially on PCP. His YouTube mates are financing through third parties TRL deals and other specialists. Not via BMW even so it would be agreed beforehand.
  2. https://driving.ca/bmw/auto-news/news/bmw-demands-payment-on-financed-m4-after-owners-mods Mods include Hybrid turbos, methanol injection, numerous tunes, full exhaust system £65,000 roughly financed at £650 pm New M4 competition. Seems to be gaining traction online
  3. Weather looks okay. Will be cloudy, 17 degrees a bit cooler than last year. Fortunately will miss the rain due for Friday and Sunday instead . Still a 50% chance of rain.
  4. The front headlights on the BRZ post 17 are nice with the daytime running lights. But the blue edition on Toyotas side is very tempting too. Apparently the BRZ has a stiffer front suspension so its flatter through corners. Speaking of chargers. They say 290hp is a safer zone for the engine. I guess Fensport in Cambridge would know or Litchfield. Subaru blue or Toyota blue edition? I think Subaru has the better interior and front headlights! But that blue edition from Toyota!!
  5. Lets see what the Porsche Taycan can do at £60,000-£90,000 price. Looks quite nice. My brother wants to trade his 911 for it. Give it a few years the novelty will wear off and he,ll be back in a 911.
  6. China have 5 different brands with electric cars ready to hit their own local market and dominate. Nissan have set up office there hoping to get some pie. Wont be easy though
  7. https://jalopnik.com/nissan-might-have-played-itself-1835060715 As Renault move to start a merger where will Nissan be in all of this. It would diminish their role in an already unequal partnership that Renault dominates. Apparently Nissan arent interested in mergers for the sake of volume sales. That probably explains their painfully slow product refresh. Not sure what their strategy is. If this deal goes ahead it would be Fiat Chrysler Renault Nissan Mitsubishi and various sub companies all in a group with Daimler as a partner. Apparently Nissan has less shares in Renault than Renault have in Nissan. Also where does that leave Daimler Nissan alliance after the arrest of Carlos Ghosn. Many projects have been put on hold. Although projects like Mercedes X class and use of Nissan engines in some Mercedes have already been completed. Shared designs of Infiniti and Mercedes models in the last few years. It might be time for Nissan to move in a different direction. The high cost of electrification and stiff competition is probably whats keeping Nissan in this Renault alliance. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-daimler-boss-could-end-renault-nissan-partnership
  8. when watching these reviews its not the most appealing car. Also drive by wire is what you want to avoid. Fortunately not all are equipped with this. Have you noticed the new CLA and CLS rear tail lights share similarities to the q60. More so the new CLA
  9. if this is the future give me a one way ticket to a third world republic where I get to keep my petrol car. If chose to one day go electric or get a flying car the bureaucracy and laws wont hinder me in any way ie pilots license for my flying car and other taxes or extra charges due to strain on the grid from charging
  10. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-motorsports-urethane-rear-differential-bushings-p-10356.html Learn something new everyday. The car is still relatively new. Still worth a look.
  11. 6 weeks! jeez, stay on holiday for a while longer! Im no mechanic or car doctor, but didnt oil leak onto the clutch and flywheel. Is it just a case of cleaning it and refit along with new seal
  12. someone just needs to speak to the mechanic who was working on the car! lol
  13. Already did yesterday whilst replying to Payco. Dont know if he forgot or what not. Serious stuff
  14. lol it probably is. A lot of views for these cars. 11,995 would probably be a former write off. I dont think ive seen a Nismo less than 17k and that was the Mark 1 sat on Autotrader for 7 months!
  15. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201905017507703?onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&sort=sponsored&advertising-location=at_cars&make=NISSAN&radius=1501&price-to=22500&price-from=20000&model=370 Z&postcode=ha28qr&page=1 how come you're looking? lol
  16. The same ad is on autotrader with Hamptons LOL...One did go on Saturday morning for £23990 (2018 7800 miles) from Ford. Saw the drop on Friday night from 26900. Had been on there for months at 28,700. There's one in Belfast though for 23900 67 plate they also uploaded one yesterday for £33000 19 plate silver with 3000 miles ex demo.
  17. Short Tails do the job. But you lose back pressure and torque
  18. Saw this happen in Brent Cross, London. People just stopped and stared in shock. I had my hand on the horn till they dissapeared in the distance! Its okay though. Im sure he/she worked it out when 3 lanes of 50 mph traffic was coming the other way. Or how about a U turn in a 40 MPH 6 lane carriage way. Im sure her sat nav said turn around.
  19. theres two 3.0 T q60 to be had at 25999 and 29000/31,000.
  20. Need some give, also must be a bumpy bouncy ride.
  21. Its Nissan, Insist on it being the Exedy. They cant really say no as the model year is 18.. I had the 17. That clutch isn't great. Mine was slipping at times.
