  1. For anyone looking https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/porsche/cayman-981
  2. I do like the Jag and have been researching them. Content on YouTube is lacking. My mate picked up an AWD Type R few weeks ago came with SVR wing and Cobra custom exhaust. A bit quieter and smoother. I have to say it doesn't hang about. You need over a mile of road to even bother putting a foot down. Sound system from factory (Meridian) is pants and needs work and only the V6 comes with a manual. 550hp plenty for the road. 20 inch carbon wheels. Nice car. Car was £35k. The dealers are barely dropping the prices on many cars so will wait it out.
  3. Can get a 4 seater hot hatch. Markets collapsed and dealers are on shrooms not lowering prices...many cars sitting since summer. I like the RS5 too...RS5 maintenance on the v8 version. Can't imagine it being cheap. Things tend to break on older Audis. Wouldn't touch a German without warranty personally. I'm defence of BMW I'd say the E46/E92 M3 and M5 V10/v8 along with the E30/39 etc were the last bimmers with character.
  4. Closer look at Nismo.. Auto translate not the best translation. 9.2 Million Yen... expensive even for well to do locals
  5. lol id still be hesitant to import one even if i had the money. The competition is way too appealing. Then again the thought of a V8 Supercharged or Twin Turbo appeals more ngl
  6. $68,000 Dollars more than M2 and same as a c8
  7. Black Nismo delivered in Japan. Production still delayed into 2024 due to factory changes.
  8. Officer did good went a bit Judge Dredd after the pedestrian got hit.
  9. LEDs are meant to last over 50,000 up to 100,000 hours or something. 3 years seems like new age tech bs
  10. So wear the highest heels when already 6 feet 2. Not that it matters when horizontal
  11. Looks good. Functional. Did you have to pay customs?
  12. So like Batman and Bats.... Face your fears head on!
  13. Some nice quieter custom exhausts are possible. Bigger resonators or custom back box. Pipes look better just get bigger resonators

    HFCs

    Even though I had an automatic GT I felt the pressure from your Nismo after initially legging it. Lol

    HFCs

    There will be a check engine light for 02 sensor. But that can be mapped out. Best to add everything intakes, headers etc then remap. Lol. If its just HFC should be good. Up to 20hp apparently. Shop around tarmac and torqen both do them.
  16. At point of sale would require auditing by third party on which products are being sold....ie decat systems and pops and bang tuning....tuning beyond reasonable limits ie GTR stage 5/6. Similar tuning is made illegal in some countries. Sounds like it all ties into proposed tampering laws. Or maybe they're trying to copy US system especially in places like California where they clamp down on loud exhausts. Noise cameras will be rolled out on high streets and residential areas. On the highway it's a bit of a tricky one. PS in London DVSA can stop at anytime any vehicle to conduct a roadside MOT test as been the case with a mate. Usually they set up at the side on a layby pulling HGV and trucks over. They're usually there with traffic officers. I've also seen traffic cops looking under the hood of a guys car. He may or may not have a clue what he's looking at.
  17. All v8 F types, Mustangs, Porsche 911 pre OPF and the like should either go to the dealer to get a software update or stay out of dynamic!/sport modes... 🤬. They're all loud stock from factory. Even with software and loss of pops and bangs. V8 cause vibrations. V10 V12 and W16 are even louder. V12 cold starts are harsh and sudden... Built for residences with their own land not terraced housing Goodluck trying to convince officer perkins it's a stock exhaust while he writes you a ticket.
