  1. got rid of the plint? Did you fill the holes?
  2. They kept traditional flip buttons on the interior too to retain a classic feel. They could have gone with just an ipad. The equivalent is going to be the Mercedes EQV, EQC, EQE and upcoming EQS.... Infiniti were meant to be doing the same with the QX range as well as the Q30, Q50 and Q60 while the Skyline version remained Petrol or Petrol Hybrid. They got distracted for some reason. A bit slow to the party. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motor1.com/news/492124/2022-mercedes-eqs-side-profile-teaser/amp/
  3. good starting mods. I seen some people change the headers in US to free up the exhaust flow. Does anyone know if there are extra gains to be had from that? Sorry to hijack your thread mate.
  4. you can get a 370 for 9-11k legit....lol or a 350z for less. That looks like a risk. May have been an Essex drift car in the past lol co part one is overpriced when you add in parts a labour
  5. Nissan have cancelled this project unfortunately. https://www-motor1-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.motor1.com/news/491658/infiniti-q60-project-black-dead/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16147965940471&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motor1.com%2Fnews%2F491658%2Finfiniti-q60-project-black-dead%2F
  6. Shame about the arcadey physics....and ofcourse every picked Urine yellow
  7. Mannn carbon wheels. Well Nissan now claim to produce their own carbon fibre. Lets see how they incorporate it into the new cars. I think this car says dealer only on anything. Its a car a youtuber would buy or lend for the extra views. Would be cool to review it though. £52k thats a Cotswold/Yorkshire toy right there. They should include rifle storage and a cigar case. They are the only people able to buy it and not blink. Even though im not huge on Renault. They are trying with the Megane and Alpine. Just not sure if the market are ready to pay a premium for Renault. It even says dealer contribution of £11,000 so its really £63,000. you think theyll sell 30?
  8. The interior review was a bit dark couldn't see much. Will be a few years before can even think of getting this. The rumoured pricing is going to be high. Fortunately Japanese cars depreciate fast so we shall see. Id like to go to Japan and see it in the flesh and maybe test drive it. I really think they should angle the grill a bit. The rear diffuser section with the black gives it a hatchback look. Anything there has to be done right or it will look off. Having it black is ok until the aftermarket can come up with something better. Thats also where license plates will go. Due to the angle I think an extended M4 style lip would be better suited to the boot as opposed to a GT wing spoiler
  9. What are the features, specs...Thats crazy money. Renault-Nissan are getting arrogant with their pricing of sports cars. £52,000 really?!
  10. I think it might just be orientation the grill might not be angular looking head on. Ill assume it is but even the current ZP looks a bit like that side on. Just the sides of the grill give the game away with the straight angle. I think they might do that for the Nismo version and a vent for brake cooling. Could also be an indentation like the current car. Aftermarket will make a killing. Id have been drawing up aftermarket bumpers already and kits to go on the rear
  11. I bet the Monza is still louder than a muffler delete on the Fiat 124. Youtube content is somewhat limited for the Fiat 124 but Abarth has slightly more videos. Theres a guy that did a Tork tune, I think that exhaust sounds way too loud ruined by a burble map.
  12. Facebook sign up is quick and easy....Like 5 mins verification. If you wish to set the record straight and put Josh on the naughty step PS: Product placement, my 2016 65 plate nismo is up for sale 18399 which is not far off px on a newer car. There was a black 64 plate for sale at 17500 for 5 days. Either got snapped up or taken down. 4 Nismos for sale, Rumours of production end probably changed a few minds about selling. 'Probably'.... Im just suprised about the White mk1 in Scotland been on there longer than mine. Its colour coded. Suprised no ones bought it. If I was looking Id probably try knock it down a bit. At the end of the day your budget is your budget and there are a few from the 54 zeds for sale under 15k
  13. I saw a cop pull over two guys. The govt really get their moneys worth with tickets. No cops in 4 years. My secret, stick to the speed limit. Even tailgaters get frustrated...
  14. Appliance is literally what its likely to be, being Electric . I can kinda see the science behind using compressed air for propelling, hovering and steering as gimmick seems a bit far fetched though.
  15. https://uk.motor1.com/news/490260/tesla-roadster-5-insane-features-car-has/amp/ Apparently will be revealed this summer. It could come with thrusters that help acceleration and hover a meter off the ground without killing anyone. Maybe it will hover at a max speed of 30 mph for safety reasons who knows. Musk says the roadster will outperform any gas combustion Supercar hands down. Rocket thrusters all around the car will improve handling apparently using compressed air during acceleration and cornering. Production should start in 2022! On a side note some companies in Europe are trying to get their flying cars licensed by the relevant regulatory bodies. Road agencies, FAA and European regulatory bodies. Nothing is impossible right? Claimed specs 0-60 1.9 seconds 250mph top speed $200,000 620 mile range
  16. The turbo doesn't kick in till 3500rpm apparently its not going to be mindblowing when the lights change...being in London I think its ok speed wise...The standard Abarth monza exhaust is already loud and raspy enough. Not sure about the aftermarket ragazzon exhaust seems overkill tbh. I was sitting in a quiet country lane on Tuesday 'working from home' and saw an ND MX5 with a loud exhaust go by. Possibly had the BBR tune. Cant beat NA for sound though. Newer 184 NDs are still 18k plus. That's why 124 would be better. Although I might need the adjusted seat rails from US as im 2 inches too tall over 6 foot. They lower the seat by 1-2 inches. I saw a review from a 5'11 lady and she still had headroom with roof up as standard.
  17. Speaking of tunes been doing some overnight reading, and some have recommended a gt1725s or gt1446 turbo drop in with diverter and Air intake. Couple hundred pounds in parts to take it to 230hp. Full build inc map, turbo, diverter valve is around 2k apparently. Not sure if you need a BOV. 250hp is possible but at risk. I read a guy in Canada did cams taking it from a TJet His 300hp build was a built engine costing $10,000. 230hp is more than enough in 1060kg Abarth. 5.5- 6 seconds and 13 point something more than adequate. Not to mention Torque is around 260-270ft lbs apparently. In real world terms thats nippy and just as quick as an NA tuned Mx5 possibly. I think that would be perfect spot. Definitely interested in one of these. Leaning towards the Abarth over the Lusso. Time will tell.
  18. If youre looking for a Nismo a black mk2 is available for £17500 with reasonable miles. mk 1 is 17999 can probably knock it down. Id consider the mk1 as well
  19. Crazy. Good thing I dont live on "the block" Id probably be on bricks by now What you think of rim protectors the proper ones? In a similar colour or black. Michelins/Goodyears already sort of protect the rims
