15mm is ok but i think 25 mm on the back is more flush maybe. Theyll settle down after a few weeks of driving... ps never admit what pace your did on a forum . I didnt know you were 90 pace in football

The GT looks very toned down in comparison. Its probably a lot more comfortable than a Nismo

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/102970/new-2021-audi-e-tron-gt-arrives-rival-tesla-model-s The car was mentioned over 3 years ago. Not bad for a second attempt after the SUV. Shorter range than Tesla (280 miles) and pricier at £79-£130,000. Similar in price to the Taycan. I think it looks good Interior and exterior although the centre console could have been cleaner. Audi still believe in buttons. Shocker. Not everyones cuppa but still a cool car.

Once lockdown is lifted around March/April we,ll all be in tier 3 or 4 nationwide You can meet up for exercise and jog while breathing each others perspiration, but you cant stand around gossiping about cars. Hotels will open to encourage holidaying locally in summer?! So road trips maybe.

I think slightly above the previous model but lower than the BMW Supra. Id say around £31-£36,000. In terms of looks probably similar with more plain front end.

GR 86 with mods?

Nismos start at £18,000. Tbh the production has pretty much ended for it so prices are stagnated. What was overpriced 6 months ago is now asking price. If anyone thinks 20k is overpriced for a mk 2 Nismo then best of luck finding a clean one for less. Nothing wrong with an older Z, just check the regular things, steering lock, gallery gaskets and slave cylinders/clutchs. Other than that nothing I can think of. You can probably get a clean 2013-2015 GT model for around 13-16k at the lower price. Crazy thing I saw a 2015 convertible a few months back not sure if it was sold. Very rare I reckon it got imported or sat around for a few years before being sold to the first owner. Try find one with good history and receipts. Or like Ollie suggested wait a little longer and get a post 2013 but will be at least another 5k on top. Summer time car prices will be up though

Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
I did see a solid black. One of these cars will be my next car for sure once Im done with the Z. Im 6'2 so they,ll be a tight squeeze. That guy in the first video was driving the hell out of the MX-5. Heel - Toe and all. Its definitely no slouch. -
Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
It makes sense coming from 276-344hp. Some people have added wider lightweight wheels and an exhaust and tuned to 205-230. I think 200 is the safe zone. Anymore than that probably needs engine work. 205-230 hp is around 5-5.5 seconds so in line with the Z without the Torque. The cars lighter by 500kg plus so it probably feels much nimbler -
Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
Colour coded bonnet is more likely the Abarth version with 32 extra horses. I suppose the colour code is to differentiate them from the standard car. I saw a review on Autotrader claiming the Renault Zoe was quicker off the mark but I digress I think you get an LSD, Sportier suspension, Sports Exhaust, bodykit and some more extras. The MX5 is still faster apparently lol. The standard 124 if you want all the extras then its the Lusso Plus. The Fiat offers something different being Turbo and a bit more road presence. The MX5 sounds and goes better. You can get the Abarth and just wrap the bits to match the colour. -
People have mentioned the back, but many cars have a flat back like the R8, Jaguar, Ferrari, Aston. Not all as rectangular. It was probably a choice between the red car (C-HR), the render with the modern 240 lights or this. 300ZX lights are a nice move away from boomerang lights which many didnt like. People wanted a modern 240z and here it is . This car will still break necks no doubt just like the 370 Nismo does. Production ready model in Grey maybe.

Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
I think a different experience altogether is needed sometimes. Have you thought about tuning it for a bit more performance? On average I found the MX5 pricier but the Fiat is a head turner. Really like the long bonnet and classic shape. Maybe it could do with a slightly wider body but overall I think its a good package. ZEDs will always be there as people give them up frequently possibly due to high running cost and practicality -

The Greys look much better and black as well. All pearl im sure. White looks ok not as striking as the 370 nismo. So darker or blue would work better Id be heading over to tint shop to wrap that Katana blade to colour match. I think it would only suit a black or silver car.

Been a fan of these cars for a while. While the MX5 is the quickest its a tight squeeze for people 6 feet and over thats where the 124 benefits. Both cars can be tuned to 205 hp. The highest ive seen was an Abarth tuned to 230hp. Been watching some POV videos and didnt realise the MX5 goes like a rocket at 900kg. Obviously there's no touching the MX5 in performance. The Fiat seems to have more space and comes with the 1.4 Turbo where the MX-5 is 2.0 NA. I know the Fiat has 3 trims and Mazda 5 with the anniversary edition and RF. The MX5 is the benchmark so if I got the Fiat id need to get around 180-200. Nothing wrong with stock for the first year or so. I like the classic look of the 124. Definitely have to test drive both at some point. Both good daily cars if I had to get rid of the CRZ. Wouldn't say no to either if my numbers came through. They both sound good for 4 pot. Any owners on here? Would like to know more.

To be honest these pics are reaching lol. They're probably trying to update the current VR30. Being 4 years old now. Hence no figures yet.

Ozark and the lady with the loud paint McLaren. Ha...That bit got me. Like the location what a life I already dreamed up a GTR and Rogue V6s at the front blocking the entrance. A speedboat with twin v12 at the rear behind the garden for a quick getaway when the feds are on the case
