Are MPS4s Runflats or is that a different range
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Tyres
MPS4S premium 285/19/35 103 Y -
Looking to replace the current MPSS with MPS4s. I couldnt see any deals on Black Circle. Ill keep looking. I was just wondering if they are run flats or are there different ranges that offer Runflats. Id prefer non runflats as I heard runflats give a stiffer ride. Price wise not much difference. Id consider both runflats and non runflats. What price should I be looking for a pair. Last I checked in December they were around £360 a pair. Right now I can see £480

My old mate had one with a Meisterschaft GTC and Decat. Sounded crazy. Very loud cold start

Whats the survival rate for age ranges over 50....I wouldn't be in a rush to catch it
-
If you really want to catch Coronavirus and get it out of the way early as opposed to later when services are overstretched. They are paying people £3500 as human guinea pigs. If you die there must be a get out clause of them not having to pay a penny. Small print

Its just a scenario no ones told anyone anything . Its like when the Jehovahs witnesses say you should have a small waterproof safe and keep vital documents and emergency fruit bars incase of sudden mass flooding or natural disaster. Because who knows what will happen. Whether you want to believe it or not is another story Because Dry or Brown Dry Pasta/Rice only needs heat and water to cook. Or you could eat rations, bread, fruit anything that doesnt require prep. You could survive on that . That would be priority over stockpiling toilet roll, which people will blow their nose or wipe their backside with. Soap and water will minimize infection and its spread. Surely that's more critical than stockpiling loo roll. Yes specialist foods and specialist diets will be off limits. Only the basic foods would be widely available. I have a colleague whos wife works in Government and shes been told that the death rate needs to reach 500 before they consider a lockdown similar to Italy for a minimum 2 weeks to contain further spread. People say well thats unlikely because like 5 people died over a week period. If you see other countries the increase of infected and dead can increase or decrease suddenly. Just depends.

people should be stockpiling dry pasta, soap and water instead. This is just the tip of the iceberg

Supercharged Amuse 370z for sale - only 29k miles - SOLD
GranTurismoEra replied to Beb's topic in Zeds For Sale
Its a good price considering the amount of work. No need to lower just yet. Id say give it a month or so. Very tempting indeed. Summers coming . -
Very slow sellers. So had to drop the price. I remember dropping mine to 4k 4 years ago still had timewasters.
-
Yes from the games back then it was the 350z. Now with Need for Speed Heat, The Crew, Forza Horizon the 370 is in those games. I remember playing the Crew few years ago and I had a 800 HP 370Z lol....so some kids know already more than adults what car it is. As they hardly see them in real life, Its a nice suprise when one pulls up more so than the GTR

Check Engine Light from Doing Donuts. But hey cross America trip very good content!

Recently sold a 350Z 2004 DE with 37,000 miles for £6500...Thats a rare price. But you should get a 50-60k miler at that price tbh. More or less youd get a 60-80k miler for that price in summer

Theres a video circulating of people infected with the virus spitting in lifts in China and rubbing it in on the buttons and doors. Better purchase 100x black latex gloves for public use and take some sanitizer with you. Hopefully it doesn't catch on here. Crazy
-
They hold value while under 40 years. After that the depreciation begins. She looks very young though...borderline illegal
-
Yes a middle mileage DE, prices have started creeping up as summers approaching
-
Just use water.....That is all

This is not news, Not sure if any of you have seen this 18 year old girl on youtube. Now on 264,000 Subs. I know they are ten a penny on Youtube. . We know in US they have a large following when it comes to Zed. Good business tactic if you ask me. Get the guy to follow you with the camera everywhere, strip half naked do some drifts and bobs your uncle . I havent watched her in depth so cant testify to her knowing about cars or not.......Just pops up everytime you search 350Z or 370Z as thats whats trending. My colleague sent me the link and I saw the name and realized Id seen that channel before. Each to their own I guess. Whatever puts food on your family....I mean table!

8-10 Cars usually. Usually other car clubs come along, ragging it around the car park and that attracts security to push people into the mall. Might come along next month. A bit far for me tbh

350 HR is more refined but a higher Road Tax similar to the 370Z. I liked the DE because it had lots of Torque although nowadays it may struggle against the typical 300HP hatchback. I got eaten alive by a remapped GTi. The DE has a nice acceleration. The HR is revvier and revs higher, delivers power smoother and is slightly quicker. REV up is known for consuming oil, which apparently is fixable and came with slightly more power Personally Id go for the HR. But if budget was tight Id settle for DE as they are cheaper to buy but also come with their own issues being older. Some are starting to rust now. Although my brothers one he sold was in good condition as spent most of its life in a garage. Another advantage over the 370Z is that the 350Z doesn't attract as much attention and the dimensions of the car are perfect. Not oversized and bulky like the 370Z. Retains a muscular sports car look. The 370Z someone said reminds them of a poor mans Ferrari 599 . Ill take that as I'm a big fan of the Ferrari 250 GTO, 599 and 612 Sessanta.

Religion? That's what its become. Reminds me of a certain character. It'll come to me eventually -
Greta Thurnberg (A Game of Climate)
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Easier said than done .... I agree with everything on the list bar 10 , and also agricultural emissions will be harder to reduce especially in developing countries due to cost of equipment. 5 is a grey area. Maybe after 10-15 years they can start clamping down on sale of new ICE vehicles and Hybrids -
Greta Thurnberg (A Game of Climate)
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I couldn't stand her at one stage, but I kind of respect the message. Shes amassing a huge following now. I have some reading to do on the topic. But from the sounds of it she wants the world to conform to Net zero emissions. Its not going to be easy to tell Asia and Africa to fall in line. Europe will eventually be the leader on climate change and maybe others will follow suit. Maybe I'm reading this all wrong, in simplistic terms reducing emissions and planting more trees will help right? https://www.wri.org/blog/2019/09/what-does-net-zero-emissions-mean-6-common-questions-answered Fifteen countries have now adopted net-zero targets — Bhutan, Costa Rica, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Uruguay. An updated list of announcements can be found here. While there are new announcements every month, the percentage of global emissions covered by some form of a net-zero target still hovers around 5%. Some of these targets are in law, and some are in other policy documents. Some net-zero targets have been incorporated directly into countries' long-term, low-emissions development strategies, while other countries have adopted net-zero targets before submitting a long-term strategy. -
What are your opinions on her? I think she is being used to push the agenda of climate change but I also respect what she is trying to achieve or should I say what her parents are trying to achieve. She could just be the Avatar. People have told her to go back to school and how she has missed out on a child hood etc. Shes aiming for Net Zero Emissions by 2040 that date seems to change with the wind. One MEP pointed out that without the whole world in unison, Europe alone wont have an impact on the overall planet in terms of climate change. I don't completely agree but I think Africa and Asia will have to be on board as well. Also there is the issue of people below poverty lines going green which is a luxury afforded to those who can afford it. I've been following the ban on rogue/Unregulated/Unlicensed taxis and motorbikes which do most of the pollution in Nigeria in certain cities. This has put millions out of work. Although they have sought alternatives, the vast majority cannot afford to buy an electric moped or electric vehicle? I also think there is an element of Messiah complex. The great hope and savior (Captain Planet going to bring pollution down to zero) , her followers and parents are loving every minute of it. Don't be suprised if they start making cartoons with her in a costume soon. Shes managed to get many sponsorships and trademark deals done since she has begun. She will be around for a long while I am sure. This is the only career that matters to her it seems.

I think the Nismo Backbox will fit as I dont envisage any differences in the Mid Pipe Area just the backbox section. The rest should be the same as the standard car. They may protrude a little. I think the hangers will be in the same location
