29.5 over the last 10k but I get about 31mpg on a regular 430 mile motoway drive sitting at 85mph

A 911 for 25k with no more than 50k miles is going to be 10 years old with higher fuel costs, higher, tax, insurance and massive maintenance bills.

I was under the impression that was one of its key points, hence the skinny tyres! But you have to want it to go sideways. It doesn't just slide around all over the place. Completly agree, it would be dangerous if it suddenly let go mid corner into snap oversteer. I've not yet driven an 86 but I imagine if you go into a corner on the brakes to transfer the weight over the front wheels then provoke the rear with the throttle it will oversteer.

Sounds like the GT86 cound be a winner. much better to explore the limits of grip at legal speeds.

Looks stunning.

I usually hate American reviews but this unbiased review says that yes it would be nice with a bit more power but the handling and the way it drives is of more importance.

For less than £6500 you can get the Cosworth supercharger kit.

An excellent all-rounder but quite numb and understeers on the limit.

I'm not sure an equally old car as a 350 is going to help him in the reliability stakes. S2000 are going up in price and only 2 seats. I have to keep hold of my Honda Accord for when Ive got the family in the car, at least with the GT86 you can squeeze the kids in if I had to.

Im not overly concerned about the tax, its just one of the little costs that all add up. I think a new GT86 is less to fuel, tax, no MOT to worry about for 3 years, tyres, discs/pads cost less and I would probably enjoy driving it more.

Ive had a couple Civic Type R's in the past so know what its like having not much torque, the engine note can be changed with exhaust or unequal length headers. I just think I might enjoy a car where I can access its limits at safer speeds and enjoy the handling over outright power. I'm well aware that my Zed is 10 years old with increasing maintenance costs and in the higher tax bracket

Just wondering if anyone on here has gone from a 350Z to a GT86/BRZ and what their opinion is of the car compared to the 350Z.

Welcome

Also I must say the ride height looks spot on with the Tein springs. Are they the 17mm front/14mm rear?

Sounds like these are well worth doing then, your Zed is looking very tidy Also need to check and clean my PCV, where abouts is it located?

With some of the deals on new M140i's its hard to resist, from £299 a month before options.

Welcome

Weather was ok so managed to wash, polish and wax the Zed. Keep these in the car for emergencies.

No worries buddy! Thanks for enjoying it. I don't know of anyone else with this exact system, so it's nice to know i'm a "one off" (at the moment) Is this a full cat-back system and do you still have your cats in place? Sounds awesome by the way

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome, nice looking Zed

Welcome

Hope you get this sorted with minimal hassle. Seeing this thread was the kick up the backside I needed to order a dashcam. This one has really good reviews with rear facing cam and a reverse cam as well. https://www.amazon.c...0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
