Why not buy pre-done?

Start doing some test drives or you'll never get anywhere.

You can still get them off, it's just harder.

Funny, cos I know someone who accidentally had a rear wheel on the front of his 350Z (stock rays).

But all 911s looks the same

Probably not a fan of RWB 911s either then... It's a niche style, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it's never pretty, but it can look good.

People LW Ferraris etc, so RB/SDing a Z is hardly sacrilege.

Didn't see a thread on this.

Different wheel arch liners, reflectors, and headlight washers compared to pre-facelift. Arch liners shouldn't cause much issue, might have / want to swap to the pre-facelift ones if it's designed for those. Reflectors / headlight washers might take a bit of work, but that would be the case regardless of year since this bumper doesn't support them. I'd assume you just wouldn't install the reflectors, but I think washers are a legal requirement (though you could probably get away without them).

Just like when you put something back together and end up with 5 spare screws. They obviously weren't needed and it's now more efficient + lighter

Well obviously, you only recommend Michelins, but if someone was adamant on buying something cheaper, they look like a solid option afaic.

Only other thing I can think of in that area is headlight / indicator stuff, but can't see those from the engine bay normally.

This?

Falken Azenis FK510 Total: 44 / Dry: 7 / Wet: 8 / Comfort: 6 / Rolling Resistance: 4 / Noise: 6 / Wear: 6 / Cost: 7 Positive: Good controllability, high lateral stability and short braking distances on dry surfaces, well priced Negative: Relatively high rolling resistance Overall: Exemplary Falken Azenis FK510 Total: 28 / Dry: 7 / Wet: 7 / Comfort: 4 / Rolling Resistance: 4 / Noise: 6 Positive: Short braking distances on wet surfaces, good handling and steering feel in the dry and wet, attractive price Negative: Slightly slower steering than the best on test, low level of comfort, high rolling resistance Overall: Recommended Sounds good to me... It's more of a mid range tyre, but it seems like a damn good one to me.

Are we looking at the same graphs? 510: - Top for wet braking - Dry braking is 7% worse than SC6 - Wet handling is 1% worse than SC6 - Dry handling is <1% worse than SC6 So basically it's essentially equal to an SC6, but better at wet braking.

(And before anyone gets upset, I'm not saying anyone is wrong, but people who test tyres for a living say the FK510s are good, so it's only fair to provide something substantial to dispute that. Though if you've got no personal experience of them, then I'm not sure how that can be done.)

Because... ?

510 are completely different. Check the reviews. I'll find some links for you later if you're struggling.

Avons will be fine until they aren't, and then you'll wish you had MPS4s. Check out the Falken FK510s, they have similar performance to MPSS, but are much cheaper. Lacking a bit in dry performance, but that's less of a concern for a daily.

Just accept the occasional bad day / week and get on with it. I always push to go to the gym regardless, but if I'm really not feeling it when I get there, I'll just do 2 or 3 exercises and call it a day. Then check your diet / sleep.

Autumn... so Oz?

Been busy with louvres and got my dissertation / exams approaching sooner than I'd like, so it's a task for the summer. Got some Kurust, but need to get some touch up paint from paints4u before i can do anything.
