Lee370Z

I popped across to join some TVR's at Cadwell last week(I used to have a Cerbera 4.5 for 6 years so I still have a bit of a soft spot for them).

I had an awful experience with the Conti sport contact 5 P on the GLE400d(rear tyres 325/35/22). The bloody things only lasted 3 months/6k miles! Bearing in mind that the car is 4WD as well. I couldn't get hold of the Pirelli P Zero that were on it originally(they lasted 20k miles), so that was how I ended up with the Contis. I've now got MPS4S on it and the Michelins are doing alright for wear up to yet, but it will be interesting to see how many miles I get out of them though. Hopefully they will do similar to the Pirellis.

I'm a proper Michelin fanboy to be honest. I have MPS4 on the 370Z, MPSS on the F82 M4, and MPS4S on the GLE400d. I will definitely be considering the MPS5 for the 370 when they need changing too.

White shows the lines of the car off really well, but black does look ace when it is all clean and polished up though I reckon.

Wishing you all the best with your search. I've had my manual 370Z GT Roadster for 4 years and I still love it. They get under your skin I reckon.

Yes and diesels do definitely struggle against a lovely petrol for definite. You've kept your 350 looking so well which is a credit to you for sure. 😍👍 I don't get to use my 370 Roadster much to be fair and I haven't used it since early October last year, and that makes me wonder why I've got it to honest. But I've no doubt that if I sold it then I would certainly miss it though. You can always get back into something more interesting again in the future I reckon bud.🙂

That looks a lovely example and it seems like a lot of car for the money I reckon. Glwts. You will miss the V6 roar for sure, however a 6 cylinder diesel can be enjoyable with all the torque though I reckon.

I have 25mm spacers all round on mine with the rays without issue too. 👍

What a joke!

That was a bit similar to me and I got my S14a 200SX back in 2002 and I had it for 4 years. I always loved the Jap scene(TOTB/Japfest/JAE etc). Can anyone remember when that chap in his Scooby rolled it into the railings on the handling course at TOTB? I do remember the Fensport Corolla. 😎

That is lovely. I bet it is great to use that gated manual mated to the V8 engine. Enjoy it.

I've done some silly speeds on the roads over the years(before phones/social media), but videos like this are absolutely mental though. Not matter how great you think you are as a driver things can go wrong that aren't in your control. Surely if you keep driving like this then it will go wrong at some point?

It looks like great fun and he is a very handy driver too, however it can easily go wrong out on the roads though. Proper risky.

I echo this as well. I have a F82 M4 with the DCT as my daily and the engine feels like it was made to partner the DCT I reckon. Whereas my weekend/occasional 370Z Roadster is a manual though, and I like that I have 3 pedals in that for sure

Hello and welcome. This is a lovely car.

Good god that looks ace! Fantastic work.

Hello and welcome. Such a lovely colour. Keep enjoying it!

Very nice! The engine in these is wonderful I think, the engine is so smooth and free revving. The engine in the 370 is quite reluctant to rev(especially at high revs) in comparison to the engine in this I reckon. Enjoy it.

Wishing for warmer weather again.

This was the Z4M I had.

Nice one! They are a lovely looking car and the N52 engine is really smooth(I had that engine in a E90 330i). Exciting times ahead.

I'd quite like a manual 5.0 V8 Mustang as my last hurrah.

I didn't gel with my Z4M Roadster, and I didn't like the gearbox/ride/suspension. The suspension has zero give in it, so if you hit a bump in the road it can be very unnerving. It was a wild ride though! Going from first to second quickly was an absolute pig in it too, and I wasn't a fan of the gearbox much at all. In comparison I much prefer the 370Z Roadster that I have now for sure.

That does look nasty, and I hope everyone is ok. I personally prefer the Z, but I do also like the idea of a GT86(preferably with either a turbo or a supercharger bolted to it) because of their lighter weight. Both are good fun cars I reckon.

It was a hero car for me though. I had my 18 month old S14a 200SX back in 2002 at the time(I had it for 4 years), so the 350Z was a natural replacement for me. Plus I'd lusted after the Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo for as long as I can remember prior to having the 200 as well. The 350 is much better than you describe it for me. I guess that I'm a massive fanboy of Z cars though being fair!
