Does anyone even swap over to winter tyres when the temps drop? 

I do .... but then again I live in Canada where Winter Tyres are actually mandatory between October and April for some roads. Even where we live in the valley this winter we had a good month with snow/Ice on the roads. 

For our truck we have winter tyres and all season tyres for summer, I am planning on getting all season on my Mustang for next winter (its got summer tyres only at the minute) ..... not that I am planning to drive it much in the crappy wether 🤣

Will be interesting to see if they do the new PS5's in the next review, they are supposed to be even better than than the PS4S 🍿

Not me buddy . My 350z and Nismo 370z were both Iowered on Tein springs. 

Oh my bad, can't remember who that was then 

Edit it was @parello9  . . .  I got the first letter right 😂

Good thought.. I'll see what I can find.. I'd probably need a 6" lift though..

 

@Payco Had Bags on his 370 . .  he might be able to comment on how high they go?

What about bags? I wonder if you could lift it enough to get in/out then put back to normal ride height for driving?

if you're going to lift it the question would be by how much?, it won't just be the suspension, you would prob need bigger wheels to make it look right. which would also mean some serious arch work.

I’ve got Covid atm so am hitting that reverse sleeping pattern nicely

Sorry to hear you have the "Vid", hope you only have mild symptoms

Holy thread revival Batman!

 

Yes, that’s the Moris I was referring to nine years ago. 

you're  up early.... insomnia? @*!# the bed? night shift? 🤣

New rims all ready to go on, unfortunately the car is back at the garage due to a ACM issue, its been back twice already but I told them to keep it until its fixed so save them having to repeatedly keep taking the dash apart..... I don't mind since the weather is still "wintery" as you would expect in winter; so not really wanting to drive on summer at this time of year 🤣

These are Project 6GR Ten's 19x10 & 19x11 with Pilot Super Sports 275/35/R19 & 305/35/R19. Unfortunately no PS4s in these sizes (well rear size). Just need to ceramic them now. The 325/30's that were recommended were just too wide and stuck out way too much. 

....... and here is some wintery pics from my daily dog walk for you all to enjoy. Also the photo does not capture the ice cold arctic wind in which I could hardly stand up, whipping down the valley 

Awesome little cars, I had a 1990 1.6 Eunos and then a 2006 2.0, loved the 06 model, such fun to drive. 

Looks like you have bagged yourself a good example 😎

Well I guess this guy did not know what we had and what they were worth

£600 for the set? Not unless they're in VERY bad condition. Mint I'd say at least £1500.

I was going by what's been up in our for sale section . . . 

They are LMGT4's and prob worth about 600 in good condition. Some of the nicest wheels for a 350z IMO ..... even more so on a midnight blue 😎

Nice, the look great ..... weirdly though considering North America is Truck central ..... the Ranger Raptor is not available, I guess Ford don't want it to show up its big brother.

Welcome, nice trio of Nissan's you have there 😎

Welcome!

Plenty of people have made Sub boxes to fit under the rear strut in the boot. Really easy to make if you ask me. 

wow ..... just wow! 😱

Nope. Never coming here. 

I had an email from Nissan saying I can reserve one   .....

...... but I am sticking with the V8 

I will just leave this here. . . .  

cold start in normal mode then at the 40 sec mark I switched to race (you can hear the exhaust valve click) Also that is only at 3k RPM. I need to go somewhere quiet to make it not quiet 🤣

Loving the car and the backdrop!
Many years ago I asked you to show me a picture of your silver 350 with wheel spacers which started a horrendously expensive journey for me which I have thoroughly enjoyed!

I have a V8 itch to scratch at some point.
 

This Pic right? I'm sorry not sorry I lead you down a slippery slope 🤣

Blue sky's today so took the opportunity to take a few pic at this little spot 1/2 mile down the road ........

Couldn't be happier with this car, only done 250km but it's an awesome machine, very comfy, handling is sharp and the noise . . . OMG  Quiet mode is just that, normal it pretty throaty, sport and race are insane and that's me not being allowed over 4k RPM for the first 1k km, can't wait to give it full beans.

We'll see how the new wheel fitting goes on Thursday . . . I think I will keep the ones on it as winter wheels so millrun on them for a few months more.  Have some time off this week so I may ceramic coat it before it gets any dirtier.

It’s the only way to go 

 

very nice car Doogy.  As I’m well aware, not the fastest toy out the box but a lovely place to be and I can only imagine what nice roads this’ll see in the spring - autumn in Canada.

 

precisely what I’ve said all along re the Mustang with regards to ‘driving should be an event and an experience’, nearly six years in with mine and and it still is, even on a cold damp winters night after a long late shift.  There were many detractors back in 2016.

 

Mach1 is a big improvement by all accounts (I’ve not driven one), and I had a wee look at a cancelled order the other day, £57k, I’d imagine yours would be that but in dollars you lucky man!

 

Jealous of the Tremac, but my old Chinese gearbox is still happily trundling along 

 

Have fun  

Thanks, yeah we have some great roads winding through the mountains, however I need to wait for the snow to melt and the pot holes to be filled before I can enjoy them .
