mk3 mr2 roadster £2k turbo conversion £2k car weight of about 1 ton maybe less power with out turbo 140 bhp with turbo 220bhp power to weight with out turbo = 140 bhp per ton power to weight with turbo = 220 bhp per ton take the zed as an example, thats 1.6 tons of car with 276 = 172 bhp per ton lighter car = brakes and tyres lasting longer, and less stress on the car. smaller wheels and calipers so tyres and pads are cheaper. you can drop the engine out of them easy peasy. needs very little stripping out as its already got feck all in it. and parts cost bog all. and its a toyota so its fairly solid. oh and it revs to 8.5k which pi$$es on the mx5

to be honest unless your pushing the car to its upper limits i'll doubt you'll notice much difference. your top 3 choices from what people use on here vredestein ultrac sessanta Falken 452 toyo proxies t1r and i'd rank them in that order. but to be honest i think the toyo's are rubbish; that and they are slowing production of them as well. sessantas are hard to find at times they go out of stock quick falkens good alrounder

they'll only go in if the countries got oil. not worth it otherwise

drop me a line buster and i can supply you with the best vinyl for the job to about the right size. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=49257&hilit=rtcustomz+price+list

at 5 k you could get a supra or if you fancy 4wd try a celica GT4 at that kind of budget, you have an endless selection of track toys. best to short list what you want FWD - RWD - 4WD Front engine - Mid Engine - Rear Engine 2 seat - 4 seat - family seater Cheap - mid price - top of budget super light - light weight - normal answer those and we'd be in a better posistion to answer

for the money paid they are alot of tyre for the price. i currently run them on my 20inch rims for the XKR and i ran them on the S2000 both of a 30 profile. the reason i mention this is that alot of people complain they don't like them, but i think the issue is they ran them on the higher profile (stock 350Z size) of 45. i think the extra heingt gave more tyre movement and there for not met the users need. but in order to run lower profile you'll need after market wheels. on the low profile on both the s2k and the XKR the falkens have been brilliant. really like them. on the zed on stock profile the sessantas are a top choice. i ran them on my zed and really liked them, very competant tyre. if you have more cash, look at things like mich PS2's etc.

a stripped out cooper S would make a blinding little track toy being FWD downt make it a bad choice.

I've owned a mk3 MR2 and an S2000 the S2000 was a joy to drive on the road better car than the 350Z and an extremely capable track weapon. if you are serious on 1 then the 2002 model was possibly the best. if you want more in fo drop me a line. my money would actually be on the Mk3 MR2 built to toyotas F1 framework, brilliant balance, cheaper to buy than the s2000 and you could turbo it and still spend less than you would on an S2000. handling is like a go kart brilliant feedback mid engine layout. cheap parts easy to work on. ( i could change the exhaust manifold on it in 20 min) cheap wheels cheap tyres and given the right setup could challenge and unsteady alot of more expensive cars. if you want more info speak to me or ekona or stanski, we all had one. or possibly look at a vx220 some of those were going for alot less. won't be able to afford the turbos as they are rare. but might find a standard for 5k as for them both going backwards it just comes down to the driver; and knowing how to drive a rwd car properly.

speak to ekona about how much his porsche is dropping each month

my god, i *really* hope i dont loose that sort of loot on my zed. i lost 2k in 18 months on mine when i sold it. and that was just on the cars value, not including any mods that had to be left on the car. although that was when the car was worth more. the depreciation will slow down, as the cars get older. have to say the s2000 depreciated at about the same rate. its a performance car; they depeciate, its a fact of life.

ok having a browse around the club area, it seems to be a good place to comapre your progress and lap times agains others in the club. also your scores help to push the club up the rankings as a group agianst other clubs. i happen to be top of the top gear challenge times 7.50 on the nurbergring radical challenge

just reassigned leadership to chris, i am now co leader; chris is the boss

Can you reassign leadership of the group? Dont really want something with our name on that isnt under the control of the team tbh. It looks like theres certain stuff only the leader can do like remove cars and I'm sure theres more. Lets give it a go and see I worked out why it dissapeared the first time. Its because I left the group thinking that was the way back to the menu as it said something like "Quit Club". So if all else fails we can just quit it and recreate. not sure of all the controls yet as i'm the only person in it i haven't added anyone yet as it says the first person to be added will be the co leader or something of that ilk. hence why i waited for chris to add. if it looks like things can;t be transfered across. i'll close the group, get chris to re start it and then invite all those who have put their gamertag up on the list.

have sent chrisI an invite as soon as he accepts it will make him the co host of it. and then i can accept the other invites and send out invites to those that have put their details on here.

Sorry Chris the setup you had didn't exsist because when i set a new club up with the exact same details it let me; which must mean for some reason yours didin't go through. club name: 350Z UK gamer Tag: Z UK same as above works. i'll look at getting it shifted over to one of the admins for control

DON'T JOIN 350Z gamer tag its a club called total kaos, and not the 350z uk club.

when i entered club tag it couldnt find z uk, but i put 350z in and it did. chris let me know if you get my request
