  1. http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/trackdays.asp?circuit=ba&type=car&ability=all&duration=all&Submit=Search Screw it, just take my zed here, though this tuesday may not be a good idea unless i fit rudders to the caR!
  2. I know Johnathan Palmer trackdays used to but not any more. Does anyone know which company do trackdays with their zed, not mine? Its just that by the time I get insurance for the track; pay for using the track; wear the crap out of my new Toyos; & run the risk of kerbing wheels/or worse still have an accident I might be better off doing it someone else's zed! Im not saying Im a crap driver but all it takes is another dim witted driver on the track or an oil/petrol spillage & anything's possible. ps she's also a garage queen, not a trackday machine & wouldnt like it Any suggestions, but nothing more than approx 100 miles from London??
  3. Funny you say that, but which magazine reckon Zanussi/Milie/Bosch/AEG are most reliable
  4. Anyone know much about commercial washing machines, i.e which make is best/reliable etc??

    and thats under the bonnet lol & thats on the front of the car
  6. Agree with what your saying. But in the case of the Posche even a non S which runs IIRC 255 or 265 at the rear they both run only 235 up front. It just seems interesting that they choose not to go beyond e.g 235 profile up front. BMW M3's etc are 225 up front etc. But each car is different & if you are going to set up your car specefically i.e different cambers etc then standard car (even 350z or 997 & m3) standard setups / standard tyre sizes etc are irrelevant. I myself did'nt want to go further than 235 or 245 max up front because I knew I would not change my suspension setup from OEM, inc camber adj etc Im not sure if going e.g. 265 up front & left suspension standard is a good thing.
  7. Nice one Tim Lovely pic Trev, but could you not find a bigger tax disc holder ! :teeth:
  8. Those increased bhp figures are at the flywheel not the wheels? ps lovely looking motors
  9. But things are not that simple or clearcut : Very useful faq http://www.ffcobra.com/FAQ/handling102_part2.html
  10. Im not discussing tramlining etc & it can be true the greater the stagger the more likely understeer is & Im not doubting anyones specific car setup. But 'in general', excessively wide front tyres will not give as sharp handling as thinner tyres. This is one of the main reasons why the Vauxhall VX220 (which has sublime pin sharp handling) runs on tiny 175 width tyres, even though it looks bloody stupid! Also 997 Porsche Carrera S runs only 235 at the front & 295 on the rears.
  11. Sarnie you'r looking for a run-around, here you go, just get an LPG conversion & its better than a diesel!!
  12. IMO 265 on the front will look good but will cause a little understeer. I am running 245 width tyre on a 8.5 inch wide alloy up front & this has caused a slight bit of understeer, especially on slower tighter turns. It would be better to go no more than 245 but if alloy width is 9.5 then you could run anything from 245 upwards. A fair trade off (if you dont want alloy to stick out much from tyre on 9.5 width alloy) could be 255 as others have said. I personally wouldnt go 265 up front for handling reasons.
  13. Comming after the break or the next, so get yourself of the PC & on the tele now!
  14. :wacko: Well the Sat Nav is more interesting than the car!!!! That & the fact that due to constant rain I have'nt been able to wash/polish & take nice pics yet! But hopefully weather permitting will do so ASAP & post better pics.
