I appreciate all the arguments for not mixing tyres and agree with most of them. The OP, however, is complaining of a dead feel to the steering and I fail to see how mixing tyres can contribute to this. I'm of the opinion that it is more than likely a case of getting accustomed to a rwd car after having a fwd.

You took your time thinking that one up Immy

Time difference.

I just elected to have a forced day off work

Nightmare!!!

Stay Safe Everyone....... Remember Drink Dirving is for Loosers !!!!!

Drink driving as well!!

Aaaw your paint. Wonder if you'll all get snow on Xmas day?

Bloody well hope not

Oh dear, and that made international news. Must be one of the those interbreed South Islanders.

 

Just be happy you are now officially 18 years old!

The bonus to the ditzy one's behaviour. Must have been one of the those Pommy imports you hear about.

It will have a bulge in the bonnet if it's a 313 bhp engine.

Well that's probably the end of his career and she will never be satisfied again

My headlamp washers froze up last year and stayed stuck out like 2 eyes on stalks. Hasn't happened yet this year.

Nissan Patrol - stay faithful to the brand

Stop milking it Chris.

 

Yeah, better stop creaming this as I herd Martin goes all sour and moody and starts scratching his bullocks if he sees a load of old bull being written

Dairy respond to this

Mind you, this time last year I was riding my R1 80 miles a day to London and back, so not a complete pansy-boy.

The word nutter comes to mind though

so someone explain to me about turning the TC off then if you get stuck, i'm a bit thick when it comes to knowing what to do.........

It's really a case of once you've switched the TCS off the engine power won't be reduced when the wheels spin, so you can give it as much gas as you need but be ready to catch the back end

Sorry Immy I couldn't resist this

Hanging the tail out isn't the problem - it's getting decent traction. Like most front engined RWD cars, the zed is light on the back and struggles to get the power down in slippery conditions. Good fun though so long as there's plenty of room

ZED + SNOW =

Go into User Control Panel - top left, then Board Preferences and you can select your option from in there.

BC racing coilovers mate, they are pretty good and reasonably priced. Just finally got mine on last night, the car is now low, and handling much improved, even over the Eibach springs

 

I went for stiffer springs tho 12/12, which id reccomend, its still not jarringly stiff.

 

I've seen BCs recommended a couple of times. Anyone had them long enough to express an opinion on their quality?

I've recently had a set fitted to my Evo mainly on the strong feedback they've received on the MLR. Even some of the very powerful cars doing Time Attack have fitted them and are very pleased with the outcome.

Haven't noticed any change in my coolant temp either. Have to agree on the fuel consumption though - mine has increased from around 25 mpg to 23.7.

 

That's a big "increase"

It all counts when you're using around 60 litres per week
