Not for racing at all, that's merely an indication of just how much better than the other tyres they are. They're a normal road-going compound, not a trackday special. Now that you've done the brakes which will make you a lot quicker, you really should match the quality of the tyres as well to get the best out of your setup. Imagine a tyre with all the feel of the VUS but with a good 30% more grip in the dry and another 50% in the wet. The confidence that will give you will be worth a fortune.

Yes. And then some. As an example, cornering speed on a particular corner on the 452s would be 40mph. You could make that 45mph on the VUS easy. You'd be making that over 50mph on the PS2s. They are that good.

Then don't ask a question with multiple options in your opening post then I don't care about 3 stars, I just care about completing the levels and moving on to the next one. Rio has a chuffing steep difficulty curve, though.

Someone called? Best premium tyres are the PS2s. Best midrange tyres are the VUS. I wouldn't put budget tyres on the Zed (452s or T1Rs). Job's a carrot

By resetting the ECU, you've wiped the code Clicky for next time!

It'll be fine then, no worries.

Unless it's an M engine (what engine is it?) then going from 0w30 to 5w40 will make naff all difference that you'll notice I would think. It'll make for a slightly less rattly engine, but again we're talking minor changes here.

Oh yes they have, many a VTEC engine has failed and needed replacing. The actual VTEC part of the engine may be okay, but that doesn't mean there's not a million other parts that aren't made quite as well Don't believe everything you read. 4 seats + fun + not silly money = 3-series of some kind. RWD FTW IMHO.

Top it up with whatever you've got handy, so long as you don't mix fully synth with semi or mineral

I thought I heard 5%, however I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Maybe I misheard

I would do 10x 50 to 30 light pressure, then 2 min drive @60mph without touching the brakes, then 10x 70 to 40 med pressure, then 2 min drive again, then 90 to 40 practically standing on the pedal. Always works for me regardless of brake setup, and is almost bang-on what AP say IIRC.

...except that VED went up as well, so you're paying more on that front

I would, and I did. Made no difference whatsoever, but I slept a fraction easier at night.

I'd stick with the darker one for Sunset, maybe the lighter one for Temper though. It really isn't going to make that much of a difference whichever one you get though, the oranges kinda sit in the middle.

Actually, I'd avoid a Jap-specific day like the plague if possible and try and mix it with the Elises, Caterhams and Porsches. Bedford is a pretty good place for this, reasonably high prices tend to keep the riff-raff out and it's always well-marshalled.

As already said, get the code read (either by yourself or by any decent garage) and post the code up here

Go with a quality TDO and you'll be fine. I use Bookatrack almost exclusively as Johnny & co run a very tight ship that will give youna fair amount of leeway unless you're a complete idiot, and then they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks, and that works very well. For the opposite reason I avoid Circuit Days like the plague, I've seen some atrocious driving that was let go because the driver was friends with the guy running the day. I've still got the video to prove it too... A Walshy day is incredible fun, but not a patch on a proper track day.

Tbh it's the same reason the Zed appealed to me so much, as despite all the nods towards being a GT underneath there's a wonderfully mechanical drive busting to get out.

Which is exactly why I ended up with a 911.

All I really wanted to do was to get rid of the swirls in the paint, so the fact that I ended up significantly reducing the visibility of the many stone chips on the car was a huge and unexpected bonus.

Should be fine, certainly I'd have no issues using it on any kind of blue car. They also do a White Diamond glaze which is for light coloured cars, but I think that would only be if you had a white or yellow Zed.

Forward them the link of somewhere selling it and let them make up their own mind as to what it is, and then get that in writing

I'm aching like absolute buggery today, I'm just hoping my trip to the gym this evening will loosen me up! Good idea, and soon once I've cleaned it

At £50K the GT-R was a bargain, now it's up to £70K much less so too. Cracking write-up in Car magazine this month between the GT-R, M3, Evora A and the Cayman R. I won't spoil it by saying who won, but suffice to say I think the tide has turned on the GT-R somewhat.
