  1. Surely Aston do a module for BT for the DB9?
  2. For me, this represents just why the game has become Top Trumps rather than a driving simulator, and probably why it's taken so bloody long too. Do we really need both EU and US versions of the 350Z? What on earth is the point of that? Look at how many S2000s there are as well! Instead of spending their money 'developing' all these duplicate cars (only a fraction of which are going to have in car full dash views, including only ONE of the above Zeds) perhaps they should've been giving other manufacturers cash to allow them to put their cars in the game (how many years in and we still don't have Porsche in there?!). Or even maybe putting some more tracks in the game? Will it be good? Well yeah, I'm sure it will, just like CoD games are always of a certain standard. Will it be the game we all wanted it to be? I doubt it, just like CoD games are.
  3. Can't see them making another one at this rate, it's hardly like people are breaking down Nissan dealer's doors to buy the current one. Shame really.

    You'll still go quicker with decent tyres. Even more so with driver training.

    OMFG!

    You're all wrong. That car is more manly than Burt Reynold's moustache. It would kick Van Damme in the balls, punch Chuck Norris in the face and spit on Jet-Li while it walked away with his missus. Sometimes, just being so freakin' MANLY can make a car awesome. None of you like it because you're all too pussy to be been with it

    2 x trackdays with Caterham hire with BaT. Or a whole day's training with Walshy at North Weald. If you must spend on the Zed, then a set of MPS2 tyres will give you more improvement than anything. Unless you're spending a small fortune on 19" wheels they're going to be heavy and make your car slower.
  7. Go to Ariotek Buy webspace and domain name from them Design website elsewhere either via code or WYSIWYG editor Upload Done Great hosting, good prices, I've been with them for a few years now from when they used to be called Fuzioned and they were who I got recommended to me.
  8. You'll get very close to £3.5K with a bit of a haggle, for another £200 on top it's so worth it.
  9. Does it need to be fun? If so then a Clio 182, and if not then a Focus.
  10. Correct. Don't just go with what other people tell you though: If you feel, for example, that a 36F and 38R mix works well for your driving then go with that. Nothing wrong with having the pressures higher at the fronts if you want a little more understeer too, just have a play and stick with whatever you feel is comfortable.
  11. Start with +2psi on stock, but expect to run about +4psi to get rid of the slop.
  12. Tyre pressure isn't dictated by wheel size, it's done by what tyre you're running. Hard sidewalls need less pressure, soft sidewalls need more. What tyres are you running?
  13. Clicky for BBC News link Don't really think there's much more to add to that. A sobering read and something for some people to think about.
  14. 06? More than likely a 276bhp version, but tell us where the hazard light switch is and we'll tell you for sure.
  15. I think you mean Infinity Ward, and don't forget that most of the people who made 1, 2, MW1 & MW2 have now left IW so it's basically a brand new company making a CoD game. I wouldn't expect too much from it if I were you. I'll be giving this a miss, it's 95% an online shooter now which doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. SP gaming FTMFW.
  16. Pics you say...? I really must stop driving Anglesey in the pissing rain!

  18. If one of the RBs don't ram that smug greasy Spanish ***** off the road in Abu Dhabi I'm going to be very disappointed. ABA - ANYONE BUT ALONSO
  19. DON'T MIX TYRES IT'S BAD ENOUGH IN THE SUMMER, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO IT WHEN THE ROADS ARE EVEN WORSE? AND YES I KNOW I'M SHOUTING
  20. Although there is one thing that owning a Nissan over a Porsche gives you: People actually letting you out at junctions! Oh I wish I was just kidding, but on numerous occasions now I've seen people clock that I'm in a 911 and all bunch up to not let me out. In the 350Z that was never a problem at all, the car just didn't have that aura of "I'm a flash w*nker so you should let me in, you peasants!" that the 911 has. It's irritating as I'm a pretty courteous driver myself and always make the effort not to drive like a typical Porsche-owning ****, but that's their failing not mine.
  21. Sorry, missed that question first time round. Tbh I'm not missing the Zed one little bit right now, but then I'm still in WOW-NEW-CAR mode so that's not entirely surprising. What I am surprised about is that I'm not missing top-down driving at all, which is very weird for me coming from 7 years of only owning convertible cars. In all fairness it wouldn't even be right to compare the Zed to the 911 as the costs are just night and day unless buying a brand new Zed and an early 997. That said, you asked...! The 911 is in every single way better than the Zed. It makes a better noise, it stops better, it goes better, it corners better, it's more comfortable, it's better on fuel, the dealer network is fantastic, and it gets more attention than the Zed did which is a bit surprising. Normally when you get into a car you can kinda work out where you want/need to spend money to get it to where you want it to be, but that's just not the case here. Maybe I'd like more exhaust noise in the future, but for now the flat-six is glorious. If I wanted more power/better handling there's the GT3, but then I'd lose the extra cosseting a vanilla 911 gives you over long distance and also the wonderful PDK box. Outright more power could come from a Turbo, but then you lose the purity of the NA engine. The brakes just don't give up in the same way the brakes on the Zed do so I see no reason at all to touch them, and that's usually the first place I change things. If I could change just one thing on the 911 it would be to swap the RE050As to MPS2s, but that's just because I have more faith and experience in them: There's nothing at all wrong with the Bridgestones. And I'm still waiting for my flappy paddle wheel to turn up, so I've got that to look forward to as well!
  22. So you bought a load of cheap tat and are wondering if you should fit it or not because it's rubbish?! Fit the exhaust, don't fit the crappy induction kit. Exhaust is after engine and can do very little damage if it goes wrong, whereas the induction kit...
