+1 and it should be the same font used in the current logo. Another +1, seems a shame otherwise. Maybe have the URL running under the whole thing?

Granted, and it's not exactly dangerously lean (far from it), but given that there's already a slight blip in the power graph at that point anyway I'd have expected the AFR to follow the downward line as boost increases, not go back up briefly from where it was at 2.5K. The car is still under boost between those points (3psi - 5psi) too. I'm no mapping expert at all and I'm not saying for one second that it's a bad tune (far from it, I'd be very happy with that!), I'm just trying to expand my knowledge at these things should I go down the same path in the future. Sorry if it came across as a harsh criticism, I certainly didn't mean for it to.

Very nice numbers, congrats Seems a bit lean between 3K-4K revs though?

DO IT DO IT DO IT \o/ My tickets came today, feels that little bit closer now!

This place is up and down more times than a whore's drawers this week.

If people searched before posting up and added their info to the bottom of an existing thread, then yes.

I would love to know just how many threads we now have on here about bloody road tax

Tbh I wouldn't expect an issue with running tyres that little out of spec anyway: Certainly dropping to 40 profile with the R888s has made no difference to the TCS that I can tell so far.

No it won't, it'll be 2.4% smaller. Profile is a percentage of the width, don't forget.

Ah, I see. You're completely wrong of course, but there you go.

If you're in the market for a Panamera you're hardly likely to be considering a Boxster I saw my first one in the flesh last week, and actually they're nowhere near as bad looking in the flesh as they are in pictures. Shame that the one pictured here has such vile wheels on.

Sure you're not mistaking torque steer for feel? An FR car can feel a bit numb at first when coming from a car that drives the front wheels.

Welcome along! Nether a 350 nor (especially!) a 370 is an investment. You'll lose buckets on the 370, and 350 prices aren't static yet either. Buying a fun sports car shouldn't be something done with the head, it should be done with the heart, go with whatever your instinct tells you to

You really shouldn't mix brake fluids at all, especially when changing brands. I personally use the Endless fluid, which although expensive is by far the best stuff I've ever used (they use identical stuff in some of the F1 cars, that's how good it is!), however for general road use and assuming you don't track it too hard then the Motul RBF600 is what I'd use.

Yup, that'll be why. Don't worry, I can assure you the Zed has better brakes, it's all down to the different feel. Do change the fluid and lines though.

Better in what way? I bet they were a lot sharper, but you had less feel and almost certainly far easier to fade (not that you'd actually be able to try that!). Non-performance cars will often have (designed) sharper brakes so you think they're better, but really you'll actually be better off with more progressive brakes. That said, always a good idea to change your brake fluid once a year and pop some braided brakelines on there as well.

Have you broken them in yet?

It's called fronting and is both fraudulant and stupid to do. If you can't afford to insure a car properly, buy a cheaper/crappier car.

Nope, T1-Rs are crap with light cars too: i've tracked in both an mr2 mk3 and a VXR220 and melted them on both. Toyos are great for those terrified of a bit of water as that's their strong point, but they're not a serious performance tyre at all IMHO. I've yet to try the R1-R, but after reports from other users I feel they will quickly become the ultimate fast road and track tyre: sane compound as R888 but with more tread to dispel standing water.

That's beautiful If it looks as good on the front of the car as I suspect it will, I'll definitely have to have one. Much better than the faded plastic badge on there atm anyway.

Even better, those guys are pretty much the only people I'd consider buying a 911 from. That is utterly stunning

996.1? You have to buy that if you can! It'll wee all over every other car on your list in terms of performance and fun, and will hold its value much better too.

I wouldn't call £360/£540 (996) or £460/£610 (Cayman) ridiculous tbh. My personal choice would be a Cayman S or M3 CS, or the Vette if you fancy something really different.

Mustang or Corvette would be on my list as well.
