Tbh if people weren’t idiots and did what they were told with regards to social distancing and hygiene, we wouldn’t need another lockdown. And tbh, the massive jump seems to have coincided nicely with the universities going back, which I don’t find coincidental.

There’s a running joke that it’s always a Scoob that’s the first to break down on any given track event... I had a blobeye DCCD STi PPP for a few years, and took that to track days both here and abroad. I also tracked my old 350 a few times too. I used to run a mk1 MX5 as a track slag, and I’ve just done my first track day in my mk3 MX5. I get what you’re saying about the Scoob, but the easy tunability and availability of parts is incredibly tempting. You don’t say here what you’ve actually got, but there must be more to do to it to get more out of it. To get a 350 to competitive levels in TA will take a fair bit of wedge, and I’m not convinced any cheaper or more reliable at that point than doing it to a Scoob. Now an MX5 on the other hand, immense fun and cheap as chips, but TA winnable? I doubt it. @docwra has it spot on when he mentions Elises as the way to go. If it’s cheap fun you want, then hell yes a boosted MX5 will have it in spades and be comfortably better handling than either of the other too. Competitive maybe not, but you could end up with something as quick for a smaller budget, and that chassis is immense regardless of year. I don’t have any direct experience of TA, so make of that what you will in my comments. Having tracked all three cars you mention, for fun I’d be taking a stock NA MX5 over the other two for pure driving thrills any day, plus less concern to your wallet if you bin it. A boosted one would be nigh on heaven. I really want a set of ITBs for mine

That’s got oil-burner written all over it. And I say that as a defender of the Revup engines.

Possibly, but I can’t see anyone chasing her for it. Obviously insurance isn’t an issue here, I’m guessing she hasn’t got a pot to wee in to chase the money for.

But it looks better, and surely that’s the most important thing?

Well that’s your rep gone then mate

Waiting for the ProMax, so another few weeks for me.

I think I’d rather they do a 370Z body kit for the ZP, make it look less hideous

Sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful lady

Those bits will be universal, so either they’ll be cheap or everyone is going to get ripped off!

Can your local dealer not sort this out for you? Might need a 5 min trawl through the parts catalogue, but I can’t imagine it’s too difficult for them.

This is ready to go though. Even I don’t believe there’s much left to be changed. Sadly.

That actually looks worse there than in the original reveal. Some of the panels are terribly lined up, and that shape is not a grower for me.

Can’t even remember the last time I used my DSLR, whilst it’s clearly superior to any camera on a phone it just seems so much hassle to carry around when the phone will capture the moment in a far easier way, and with 80% of the quality (which, given my average photography skills, is 100% as good as I’m ever going to need!).

And Pokémon Go, ofc.

Need to see the difference in real life photo-wise between this and my 8 Plus before committing, but it looks alright. Not earth shattering, but no phones are these days.

Love it. Perfect execution, turns heads, so aggressive too! Apart from the sh*tty wheels, utterly retarded suspension and the panel gaps you can shove a 6 year old child through, obviously.

It won’t, the 350 is euro 4 compliant so I would imagine the 370 is as well.

Good reason to avoid Birmingham. Like anyone needs one...

Nope, drive it like normal but with a mask on. Job’s a carrot.

Just sell it as you normally would. I bought the BMW during lockdown, and proper lockdown at that back in April, just stood 2m from the guy selling it and paid electronically.

Buy the FRS if resale value is the most important thing to you. That’s one car only ever going one way in value now, the last ever manual ICE RS that Ford will ever make. But yeah, bright green cars are cool.

Hurrah!

And the smaller garages are desperate for money right now so are equally as likely to rush things, plus they can employ people who have zero qualifications to do the menial tasks like, y’know, basic servicing Works both ways. Find a garage you can trust, main or indy, that’s the most important thing. I love finding decent backstreet garages near me, to give an option from main dealer or expensive specialists. Choice is good!

Why use a HPC? Surely any Nissan garage can service it, it’s nothing special mechanically speaking, plus it keeps the main dealer history intact. Not that I think it’ll be much if any cheaper, but it’s an option.
