Ultimately, this. No-one is going to like everything you do, so just go with your gut and take a punt. FWIW, I definitely wouldn't put the blue-tipped ones on your car with it being that colour. I might go gloss black to blend in with the pumper but that might be too subtle for you, although I think it would work perfectly with the wheels.

Really, anything like that will do. Unless you're tracking 24/7, or FI, then pretty much anything around those grades will work on the DE/HR engines without a lot of fuss. I may not specifically buy those, but if I had some knocking around or could get it much cheaper in those grades then I'd happily put it in my car.

If regular tyres are lasting you 9K, then I'd expect Cup 2s to see about 6k at a guess. Bearing in mind it's a LOT harder to slide the Cup 2s unless you're doing silly speeds or are Billy Big Balls, so if you currently slip a lot on regular tyres then you may well get closer to your usual mileage.

I'm more offended by those god-awful mudflaps

That's the cheap stuff I've personally tried their Vintage wax at over £2K per tub. It's good, well in fact it's bloody fantastic, but I'd never in a million years pay that much for a wax.

The Cup 2s are much, much better than the Cup 1s in the wet. A lot of the GT3/RS guys are happily running these year round, including Euro trips. Hellishly expensive, but the ultimate if you can cope with the cost and the wear.

And that, ladies and gents, is how you join a forum.

Yeah, it'll be fine. 5W-30 is the recommended, but 5W-40 isn't a million miles away and I'd be happy with that especially as it's decent stuff.

Neither, the width

As a rule, exhaust tips should not be bigger than the size of your engine. Exceptions are any Lambo, and a mk4 Supra with a dirty great turbo strapped to it with a huge single box at the rear.

Our old Blobeye was stock! Assuming you don't include the PPP of course.

It is true. They can go up, but they can also go down. Mine did, after I binned a Cayman R the other year. Completely my fault, but makes no difference to my premium at all. It's the exception rather than the rule, but it does happen.

It's a myth that premiums always go up if you have accident or make a claim.

Basically, p*ss-poor engineering by Nissan with the 370.

The extra support is well worth the trade off, by a country mile.

The saloons, yes. 6 series too has diesel and petrol lumps, although that's more sports GT than outright sports car.

Almost all aftermarket buckets will sit higher sadly, unless you forego the ability to slide or want to fix directly to the floor pan. Not all, and some brackets are better than others, but it's a pain.

Oh hell yeah, that's a good point, as ruling out different engine sizes also rules out the Elise/Exige range! Yes, I think we've definitely proved that rule is dead and redundant.

Let's not forget the MX-5, the very definition of sports car!

No-one with a Ferrari tattoo can ever comment on anything with regards to taste.

Nothing wrong with buckets, they're more supportive and I find them vastly more comfortable than regular seats in cars. However, you MUST get ones that you find comfortable, so try as many as you can before purchasing. PS I'm 36 and I'm still fitting buckets

BP Ultimate is absolutely fine. It conforms to the BS for super unleaded, which is the exact same standard that Tesco, Shell, Esso and all the other companies that make super unleaded have to conform to. Check the label on the pump, I promise you it's the same number.

Temp you can control, pressure you can't. Knowing the temp is too hot allows to back off until you've seen it drop a bit, or drop right down, whatever you feel happy with. Pressure knowledge is only needed to know if you have it, or you don't. A simple red light works just as well, and would lead to far less worrying from owners who don't really understand it. How many people have we had here over the years worrying about their oil pressure, when all they need to know is that anywhere between on the scale is perfectly fine? Granted, that same group of people may well panic if the oil temp hits 110c or whatever, so you can argue the same applies. Still, I know what I'd rather have.

Oil temp is much more useful than oil pressure. Means you can keep a balanced eye on the overall running of the engine that you can have practical control over, rather than worry about whether it should be 20psi or 30psi.
