Personally, I wouldn't. You don't have anything else orange on the rear, so it'd look a bit odd. Red would work due to the rear lights, but again I probably wouldn't do that either.

I actually loved the old Ultrac Sessanta, but sadly you can't get them any more.

Match the fronts, or change them all to MPSS.

Mine was better

Lots of good advice here Ultimately, what do you want to achieve from this? Is it better control of the 350 on the road, learning how to drive on track, or just a lot of fun in a new car that's ultimately disposable? None of those options are wrong btw! I've done a lot of track miles over the years in lots of different toys, and whilst I've leaned a lot about car control that I've transferred to the road, it's not all transferable. Older me now views younger me as a proper liability on the roads, back in the day. As an example, blasting round a treacherous Donington last month in the MR2 in the pouring rain on 888s was huge fun, but it taught me very little about driving fast on the road in the rain as there's no way I'd ever attempt to drive at pace in those conditions on the public roads. Skill transfer = zero. On the flip side, Anglesey in the dry in my old VXR220 was a revelation. Something inside finally twigged back in 2007 and I've been very comfortable driving MR cars ever since. That made my road driving considerably quicker, as I had the confidence to push where appropriate. Skill transfer = a bucket load. Going to a mk1 MX5 was a blast. It was my first ever track only car, although I kept it road legal to avoid trailering issues. I bought a lovely example for £900, put the crappiest tyres available on it, added bucket seat & steering wheel & gearknob, a rollover bar and that was it. Total cost was about £1500. I learnt a hell of a lot about FR balance in that, much more than I'd ever picked up in my Zed, both on road and track. You had to be more committed to get the car to rotate due to naff all power, but the crappy tyres meant that it was easy to keep in an angle. It was completely disposable, so I took liberties in it that I would never have tried in my 'decent' road cars. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a track car can be bags of fun, and you can learn a lot, but I've spent a lot of money to get to the level I'm at. I could've saved a packet and probably been a better driver if I'd just spent the money on driver training instead, but that for me wouldn't have been as much fun as teaching myself, mistakes and everything. If you want to learn how to handle an out of control car, go see Andy Walsh at a carlimits.com day. He's my go-to guy for driver draining, and it's a stonking day out for about £250. Four days with him will see you better than 10 trackdays. If you want to learn how to drive your Zed on an actual track, then get it insured and find a safe track to go play on (Bedford is good, as is Anglesey), and enjoy. If you want something you don't care about destroying then grab the crappiest looking MX5 you can, just make sure there's no rust and it's mechanically sound. Btw, I've a standing offer here for any 350Z-UK member that as long as my calendar is clear and you pay for me as a second driver, I'll happily travel to any track day with you and offer tuition for the whole day. Did one back in March for a guy on here, and we both had a great day, he was getting some serious pace by the end of the day. Just another option for you.

No, the cat in the box is our kitten, Lexi.

Unique != better

Yes, but not carbon dipped. Either proper carbon, or just black gloss will look better.

Check where the redline starts. 6.5k for DE, 7k for Revup, 7.5k for HR. That's the biggest reason to get a HR, it's just more fun to rev than the other two.

Silver car, black wheels, then black roof wrap as well.

Pardon?

Thanks guys, it's appreciated. I look at photos of her and it just feels so odd that three hours ago I was cuddling her as if there was nothing wrong, but now she's gone and I'll never see her again.

Oh god Yeah, that's just a picture telling you that particular gauge is for coolant, it's not a light at all.

Just got back from the vets, where I've said goodbye to Geldof. She had a massive tumour on her face that was very much beyond treatment, so I made the call to keep her out of pain. I feel so empty right now, it hurts like crazy. Going to miss her so much. Night night princess.

My initial thoughts too, just wanted to check before I ordered as the silver ones don't look as bad as I thought they might. Thanks chaps

If I'd taken that much from the tread it wouldn't remotely have bothered me, but I don't know how thick the sidewalls are on these tyres. I figured that since I have a hoon coming up when I'm going to be pressing on AND on stiffer suspension so putting more load through the sidewall, it just really made sense to replace rather than run the risk of the tyre falling apart mid-corner. I always tell others not to scrimp on tyres if they have an issue, I really couldn't ignore my own advice now could I?! Whilst we're here, should I stick with silver wheel bolts or get some black ones? What's the consensus on those?

For anyone who doesn't work in SKU codes, that's STP Oil Treatment he's put in the engine. My first question would be why, and what was the oil level before you put it in? I don't think the two are related, but pop a photo of the dash.

What colour is your car?

Ironically the diffuser one actually doesn't look that bad for a one-time freehand attempt with a mouse!

Pretty sure I missed my calling in life.

Saw the title and immediately thought of this:

Not sure where to start! Anything and everything mate, you get random AI collisions, cars stuck inside the track (not a typo), dreadful online system, cars pitting on the wrong tyres, it's just a mess. If it was one thing you could live with it, but it's loads of different bits. Will will tell you that when it's good it's absolutely immense, but you might get that hallelujah moment once every six hours of gameplay. A bunch of us used to play it religiously online, but since FM6 & Destiny TTK came out we've all ditched PCars. If you can pick it up cheap, and I mean sub £20 cheap, then it's probably worth a go. Definitely don't pay full price though.

Pretty sure that rules out NFS. Even StevoD said the handling on the beta is very suspect.

PCars is your only real choice, but it's bugged to hell on both consoles. I've not touched it for months. Don't even go near Drive Club. GT7 is at least 2 years off, I reckon.

It's crying tears of happiness.
