You can sleep in a car, you can't drive a house

Nah, no harm in what you did, depends where you live I guess. I'm not a massive fan of confrontation so I'd have left it as they could've had a blade, but equally they might just like nice cars.
-
Probably nothing.
-
Everyone does. Should've bought a 96RS instead of the 97.2 C2S, would've paid for my house by now.

Our Mini drank it like crazy, early turbo. The torque steer on the Mini does my head in, I've no idea how they get rated so highly.
-
Especially when that corner isn't even a corner, merely a slight curve in a straight road.
-
And old people. Old people are useless at indicating, or accelerating.
-
PSC2 are MUCH better than the 888s for grip and feel on track, but then they do cost a fair bit more. If you have the budget and want a track biased tyre, they're the ones to go for.
-
Except people who don't indicate on roundabouts though, right?
-
That's the thing, on a 370 it's not essential to use 97+ at all. You can use 95 all year round if you like, aside from a smidge of lost power nothing drastic would happen. It's the DE engined 350 that desperately needs 97+.
-
Depends. Cup2 are the ultimate trackday special and this time they also work well in the wet, but on a GT-R would you want that much grip? If you want to feel the car move around a bit more, I think the MPSS would be the better choice. Really does depend on what you want out of the car.
-
Depends on what wheels you have: The OEM wheels are the same width, the Rays are half an inch wider at the rear. Aftermarket wheels could be anything. But yeah, the Zed can be tail happy but it shouldn't be that tail happy!
-
No! That's oversteer city and an accident waiting to happen, you must feel the rear has naff all grip and your TCS is cutting in all the time? Go back to 225/245 F/R ASAP, I really wouldn't risk running the setup you have for anything other than an emergency.

Agreed. Impressive performance, face like a bulldog licking p*ss off a thistle.
-
If you map for anything over 97 with no backup map then that's just silly.
-
DAS6, but you stil need to know what you're doing and compound choice is just as critical, if not more so.
-
Has anyone ever been so far etc.
-
Although we could also mention the 997, since we're talking £50K for a GT-R.
-
-
Pretty much, yeah. It start off by making you feel awesome, and then you realise that your driving is so staccato that it's getting awful, and your transition to the power is terrible.

I only go to the gym so I can eat more food.

996TT says otherwise
-
I bought one. Thought it was ace. Three months later I binned it, as it's a pile of crap. Nothing beats your right foot in determining the amount of throttle you need.
