  1. So Horsham did both the 418 and the 354 dyno runs, correct? Are Horsham saying there is def something wrong with it? What boost are you running? What size pulley?

     

    What I’m getting at is this is lacking in details and Horsham know their stuff, so I’m surprised if they can’t fix it or give you a hint as to where to go next. 

  2. Without replacing the entire unit, you can’t. Tbh I don’t ever bother with in car nav either any more, get a good mount and use your phone: certainly the bigger models (Max, Plus sizes) are more than capable of giving you the info you need clearly. 

  3. And yet battery life is easy to determine by plugging it in, if the on board computer doesn’t tell you anyway. Got a source for this, cos everywhere I look people are happily buying these with no concerns (or maybe they’re burying their concerns!)?

  4. Easy answer: they cannot change coverage mid-term, as that’s not the contract they agreed to and the exact details should be in the policy handbook they gave you at inception. 
     

    In terms of dragging the car off circuit and then ringing them it’s up to them: if they say you must’ve been there and you’re pulling a fast one, it’s the same as insurance claims at a track day crash so my guess it they’ll say no and get you to argue the toss long after the incident. Practically speaking I would imagine it’ll be 50/50 on the guy that actually turns up, worst case you can say you were spectating but not involved. 

  5. Yeah, not like I owned both or anything. 
     

    Fine, a 9x7 costs a little more at a service cos it needs more oil than a Z33 every time. That cost is offset by being better on fuel, hence I stand by my comment.

  6. Again, a 9x7 costs the same to run and maintain as a 350Z. Yes if the big bits go it’s more expensive, but that’s no more common between either marque. Get a manual ‘box (which you should), a couple of £25 rad protectors for the front grills (no brainer), a boroscope engine inspection (because you’d be mad not to) and you really don’t need a warranty.

    Doc a 987 isn't a 986 with a roof, you know this.

     

    And Ekona to flat out say a 987 is a better car than a z is idiotic, they are different cars once a mid engined sports car other is a traditional GT car. An s class is a better car than a 987.

    Ironically, the 987 does GT better than either Z mentioned here, as well as being more sporty and having likely having more luggage space (that one’s a guess, before anyone finds a YT video proving me wrong!). They’re the two cars being compared by the OP, so I think it’s fair of me to say one is better than the other. In the bits where I have said the 987 is better, can you honestly argue that I’m wrong on any count?

  8. There will always be a premium on the EV stuff right now, manufacturers would be bonkers not to take advantage of early adopters while they can. 
     

    What will really hurt is when we get a mainstream performance EV that doesn’t cost a bomb. Then watch what happens…

  9. I can’t believe that anyone is seriously arguing that a 987 isn’t better than a Z33 (or a Z34, for that matter) in any way that matters. Yes it should be better because of the initial cost, but still it’s better. 
     

    Whether the individual prefers it or not is a different kettle of fish, of course. 
     

    And yes, the Z33 is great value for the money. The 987 just happens to be even better right now.

    And it has to be the S imo.....the non S at 245 bhp seems a bit underpowered? Even though its the lower tax bracket hehe...

    Not at all, I’d say it might be more enjoyable as you get to wring its neck without hitting licence losing speeds too quickly. 
     

    But yes, the S is what you’d ideally want.
