Broadly I agree with the 2psi rule, however more people change tyre make and model than size, and most don't realise that pressure is governed by sidewall strength along with various other factors, as well as what you want the car to do with regards to handling traits. Were the 17"s 040s as well? I've no idea, never seen the OEM tyres for that size.

Hand back your driving licence for the sake of us all, there's a good chap. ;)
-
Pressures don't change on tyre size, they change on the tyre compound and the handling traits required.
-
I believe so. Or near enough as makes no difference.

Right, basically someone has fitted cheap-ass caps to your valves that have seized on. Now you have to go to a tyre fitters, get them cut off and new ones put on. I still don't get what you're measuring.
-
Check alignment, and drop a couple of psi all round.
-
Wait, what are you doing? Or trying to do? Remove valve cap. Pump up to 35psi, as indicated on pump gauge. Replace cap. It's the easiest thing in the world to do on cars, except filling the fuel tank.

Drive both 86 and BRZ, they are subtly different. I prefer the BRZ due to the keener turn in, but it depends on what you're after.

Oh lord that's pretty

March 22nd is the actual track day, just hoping for less snow this year I see you managed to grab yourself a harness bar over on ROC, good work

Seriously? Just go to Santa Pod then. You'll be quicker off the line, and then he'll murder you with all that torque. Ultimately you've got the slower car, but I also know which one I'd rather be driving. And it's not the FWD scrabble wagon.

Exactly. It's pointless as a measure of whether a car is 'safer' or not.

Bloody hell, makes the 458 look tiny!

HIG Capital are the one investment group, from what I gather. I've no real idea though, I'm only going on a bad Google translation and what STR wrote on FB.

Needs a bigger wing.
-
You said Capricorn, not HIG
-
Nah, no-one would be daft enough to buy a CVT
-
According to STR, it looks like HIG Capital have bought the Ring. German linky
-
Or AIDS. The bad kind, too!

Probably only get a three star nowadays. NCAP really is a stupid rating. How can you rely on a system when they keep moving the goalposts?
-
You would think that there would be a contract in place stating compatibility for x number of years. If not, car manufacturers are stupid.

We clearly have very different definitions of growler! NSFW

TomTom for me. I prefer the UI, but really there's no wrong answer. If you do go for a TT, make sure it has the ability to use ITN files: Couple that with TYRE, and you'll be able to plan routes with ease from any PC.

Something my missus sent me this morning, that she's using in class today as part of her maths lesson:
