  1. No chance. No-one is buying the BRZ86, why would they bother to make another sports car that won't sell?
  2. What the hell are they thinking?! Please tell me that's a hoax...
  3. You own a DE Zed, you have no place criticising the interior of any other car
  4. Do you use the '2 on track? We had a few Mk2 Tubbys for track use and the Yoko AD08s were amazing on track. Hence why I bought them for my Z. Haven't had a chance yet, at least not with this one, but I will do. Tbh I was struggling to find anything decent to fit the stock 15" wheels on the mk3, and in the end it was between Yoko S.drives or the 888s. Given that I'll not use it if the weather is really that bad, I kinda just decided to go for it! I'd have loved a set of Neovas (the LTS S1 type), but I need 16" rears for that.
  5. Very much depends on what you want from the engine, ultimately. Personally I can very much see the fun to be had from a lovely revvy engine, which is why the HR remains the more fun car for me even if it didn't have the better power number. As such, it might be a better idea to sell your current car, get a HR and go from there. That way you're pretty much set regardless of what you do, as the HR is much stronger in stock form if you decide to SC that.
  6. On purpose, good skills. By accident, you need to re-evaluate your driving. No offence intended, not picking on you, I think I know exactly what you mean. Just using your post as a reference to make a point.
  7. If you're the person buying, then there is pretty much zero risk to you (assuming the car's legit). It's the seller that needs to take precautions, hence me saying that you should just go with whatever makes them comfortable.
  8. Thank you, couldn't have put it better myself. For those of us that feel comfortable using this type of tyre, it's a massive deal.
  9. Well duh, no road tyres are any good on ice, so the 888s wouldn't be any different
  10. Only 500? Bit overkill unless it's purely track use, but it's your leg muscles I guess... From a technical point, Clark Motorsport are bang on as usual
  11. http://www.competitionclutch.co.uk/nissan-350z-35l-twin-clutch-2003--2006_p22492006.htm That one??!! How much power are you aiming for?!
  12. You'll be fine. What clutch is it you've bought?
  13. Only in 40 profile, but I've yet to hear of anyone having a TCS issue when running these tyres. Much smaller sample of people using, though.
  14. They do, but failing to provide doesn't sell papers so will be lost within the main text, not the headline.
  15. So they knew the building was in poor condition and nothing about it. Crazy!
  16. So I was doing some digging earlier regarding some new tyres for the MR2, and was hunting for the right sizes in R888 on the Toyo website when I clicked on the 'Caution! Low temperature use' link. This used to say that they shouldn't be used under something like 7c, however it now reads that they shouldn't be used under -9c. That's a massive improvement, and certainly opens them up to far more usage than previously recommended. It very rarely hits -9c down here, so I'd be quite happy running them all year round I think. Now clearly for daily drivers they're probably no use for most people, but for the keen driver this removes a huge obstacle that was previously there. I know most folks will never use them, but those that do will really see why this is great news.
  17. See, that's where he's been a bit clever. Sure, the penalty for failing to supply a sample is identical to being over the limit, but it can never ever be reported that he was drunk behind the wheel. Still, knobhead.
  18. Good on you mate, you won't regret it

    Next car?

    Nah, they were only around the 320bhp mark and the car weighed nearly two tonnes, so not really that quick at all. IIRC even the CSi was only 380-ish.
  20. Far be it from me to criticise as I don't really bother with designs and that on Forza as a rule, but is that not just the Forza body kit with some wheels in black on with a black bonnet and roof (and presumably boot) and a couple of Ps on the door? I mean, it looks fine and all that, but it's not really a massive leap over a stock car, is it? Unless, of course, you're just playing with something realistic you'd want to do which in that case fair enough.
  21. Cool, thanks for the links. Still seems fairly isolated, although this is the reason that I actually bothered purchasing the extended warranty on my Xbone when normally I wouldn't. I figure that if I can attack both MS and GAME over the same issue I may have a better chance at resolving it.
  22. Bloody hell James, that's pretty crappy luck Hope you get it sorted soon fella.
