Neither, however that's not what you asked. Both are quite ugly cars from the B pillar back and have awful interiors, but only one of them has suspension that is to die for and feedback that is extraordinary. As such, I'd have the Lotus. If outright pace is your thrill then the GT-R is the obvious winner, however if you enjoy a more satisfying driving experience then the Evora/S is better by far. The Evora is the only car I've driven that made me think the suspension in my 911 is utter garbage. It's not, but the Evora is that good.

No. As long as the repair is of satisfactory quality and is completed within a reasonable amount of time, then that's all they have to do. They may choose to refund you, but they do not have to. Satisfactory quality should mean that everything works and it looks good, and reasonable amount of time could be up to two weeks if it's something major, otherwise one week should be enough. Of course, if they needed a special part to repair and it was on back order of a month, then that would then be seen to be reasonable as you wouldn't be able to get the repair done quicker anywhere else.

Doesn't matter at all, you used the car as consideration + money in exchange for goods. You will get the value of your purchase back, your old car is their problem. Of course, they may just fix it now yo' gettin' legal on their ass, which is their legal right to do so, and I suspect what you'd prefer.

Why didn't you buy a manual then?

No need to call CAB, unless you really want to. Send them a letter stating that you require the car to be repaired within 7 days, or that you will be seeking a refund as per your statutory rights. No more mucking around, show them you're serious.

You're not trying hard enough

I'd go with what Steve said, 245/40/18 F and 265/40/18 R, they're as close as you're likely to get but then that's assuming you can get tyres in those sizes: I don't know how common they'll be, if I'm honest.

How much power do you want? How much lag are you prepared to put up with? What other supporting mods do you have? What's your budget?

It does, but that's an incredibly minor part of what wrapping does. It's mainly to prevent heat soak more than anything. When your exhaust gas is already 1000c, keeping it at 1050c (which is well over what wrapping can achieve) will do nothing. I've tried identical applications before and after wrapping on other cars, and the only difference you see is intake temps. For a giggle, we removed the intercooler and shortened the pipework by roughly half a metre, and I can tell you that made an incredible difference to how the car drove in terms of lag.

Super crappy awful.

How do you think reducing heat reduces the lag? A turbo works by compressing air and forcing it into the combustion chamber. The more air between turbo and chamber, the longer it takes to compress that air. Wrapping of the exhaust will not make any difference to the lag, only help to reduce intake temps in the engine bay, a feat which is better accomplished by intercooling or chargecooling. No harm in wrapping at all, but it won't benefit the car in the way you think. You won't be increasing the lag a bit, you'll be increasing it massively by a factor of however much longer rear mount pipe work is to front mount. I'm guessing at at least twice as much, more likely three or four times.

Best road tyres available for ANY car right now are the MPSS. The extra cost will be made more palatable by the extra wear: As an example, I get approx 10K miles out of a pair of 050A rears on my 911, my mate in his even heavier at the rear 911 T4S has just broken 20K miles on his MPSS rears, with a fraction over 3mm remaining. Driving styles are similar, although he's heavier on the brakes than me. Make of that what you will.

@StevoD: No harm in increasing the stagger, all you do is make the car more prone to understeer which is the safer option. Most manufacturers set their cars up this way with regards to other suspension settings from the factory, stops numpties binning their cars as they drive out of the dealership Nowt wrong with increasing the likelihood of oversteer either, so long as you know what you're doing and what to expect. It's just not a great idea to do it via tyre widths as it promotes snap oversteer: Much better to do it subtly with toe, camber, ARB and pressure alterations, IMHO.

You really shouldn't run tyres outside of the manufacturer's spec, as it's just asking for trouble. But no, I was referring to the width of the tyres, not the profile. If you run 235 on the front, then run 255 on the back, you keep the 20mm stagger and stay inside the manufacturer recommendations.

You sure? My mate's is def Estoril, and it's just an early SMG cab AFAIK.

Wheel widths can be the same, tyre widths must be different. Even if the traction control is happy with you running same width tyres, you won't be as the car will be massively prone to oversteer. What size are the wheels? You won't be able to run stock sizes on 9.5" wheels on the front, 235 is the lowest you should go really.

Yup, but Mclaren will be using the Merc turbo lump.

Not next year, 2015.

How much lag would you like with your turbo, sir? More pipework between turbo and intake = more lag. More lag = less driveability. With a rear-mounted setup, you're exchanging throttle response for ease of maintenance. Only you will know if that's something you're prepared to compromise on.

Yup, get under and have a good look. Pics if you want, then we'll have a look for you.

I got the blimp. It was worth it at the start of the game to open the map up and see where I was going, but apart from that it's a bit useless.

Okay, so maybe 7 mins looking at the time stamp. 5 of those were spent getting your link to work though!

Oh FFS I spent 10 mins sorting that for you

TA DA

Mine's taking an age to boot up now, as well as load up the DLC in RockBand3. I think the HD is on it's way out, however I'm loathe to buy a new console just yet. If I can wait until the Xbone is out, then that will have all my attention and I can then wait for the 360 to drop in price, then I'll have a spanky new one to keep for aaaaaaaaages,
