Exactly. They're right for the most part, however WhatCar are to serious car reviews as Jimmy Saville is to babysitting i.e. really not suited, and you certainly wouldn't trust either.

Go and buy an electric pump and do it at home. The Michelin one that Halfrauds sell is pretty good, costs £40 and now comes with a removable pressure gauge too.

Also, you never fit a spare wheel to the driven wheels. In the case of 4WD, you fit it to the front.

How the buggery I missed this thread, I have no idea. Glad you got it sorted dude. Oddly though I would actually recommend dropping a couple of PSI with the MPSS due to the stiffer sidewalls, but that's personal preference. I used to run my Zed on the MPS2 with 33F/34R, I just found it gave a better balance but then that was in combination with an aggressive geo so it wouldn't work for everyone. If 35/35 works for you, then definitely stick with it

People need to draw the distinction between Clarkson the TV personality (gobby, deliberately provocative) and Clarkson the journalist (thought provoking, intelligent, knowledgeable). There's also Clarkson the person, but I've never met him so couldn't comment. Clarkson the TV guy is hideously irritating and to be taken with a massive pinch of salt. Clarkson the journo is one of the best writers of his generation, and I could read his stuff for years.

MPSS, Michelin Pilot Super Sport

:lol: They are a little trendier than Loakes though

You don't count, you have proper graphics and stuff down yours and you know that I think it looks proper awesome

Oh in that case I completely agree with you. Drives me nuts when people buy sports cars in dull colours like Resale Grey!

If they make them to custom fit, then get them in the standard offsets: No need to worry about spacers or anything then! I'd stick with silver on your car, dark wheels don't really work on silver/grey cars.

I have some specs you can borrow if you want. Nismo does nothing for me, but for some odd reason I find the Mini thing quite beguiling. I have no idea why, I know they're not selling at all well, but still I think the backwards baseball cap thing has grown on me. Much like the original 370 has, I guess.

Freakin' hero. I love this place.

Loakes make posh shoes, but have nothing to do with either the name Ken or the name Block. Which is a shame, 'cos that would've been supremely comical if the bloke who started Loakes was called Ken Block too. But he's not. So it's not.

Brilliant. The one month I stop is the one month the wax finally gets sorted!

Yeah, some can be a bit picky. If you have a decent cup (NOT the official one, but the original one that Dogcamsport sell) you should be okay, but basically what they're looking for is a secondary method of attachment if the suction fails. I've seen duct tape used on a 2-11 at Spa with BaT.

Suction cup for me + either duct tape or cable ties depending on the track and TDO, or I also have a rollbar mount that I attach to various things like rear view mirrors, half wound down windows, anything really.

I like it.

I'd rather have something half as quick but twice as thrilling.

You mean apart from the WRC team

I dread to think how much that's going to be. If a 370Z gets bumped up by £20K, how much do you chuck on the £80K price tag of a GT-R?

I quite like the brand, it's maybe not that well known in this country but I 'get' it, if that makes sense. It's a bit like Red Bull and their branding of sports events, but aimed at motoring. At least, that's how I see it, whether or not that's what Block and Scotto were aiming at I've no idea.

Just to note, it would be incredibly childish to add his published phone number to any kind of spam contact list you can find. Very childish indeed.

Great write up

Exactly. No car is perfect, but as long as you feel the good bits outweigh the bad bits then that's all that matters.
