Scary thing is it'll probably sell to old farts who don't know any better

I bought my office chair bucket seat from them. Unless it's one of the proper seats i.e. Recaro, I wouldn't buy any of their knock offs. Just saying.

No, they're not, they're shite. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what a decent tyre is supposed to feel like, sorry.

Right, start from scratch. Not all buckets are the same, and if you're a bit chunky then you're going to struggle to fit into a lot of them. I don't mean superfat, just even a little podge can rule you out of the smaller ones: My Sparco Sprint V in the MX-5 is snug enough that when I had all my weight on I'd never have fit into it, and even at 5' 10" and 12st it's very snug. You need to have a good measure up, and even better you need to go and sit in a few. Demon Tweeks have plenty on display you can try out, so I'd suggest a road trip down there for the day as even if it costs you £50 in fuel it couls save you £1000 in buying the wrong seats. If you're anywhere near me you're welcome to try mine out for size. Failing that, go and get them to send you one of their red Motorsport catalogues, they've got them all in there and with all the dimensions you could ever need. You can do the same on the website, but it's far more awkward.

Oh I dunno, P Zeros are spectacularly rubbish... However, I do doubt that these Evergreen tyres are anything other than shite. Just look at the tread patterns, they're meant for shopping trolley sheds not sports cars.

Good, that Zed owner deserved it. *****.

452s are sh*t and redundant now, 453s are allegedly much better and I'd give them a punt. Personally I'd save up another couple of hundred quid and put the MPSS on, which you'll get back anyway as they're far harder wearing than any of the other options as well as giving you more grip and more feel.

I'm sure someone on here got a full set of MPSS for sub £800 the other day...

Not sure where you are, but try http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/ for a good price. The website is a bit pikey, but they are absolutely superb: They've done numerous sets for me now, including a set of Rays in gloss black for sub-£200 IIRC.

Lol I like that pic, never seen it before

Looks absolutely stunning, however that's about it for me. I'm bored of modern day setting FPS games, they're all exactly the same now. Still, if the next gen is going to look that good, count me in

What price are the MPSS?

The biggest breaker bar you can get your hands on, in 1/2" drive. At least 1m is preferable. Rubber mallet, for the times you need to give something vaguely breakable a clout. I know you've mentioned spanners, but decent ratchet spanners are a must have (Halfords Pro range are excellent). A 'Big Bertha': A long, thick shafted flat blade screwdriver. Often used more as a lever than as an actual screwdriver.

Speak to the manufacturers, they should have all of these. Well, Falken and Rota will assuming they're TUV approved in the first place, the Nismo kit if original should be possible to get but the air filter is going to be a major struggle: I'd probably just whip it out and put a stock filter back in, or buy a new one with TUV approval.

Are you Twobears in disguise?

I don't think you used enough exclamation marks in your first post

It's a sports coupe, not a bloody diesel. It's supposed to have the nuts revved off it! To be honest, if you got 'beaten' by a Transit then there's something seriously wrong with either your car or your driving.

Pop yourself £100 a month away in the bank, by the end of one year you'll have enough to cover all but the worst damage to your car. I didn't bother with the Zed, worst case is a new engine which is roughly £1500 fitted which can be popped on a credit card easily enough if everything else fails.

Awww

P Zeros are gash, too soft and oddly no feel. PSS are the best right now, go forth and purchase

thinking about it should that be who rather than whom ? Either way, I'm going to be desperately disappointed if that person isn't me! I like arguing with stupid people, as you get to tie them up in knots with ease. It's the silence just afterwards too, when everything clicks and they realise for that split second just how stupid they are,

They really are a bargain at the moment, but if you really can't stretch then give the Falken 453 (NOT 452!) a go as they seem to be pretty good value for what they are.

I can't wait for this, hence I'm not spoiling it for myself by watching any trailers as they always show the best bits. Same with Star Trek.
