If you went back to 18"s, I can guarantee you would though I thought the same between the OEM 18"s and the Rays, and it was night and day when I went back to the latter. Couldn't believe the difference it made tbh, it's adding weight at the worst possible place you can.

Highly likely, RE050s are very good in the wet, even when worn. Give the release agent a chance to wear off though.

You've changed from decent tyres with a stiff sidewall to cheaper tyres with a floppy sidewall, this will make a huge difference to feeling. Try pumping the pressures up 2-3 psi, see if that helps, but don't expect the crisp handling you had on the Bridgestones.

You can if you want, however you will absolutely murder the ride quality as the suspension wasn't designed for run flats. However, in terms of whether you can physically do it, there's no reason why not.

It makes me so mad, I almost a kitten.

Sarcasm is for the lazy, so I thought you'd appreciate it.

So it's total benefits rather than just child ones, then?

If you had searched a teensy bit harder, you would've found that you either use the hack or you change the head unit. If you really want sub-standard sound you can also use a tape adaptor. Loads of info on this out there.

Sounds like a dodgy bit of reporting to me that one, probably taking other benefits into account along with the standard child one. At least, I would hope.

But I know which would drive better whether it drives £20K better is another question entirely. The Porker nav system is one of the best I've used in terms of routing and clarity, but only having half postcode search is unacceptable in this day and age.

And you think things will be better?

Tax avoidance is fair game, no different to blagging free beer when Tesco muck up their spend a fiver and we give you free stuff kind of offers. HMRC are the most incompetent bunch of c*nts I've ever dealt with, and if they're too retarded to close loopholes then fair play to people who use them.

I'm currently knocking around in a base Cayman, and aside from the ridiculously big wheels on it it's actually pretty good. I wonder if a lightly specced Boxster might be a better choice if I do swap, could save myself £8K if I hold back on some of the fancier options.

Trouble is, if you only give houses to folks on the housing list in cheapy areas, you end up with making a social divide even bigger. Not that I particularly agree or care about that side of things, but that's the reason I believe. Social integration and all that is b*llocks, if people want to live in nive houses they should work hard for it like the rest of us have to. Can't afford a 5-bed house for all your kids? Not a problem, take the kids off them and give them to families on the adoption list and that those who want IVF on the NHS. Also worth remembering that the £26K is a cap, not what most families will receive before we get too Daily Mail in here

Wait, haven't you got the plate off yet? If not it's too late to sell privately unless you're prepared to trust a stranger or get a cast-iron contract drawn up between you when he buys it. Tbh unless a private seller is going to offer more than a garage then I'd just chop it in. Not worth the hassle IMHO.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'd give 'em £10K tops. Surely there's better EBCs out there now than the Profec E-01 too, I was using one of those almost ten years ago on my old mk3 MR2!

I suspect some Black Hole glaze would cover it up quite nicely, however it wouldn't repair it. Ricey has got it right, G3 & DA for removal.

Oooooo me likey

Because my 350z is a road car and I'm not chasing tenths on the daily commute . The tyres don't make it any less fun to schlep around Oulton park either. The money I saved pays for a couple of trackdays, or half a cheap holiday... They also increase your braking distance which will come in quite handy in both situations, as well as giving a more communicative car which will increase your fun as well as your ability to get yourself out of trouble should someone else put you in a situation out of your control. Still, your car, your money.

Of course, it would be far easier if you didn't speed in the first place, or at least have the sense to keep it below 80mph

No points = you don't have to tell them as you don't get convicted.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I just think it looks sh*t, regardless of how it drives.

VUS really aren't expensive, certainly nowhere near what the 050As cost so it's a bit unfair to lump them in the 'money no object' category IMHO. VUS at the least or nothing personally. Why put tyres on your Zed that will make you slower?

No worries fella, let me know how you get on
