Itºs the the regular European tune. The American one has stricter emissions

Hehe - I figured the ECU is the euro one, I was referring to the awesome scenery of the "map" in the 2nd photo.

What a great area to be able to drive around it.

Even after all these years of being a member of Rd, I never spotted this thread! My daily runabouts over the past 11-12 years have consisted of:
1) 1996 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 )engine was held together by congealed oil)
2) 1994 BMW 325i msport (sweet engine but the car's body was rusting to bits)
3) My dad's Audi A4 1.8t ( heavy and a bit dull, but got me through a few dodgy winters with the Quattro drivetrain)
4) BMW 330ci msport (a great car that I genuinely wanted to keep. Until the following came along...)

And this is my current daily driver:

A Nissan 350Z. It's by far the most entertaining car I've had and the most impractical! It's the GT model, so has heated leather seats, BOSE sound system, all the electric gizmos one could need plus a lovely 300bhp+ V6 under the bonnet.

I haven't modified it though, or added race suspension or anything.

Because normal car.

I'm looking at an e46 BMW M3 next for practicality, but the dream car would be a 996 Porsche 911. (since they're relatively cheap right now) I'd need to save quite a bit first however....

Nice to have the better Brembo brakes as well . You are right about the 996's they are reasonably priced here in Canada. They don't seem to hold their value nearly as well as the older 911's and the 993's.

The Brembo brakes are great, but they eat discs and pads!

The 996's are starting to appreciate in value now, so if I want buy one I need to do it soon! (but I need the money first!!)

Yep i hear you on that. Both my Z06 and Jeep SRT8 came factory with Brembos but hey worth the bit quicker wear for the greater stopping power .

Hi,

Here is my current car : Its not a race car but it can drift

Meanwhile on my car I can just run OEM calipers and cheapo 20$ discs (and some good fluid) and put on some Hawk DTC-60 and have enough braking to cause a concussion with no fade....

Yeah well your car weighs like what 2200lbs and has what like around 110hp, you can get away with that. Z06 comes in at around 3070lbs and 638hp and GC is over 4900lbs and well over 700hp. I'm afraid that braking on a budget is not in the equation for me.

There's my Miata, but here's what I'll use this winter; it's a V6, it's really loud and backfires a lot, the clutch is like thick molasse and the steering bushings are shot. Oh, and open diff.

Huh, not that i know you on a personal level but i never thought that you would ever get a Mustang. Wonder how that thing will do when it really starts to snow. "Clutch is like thick molasse"....lol!!

It's actually my brother's haha. We're roommate so we'll share the car. Srsly tho, Americans were so much worse at making cars back then, the build quality is soooooo bad xD

Haha! i know. Thankfully they have gotten much better now. It didn't stop me from wanting a SVT version of your bro's car back then in fact i still wouldn't mind getting my hands on one.

My baby, used to be my daily now it mainly serves as my track beater. Quite the sleeper though, it isn't uncommon for my pit to fill up at the end of a track day as people wonder how a pathetic Firebird just set a faster time than their 2017 Z06 or Caymen GT4
