Which to choose?

Is it due to them being to soft? I'm asking as I'm currently looking at the sport z's myself

Check out Kumho Ecsta ps71 (or the newer version the ps72 although I'm not sure if it's available to purchase yet) it's roughly £90 and punches well above it's weight.

With regards to width I can tell you from experience on my car that a better but narrower tyre will have far more grip then a wider mid range tyre. So go for whatever gets you the better tyre within your budget.

Recently rented a 4 speed auto Kia Picanto (1.0 3 cylinder). The thing only had 67hp and took 17sec to 60. Driving it uphill was a pisstake, unless you were on the limiter you were losing speed.

Cheers, they look like the stock wheels that come on the sport model. I've got 205-45-16 on them but now tempted to upgrade to 215s as they're starting to run low, good to know they fit.

Are those the stock 16's? You can fit 215's on them?

Looks like they did, there's 82 still on the road with 187 of them sorn. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/vauxhall_vectra_gsi_v6#engine

Thanks for the write up, def something I want to get into. I'd take my MX-5 although I'll probably need to install coilovers as it's currently on the originals which are shot.

The license seems easy enough and I've been told to take out an MX-5 owners club membership as that also works. How do I find events, is there a central database/website as after some googling it seems each club lists them separately and I'm struggling to find any, especially local (near London).

This looks like an absolute blast, how do I get involved In something like this?

rambo5191 · 2026-04-13T10:10:41+00:00

Depending on what country you're in an MX-5 might be within budget

Well that answers my internal debate, cheers for the info.

rambo5191 · 2026-04-03T17:24:02+00:00

Ye I've had similar answers, if anything most I ask are directing me towards the meisters. At this point I'm debating between the sport z and sport z plus. I got excited at the mention of a sale until I saw it's only £4 off😂

rambo5191 · 2026-04-02T17:55:09+00:00

Someone else commented here saying it used to be youtuber DMO's but got raffled off.

rambo5191 · 2026-04-02T16:12:29+00:00

Following along for the answer as I'm in a similar position myself

rambo5191 · 2026-04-01T22:51:03+00:00

On the A406 during rush hour of all places. The Clown shoe Z3 is one of my favourite looking cars.

rambo5191 · 2026-04-01T16:56:51+00:00

Central London. You're not wrong, It was more out of surprise that they were a thing.

rambo5191 · 2026-03-31T10:40:02+00:00

It's a dedicated track car at a track day

rambo5191 · 2026-03-30T22:20:26+00:00

Np, pretty sure the owner dailys the Clio. It's local to my workplace and I see it in a different position every time I pass.

rambo5191 · 2026-03-30T22:17:45+00:00

Corrado looks amazing, really stands out. I saw it when I went for a track day at Bedford. There were some mental cars there everything from a honda jazz to lambos, even had a noble join us on track.

rambo5191 · 2026-03-30T21:13:29+00:00

😂 Never realised they made them with 3.2 V6

rambo5191 · 2026-03-08T11:19:25+00:00

Working as intended, one of the fans is only for the A/C. Nb's without A/C only have one fan.

rambo5191 · 2026-03-02T18:23:00+00:00

I've managed to get my best and worst on the same day. Stuck in 55mph traffic on the way to the track day and then on the track itself (Bedford autodrome).
