    2030 electric legislation

    20191207_160242 by Richard Beale, on Flickr Been there done that. Mine is for tax reasons more than anything. Long story short is the infrastructure is no where near there to support it yet, and I think it would be a struggle to get it sorted in just ten years. Any questions fire away.

    Hi, I’m looking to order my bbk just torn between the Reyland 4pots and the ksport set. I know there is plenty of good reviews of the ap callipers that reyland use. Is there any feedback regarding the ksports? I think there was a few issues early on but they redesigned them, on my previous car ksports were really popular and had good reviews. ksports pro’s are cheaper outright price, bigger discs and come in yellow which I wanted. Reyland have a lot of positive reviews. car is now mainly just used for fun and prob 3-4trackdays I’d like to do this year

    Morning all, We're still seeing a large amount of enquiries on our turbo install, along with the other various workshop services we offer. In these rather uncertain times however a lot of people are unsure about leaving the house to come and drop their car off with us. With that in mind, we've teamed up with a local recovery agent whom has moved various cars to us in the past, and are able to offer FREE COLLECTION from anywhere within a 300 mile radius of us in England, Scotland or Wales to our workshop for any turbo kit install booked in with us for the moment. We can either then arrange for the return delivery to the customer at extra cost, or the customer can collect the car from us and drive it home once the work is completed. We can of course offer to have collection/delivery arranged for any job, however this would be at an additional cost to the job. It is only the turbo install that has this free collection offer. Any questions at all, no matter how small, please feel free to give me a call on 01925 822 266 or drop me an email over to mike@tuningdevelopments.co.uk Alternatively you can drop me a PM and I'll get back to people as quickly as possible. Thanks Mike

    Our hybrid for family use. Took a while to get used to the hybrid idea, but it is really not a bad drivers car. Sensitive steering, great roadholding, low COG etc, and sport mode can be great fun. MPG is not as good as you might think, averaging mid 50s mpg. It would not replace the GT though!

    I know it's not BRZ or even GT86, but I am so pleased with this work that's been done I wanted to show it off and give a shout out to Revolve Automotive and I know there's fellow detailing nerds like me on here too. If you're in the North and thinking of getting some paint correction and protection, look no further. Usually I like to get my hands dirty when it comes to keeping my car clean, but sometimes a job needs indoor space and professional skills, way beyond my own. I've known Paul at Revolve for a few years via a 350z club and a while back he struck out to follow his passion for detailing. I have been watching his work online ever since. After letting him practice on lesser marques like Maserati, Aston Martin and Ferrari, I've been looking forward to having the right job to send his way. I wasn't expecting perfect paint when I purchased on a 6 year old black car, but one of my first visits to the petrol station revealed just how bad things were. As well as correcting this horrorshow, I also booked in to have some protection applied and a "little" job that's been on my list for a while. I've never really liked the black badges. First the easy bit. Then the template. All done. I'm super pleased with the result. I know chrome is not for everyone, but it is literally the only non-black part of the whole car, so I think it's not too bling. The spacing and alignment are absolutely spot on. Onto the paint. As you can see, he had his work cut out. But he was more than match for the hard Porsche paint. Two stages of correction has given it a beautiful depth, removed all the minor marks and a lot of the big ones too. Where they've not been eliminated, they've been softened so much as to make them almost unnoticeable. Also the wheels came off for some love and protection on them and the callipers too. He cleansed the leather and alcantara, leaving a layer of protection inside and a nice little signature that my ass has since dealt with. He also stocked me up on the good stuff from Envy. I am a big fan of all the Envy products I have used to date, not tried Iron Awe yet so looking forward to that. As well as the Envy gear, I left with some SC-MIST to keep the ceramic protection topped up. As well as making her look almost perfect, Paul's done his best to lock it in with a couple of layers of Envy Futureproof+. I'm impressed just by the gloss and I hope I'll be the same for many months to come, perhaps even years. After all that, now for the glamour. She came up alright. Looking ever better outside in the sunshine. Delighted doesn't come close to how pleased I am with the outcome. From following Revolve Automotive on Facebook for years, I had really high expectations but Paul's manage to surpass them with his skill. It's almost a different colour, much more like the 'Jet' black that Porsche call this shade. On top of doing amazing work on the car, the process of booking in, discussing what work was needed, talking through options for coatings, agreeing a price and even throwing in a lovable courtesy car - the whole service was superb and I'm really, really pleased. If you want to do something special for your pride & joy, this is a pretty good option. I'd be taking the BRZ over if it wasn't for the fact it needs paint on the front bumper and the Cayman has blown my budget for a few months. On top of this fantastic work, it's recently been in for retrofit of cruise control, had new rubber all round and a minor oil leak sorting. The good thing is, all the interesting mods I might usually think to do, involve adding bits from it's bigger GT brothers - which makes them so expensive I'm not even entertaining the idea

    I’m one of those people that has zero interest in electric or hybrids. But I can see the appeal/benefits of one. If anything my future car purchase plans involve adding more petrol cars with at least 8 cylinders to my collection lol Also financially there are zero benefits for me to make the switch as I don't have to commute to work. My cars are all for recreational use only. If all petrol stations disappear i’ll be happy buying barrels of E85 online. The more people that go electric the more petrol left for me lol

    I loved the DS2500's as well. Never faded, lasted 45,000 miles. Did everything, was very happy with them.

    interesting, this is where I would go after the GT86 possibly in GT4 guise. As I am charged the grunt wouldn't be as bigger jump. Look forward to hearing some more comparisons. Looks really nice enjoy!
