  1. Not sure a hybrid is the way to go... the Yaris Hybrid I'm driving at the moment wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding and' date=' being totally silent up to 20mph, is a definite killing machine for wayward pedestrians.. mind you, 57mpg is a big bonus...Spec K[/quote']Your hybrid is focused on economy, they don't have to be. Imagine our car being boosted by a 100bhp electric motor, that'd make it interesting. Ferrari et al. are already doing this.

  2. LOL! The reality is that a lot of drivers these days simply don't have any RWD experience, so they don't know how to handle it. It's okay for the more mature amongst us that have had plenty of RWD cars. It was news to me recently that when Mark insured his MX5 he was asked if he had had any RWD cars before (he'd had eight!) and was still loaded because he was changing his insurance from a FWD car (Yaris).


  3. Mine will get a remap, that will be the next mod. Not in any great rush though. Following that, chassis bracing as I've been impressed by how it changed the feel of RRG's TRD and also to Keith's turbo auto. The next actual mod may well be winter tyres which will be going on in November. Other than that, i'm trying to give my car a rest, 20K in eight months and two euro trips this summer, means it needs a break I think!


  4. Tried the T1-R on my DC2 Integra. I felt it ruined it compared to the OEM RE010's (which were unavailable). Way too soft on the sidewall, it really took the precision out of the steering.In regard to your other options, I'd save a bit more and get a premium tyre, especially so if you're not going to fit winter tyres. For the most part it's a case of you get what you pay for. Though check a few sites, you may get a better deal. S-Drives may be in your budget a good tyre that would suit the GT, I think. I liked them on my old E36 325i. They are a bit old though, so be careful to check they are not more than a year old.
