Expensive time, had to order 4 new tyres, new brakes for the evo today  opted for some 360mm ap 6 pots up front with new pads/discs rear  got braided hoses too and also getting my alloys refurbed to new. Fucking hate cars when they need maintenance  
going for the new michelin pilot sports, supposed to be pretty good anyone else got em?

I've got Pilot Exalto on the front of the MR2, would have prefered F1's like the back but I got a puncture so had no choice.
I've heard the Sports wear pretty quick but I'd like to give them a shot.

I never got the chance to put S02's on my MR2, they stopped selling them before mine wore out. They were supposed to be awesome.
The S03's no good?

yeah had a shot of a boxter-s
was fairly impressed... but then I got into my mates M3 Evo and it made it seem like a wee widdle toy car...!
The boxster is no quicker than a bloody audi TT... and is IMO a crap porsche
But your totally right, they are an entry level porche and were not intended for outright performance

Would of though the Boxster S would have been very similar in performance to the M3. Both around 5.5s to 60 iirc

Noooo, thats CSL territory, I think the E46 is about 0.2 of a second faster than the E36... which is 5.5

That might be the case, but its not all about speed, a boxster handles so well, and is a great car. I hate it when people like you say its shit because its not as fast as an M3, if its so shit why does it win the roadster section on magazines every year ?
