Before the bumpsteer mod I was averaging 300 -330 miles per tank, personal worst 270.
Since the guys at Power Station did the bumpsteer mod a couple of months ago, the car handles so much better I am now only getting 270 - 300 miles per tank and new personal worst 220 !! Its great to get so much extra enjoyment/performance whilst still well within the car's limits. I feel its now so much more to my liking I am giving it more welly more often, just because it is possible. Perhaps when the novelty wears off in a year or so I'll get back to better fuel economy - or maybe not. Cheers guys - love it!!

Is that the best you can do?

My personal worst (Devon to Wapping 216 miles) is two and a half tanks of fuel - estimate 120 litres or 24 gallons (ish)

hmmm.... 9mpg .. oh but that the best 2 hours (including 3 fuel stops) I ever had whilst keeping my pants on !!!

It couldn't be anything do with your right foot enjoying all that extra control, could it?

 

Charlie P !!!! - either your car has a fuel leak or you must have driven like a lucking funatic !!
Cheers Pete - might have something to do with the right foot. Am getting Basildon withdrawal symptoms - must get a price for fittin an A pillar boost gauge off you (either supply+fit Autometer white background - Phantom ? - or labour only - whichever)

Mr Croney
You are a fine one to speak - ever since we had your exhausts fitted we are both driving through narrow streets in town in second instead of third or fourth - why's that then??

 

So you can pick up 15yr old skool kids and be like me!

 

Are there any left???

 

Yeah, loads, i've moved onto 6th formers!, you need to get there in the week though! ,

 

330 miles out of a tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish. I got to 320 once and I was driving like a granny because my tyres were completly shot.
I do well if I get 280 out of a tank, normally about 260 and that includes doing over 100 miles on a motorway at a steady 80-85. OK so the rest is back road blast, which is even more of a blast after the bump steer mod.
Have to admit that since having a SS back box fitted I drive round town in a lower gear than I used to and hold onto that gear for a little longer than normal when accelerating. Several times the limiter has cut in because I've forgotten to change up!!

 

Schuey - 330-340 miles per 55 litres was motorway steady 80mph, but driving fairly sensibly I usually got 300 - 320. Those were the days -or were they ?

****, thats my "usual"..........

 

Scary - we have something in common

 

erm, yeah, shes called "Joanne" aged 13 3/4

 

The worrying thing here is - I travel to work by train, and see quite a few young school girls on my travel, problem is - I think about Sunil and which ones would suit him.

I think these posts are getting to me.

Sith,

I know what you mean, maybe Sunil and Dave should just get married and have done with it, thety are obviously well suited

Cheers

Ian

 

What??? You mean they're not already!!!!

 

Sith,

How is the new steering wheel?? Did the installation go alright???

Andy

 

Andy,

Not seen your name on this board for a while now. Just lurking I guess.

Unfortunately the wheel is not on. We hit some unexpected problems during fitting.

Adding things to my Scoob is a not going too well at the moment. Things that should fit have resisted attempts. DOH!

I shall mail you off line, to continue.

Sith/Ian/Andy
Then we'd just argue!!

 

Dave, but thats all you both do now!!!
