lol I've actually been trying to find it as well

Not wanting to steal this tread but could I ask John what differences have you seen in your fuel consumption with all your mods? I'm looking to start down that road but do like my 25-28mpg I'm getting this now. Thanks.

Richard.

 

My wife got 35 mpg one week with the car running 18 PSI but I doubt she ever saw half that.

However I got about 15 mpg on this tank - mainly back road thrashing in the sun

Depends entirely on how much of the performance you use. It is ridiculously rich fuelling though.

 

GLUG GLUG GLUG goes the UK

 

For the same air charge I must be putting in approaching double the amount of fuel to you Shame I don't get much dense cold air in then, otherwise it would really guzzle.

 

lol cheers John.

Think I'll do a driving course at Knockhill first then possibly look at modding.

Hope you have a good easter weekend.

Richard.

 

I'm doing their 1 hour performance session in own car this week before I brave a trackday. Apparently you get about 25 laps in sessions/discussion tailored to your needs. I think my needs will be multiple Can't wait. Will probably run 16-17 PSI for the track.

 

Could you let me know how it went John as that's exactly the course that I'm looking to do.

Cheers
Richard.

 

John
Maybe you could post a rundown of your day. Sounds like a course i would benefit from as well.
Cheers bud

I'll do that. I had some road tuition (Roadcraft based) before which helped my observation, smoothness and safety and made me much more stable in corners, with a conservative approach - I never slide about on the road but will happily give it some where I can see. I use my brakes too much, and have to stop myself braking too late into corners as it unsettles the car. I've LOADS to learn about on the limit handling. I don't know how much of this I will get on the course - just learning the basics of Knockhill will be good to start with. The track is fairly empty at the time and you have the instructor to yourself for an hour. If you book a date when you pay you get it for £79 rather than £89.

 

Excellent - thanks John. Really looking forward to your feedback.

Cheers
Richard.
