Nice car m8.

Coming up to 118k

PAS cylinder, under the steering rack has popped a seal so I've been losing fluid

will be replacing it very shortly.

Otherwise going well, still very economical. This was a 70 mph run...

estimate 50 mpg.

319 on half a tank, my furio manages 280 on a full tank.

Thats amazing !

your furio must be doing something wrong as my old quiky not matter how much I battered it did close to 400miles a tank every time.

Lord Sayer the Petrol Saving force is strong in you!

Wow i wish mine was even close to that it works out at something ridiculous like 30mpg its just to low. High mileage bad idle etc doesn't help its on its last legs tbh.

Thats awesome.

Is that with a none standard backbox etc?

Barry123 · 1st March 2012, 01:32

Cheers lads. I know it's not an update as such, just to post to say the car is still running and running well

I love it still. I can just be pootling along and it makes me smile.

Need to get an RR done of it. Hoping for 110+ at the wheels..

The backbox, well the entire mani-back system, is a BTB without dummy cat.
Wrapped Raceland 4-2-1 mani
ITG Maxogen induction kit
And that's it really.

Tempted me to drive eco now haha.

I wouldnt say mines bad on fuel its pretty good. not as good as that!

Barry123 · 1st March 2012, 01:51

Thing is im not driving in an ouvertly economical fashion it still has the xsi box with its ridiculously short 5th. Driving wise I'd say I'm normal and don't drive like a spacker, I bang it up to 70 mph and just stick there. I still give the ocassional blast from those bastard M1 50 mph roadworks back to 70. Or coming off the a249 roundabouts. Fuck knows what I'd get if I tried to be economical with it. It's cheap to run so I'm not too fussed at the moment. Tax is a bastard though.
Should mention as well it had the injectors ultra sonic'd a while back, its not running shit rubber and tweeqd off here tracked it for me recently which all will aid it with the running costs.

Most times i drive under 2.5k other then B roads i take it upto 6k max but thats only to have abit of 'fun'.

Yeah the tax is

I still think its alot for for what it is. I wont go into that as i have no idea. All i know is its OTT per 6month.

Right...

Been on the upgrade path recently,
ATSpeed/TTV flywheel - from wicked-vtr (cheers matey!)

Quaife diff in 1.4 xsi box - from aly (cheers matey!)

Other bits include alloy crank and alternator pulleys, replaced wishbones and clutch.

Start up is stupidly quick, it revs stupidly quick and it feels loads more keener in general. That diff is mad though. Took it on a 350 mile 'test drive' last night, about 340 miles in I thought I'd just push it a bit on the roundabout, bloody hell it just grips! Transforms the car.
