oil consumption can be done to many factors, you can turn a car that never burnt oil in to an oil consumer just by changing a small factor. the brand of oil used the viscosity if its semi or fully synthetic yes the car can start to burn more if the engine is wearing,the gaps on the pistons in the chambers can increase and allow more oil into the combustion process. also some engines burn oil as part of its own maintanence. the honda s2000 engine uses oil as does the RX8 engine, both due to the fact that they rev high. oil consumption is not a bad thing as long as its monitored and maintained. i.e. if it uses oil check it and top it up. if it burns oil you can try a thicker oil, some oils like magnatec are very thin, so going for a thicker oil can mean it won't get into the engine as eaisly or burn off as easily. i some times think that people worry about an issue that might not be there, and actually its down to something as simple as the viscosity or brand of oil. as a side note, as mileage stacks up on an engine especially high milers, it can often be good to step away from the manufactuers spec for viscosity and go thicker to match in with the age of the engine.

i love the programme as it makes me shout abuse at the telly

whats he trying to achieve?

i'd pay to see that

i think they are trying to disprove evolution; poor old Darwin is turning in his grave

i got the XKR as it had back seats big enough for small kids and paraplegics, so when the time comes my wife and i cans till use both cars. for at least a good 5 years.

Did you use a foam applicator? I find these are exellent for getting a super thin layer down which is a lot easier to buff off and also means you can leave it longer to cure. I find if you put too much on, if you leave it a long time to cure, you quite literally cant get it off and I have to apply some fresh so that the softeners in it can remove the old and allow you to get it thin enough to remove. i think i may have just used my hand

options 1. put cats back on 2. swap to hi flows 3. swap to resonated 4. don't drive it 5. dont' use more that 2000 rpm in any gear with no spirited driving 6. live with it.

i think it might have been more to do with me doing a half arsed job on the polishing off and it was more noticable on a black wheel

Subtle sorry my middle name is breeze block

i think the rim wax powder residue was more noticable on my zed wheels as they were black.

yes its a horrible horrible raspy chav sound

poor little MX5, someone has ruined it

is it better to use than the rim wax; as i must admit i bought a pot and wasn't that impressed with it, as it seemed to leave a lot of white residue behind.

where do you sign up?

would love to go one time to see it recorded.

if you do the speed limit you can get it over 30 mpg

much prefer that version, think i need to see one in the flesh before i pass judgement.

love the cayman so much; its another car i'd love to own at some point in my life, actually prefer the look of them to the 911

XKR 22mpg @ 34 mph average

in your humble opinion of course

if you think the zed suspension is poor, go try a drive in an old citreon AX its like someone replaced the springs with actual Jelly. it doesn't just roll, i swear you could grind the sills on a hard turn in
