  1. best way to improve MPG is weight saving, so i leave the wife at home only kidding lucy i love going for a drive with my wife and shes only a small slip of a girl she'd be better off driving my car and leaving me behind, i'm the weight issue in our house
  2. you should see the performance figures when you add the new titanium monkey nuts and the improved beaver duct
  3. fairplay, wasn't picking on you for it, just felt for me that its not very economical oil wise. but if your mate reuses it then i suppose thats recycling for the environment covered i do lots of short jouneys too but i'm just a tight git i suppose just have to look at our service intervals, technically we service our cars every 18,000 miles with the p2 and p3 being full services. the intermediary p1's are just an oil change. so technically we service our cars every 18,000 with oil changes every 9000, what ever makes you happy jerry
  4. as they say, repitition is good for the memory, i got told off last time for telling some to go search it as its been done so many times before and we have like 100 threads on fuel consumption, each one saying exactly the same. and have refrained from the other comments on how some peoples are now doing 300000000mpg due to a new dolhin valve being fitted, or an uprated donkey flange that now gives them 100000000 bhp and 2000 mpg. they all have to start somewhere and i was in a nice mood so i posted a straight answer for once
  5. zmanalex or R35LEE are pretty good with parts. they should be able to sort you out with one.
  6. i just looked at the website and they say its just a buying guide for the 350 if the 370 wetted your apetite. is there more to it than that?
  7. lexus has something similar that they are suing as a lemans car or something, but they keep bursting into flames or something.
  8. i use bp ultimate alot and its good stuff, or occassionally use tesco 99 ron. shell 99 ron is good as well sainsbury premium is cack as is texaco

    Toyota FT 86

    not so keen on that, but i'm holding out for them to revive the FT HS project. its on its off its on and currently its off at the moment. but i reckon it will come back to life.
  10. if you've go tdecent oil in then you should only need to do it every 9000 miles, that why we have the short intervals. most normal cars go 20,000 before a service. doing them at 3k with silkolene is just a waste of oil as the stuff your removing isn't even worn in yet. i could possibly understand oil changing regularly if you tracked your car every other weekend but as a daily driver i personally think its over kill, especially when 5 litres of silkolene is about £55, thats over £160 in oil a year.
  11. i fill mine till i see it in the filler cap and level won't go down anymore
  12. i had an accident when insured with adrian flux in a previous car and they were fine.
  13. your fuel bill will be like your trip.... epic
  14. another biggie is the fuel you put in, i see a differnece if i put cheap stuff in.
  15. my MPG ranges from 11mpg when i tracked it, to 32mpg when i do long haul. and on average its about 25mpg for day to day use. i'm not to worried, i bought the car for its performance not its mpg.
  16. high milage is do able if you drive at 55mph i get an average of 350 for my daily short drive per tank (i do about 8 miles a day) but long drives sitting at about 75+ mph on long drives can get about 450 miles to a tank had one journey that was slow moving averaging only about 50- 55 mph and got 550 miles to the tank i reckon i could have got to 600 miles but was on the red light and didn't want to risk not making the fule stop.
  17. at 200 euros it aint cheap though
  18. i did the carbon wrapped b pillars and rear strut brace, got the kit from carbon mods, its not easy by a long shot and i'm a technical person, if your not technically minded i wouldn't even try. or if your set on it; then i suggest a spare interior parts to work on.
  19. props are the most physically demanding position to play, i've seen more serious injuries on props than on any other players. i've been out for 5 years now with knee and ankle problems, and i reckon i'm about 2 inches shorter than i should be. hope you get it sorted and that it won't be a long term out of play
  20. he's a rugby player so that should be obvious Jerry.... he got really drunk, stripped naked, ran through the high street at 2am and then thought he could rugby tackle a concrete bollard and lost.
  21. have you tried the site recommended insurers they do a club discount for members on here. sky chris knott and someone else check the insurance section on the forum
  22. quite a few of us use admiral, and elephant is a sister company of admiral
