bronzee Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Nicely done Mr & Mrs Jetset. Two lots of mods?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Took the roadster out to get a few things from the supermarket. A bit alarmed to see the computer reading 21.6 mpg, I'm hoping the last owner did a lot of town driving!! Car originated in Chelmsford so I'm guessing MPG will be better here in rural Wales. Main difference I noticed was lack of torque, came to a double filter junction at 65 in top and when I put my foot down to slot in..nothing much happened. Other than that, only minor differences that you'd get in any 2 cars of the same model. Just like my coupe it has a clunky first to second gear change, not as noticeable but definitely there. Sounds a bit sweeter than mine, especially with the top down Buzzed it up to 85 briefly and it felt rock solid, no vibrations, best thing was though it definitely drew more admiring glances Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I do that at all honest.....I had the roof down on mine on the m4 at 9am this morning as it was so sunny. Any excuse lol. Hope you get a few nice days weather to enjoy it before the winter hits in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 It's probably been stood for a while I used to get about 28 around town and 32-34 on motorway? How can you have less torque?? It was redesign to have more even spread of torque? Had shed loads more than Lucys 2002 import anyway? Go for a few good blasts out in it to clear it's nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had shed loads more than Lucys 2002 import anyway?Go for a few good blasts out in it to clear it's nose Yeah, you could be right, when we first started it up it blew out lots of condensation, the amount you would expect on a cold winters morning, salesman said it had been standing "for a few days", yeah right. To be honest I need to drive the car a bit more to understand it ,a few thousand miles should do it Cheers, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
