LiamR Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Just got back from picking up my first 350, what an awesome drive- it will take days for this grin to disappear!! In total it was a 270 mile drive, I filled up on tesco super (whatever its called) alledgedly 99ron @1.39 per litre, and only used half tank meaning the ride back I got around 38 mpg, outstanding!!!!

Southernspeed Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Good fuel price, good consumption! Yep I remember the grin factor of my drive home from buying mine. Enjoy! Quote
Humpy Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Nice one Still remember my drive back from Bristol and loved every minute. Grats again on your purchase Quote
SteveRS Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Congrats on the purchase mate, its the best feeling in the world getting your first drive in the zed Quote
Zugara Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Congrats, now love it like your wife, if not more...... Quote
Sam Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Congrats mate.. put some pics when you get a chance! Quote
4RE Leather Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 yes well done mate. Awsome fuel prices for 99 oct as Shell V-max or power cost me 146 yesterday. Incidently seeing as someone mentioned MPG. Since I had the GTM suoer charger fitted I noticed the MPG on the computer climb dramatically. It actually said on a 105 mile trip my average speed was 47 MPH and my Average MPG was 60. Surely this cant be right although I have to admit if i drive like a granny it goes a loy further than b4. Sorry for high jmping the thread and good luck with the mods as you know you wanna:) Quote
dragon Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I think all the members wont forget driving the zed home after buying, enjoy Quote
smudgedon Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 If i get the one i want soon, i'll be driving from Scotland to London Quote

sunshine Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 38mpg? sounds like you weren't driving it home properly! Just kidding, i remember that feeling, tbh it never goes away. Quote

MK-Ultra Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I read this on another thread that might help explain the funny numbers............ Southernspeed wrote: Dblock wrote: better fuel consumption? I thought it would be much worse? I know your increasing efficiency but I thought it would be worse on fuel. I know! But I used to struggle to keep it in the 20's now after 200 miles I'm showing 35.3 mpg. Djtimo wrote: lol... you know your OEM fuel PG Gauge does not work now! It takes a signal off injector pulse width and now you have larger injectors pulse width for a given amount of fuel is less and the gauge reads high. My gauge reads in the 40's mpg when I worked out 23mph in reality! yes well done mate. Awsome fuel prices for 99 oct as Shell V-max or power cost me 146 yesterday.

smudgedon Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 here ya go :-) http://s687.photobucket.com/albums/vv23 ... FairladyZ/ Saw this up for sale, not my cup of tea in all honesty Any plans for it? Quote
LiamR Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 plan is not much tbh, gonna get the wheels refurbed as the laquer is in pretty bad condition and I'm gonna have to get disks/pads, other than that its sweet for now...... until i have some spare funds in the bank that is lol Quote
KyleR Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Thats a nice Zed, my only change, (apart form getting it sprayed in a faster colour, like black ) would be to rip that front lip off and replace it with the Nismo N1. Good luck with the car and to the club. Quote
Bems Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Congrats on the Zed purchase. I bet it sounds great when you fire it up in that street with the sound bouncing off the houses either side! Quote
