I was about 37 mpg @ 65mph. should I consider a new lambda or ... engine warms up as it should, and it revs to 7250 when warm, so CTS and thermostat should be ok

was the wind blowing when you had the test? this can be a major factor

indeed I was talking about gallons not miles ;) I was thinkin that maybe the US gallon may be standardized and used all over the world, that's why I asked

I was talking about the instant fuel consumption at a given speed, this shouldn't have anything to do with the average mpg, and re-setting the trip computer would be just an option. I'll set the cruise to 65 mph with the first occasion and see if I'm above 40 like fred said

reset? what do you mean?

is there anyway to do it yourself or is this a renault job?

just wanted to be sure even though 37mpg (US) at 80 would've been too optimistic!

I suppose you are also talking miles per UK gallon right?

you said that you had 26 mpg lately. is that around town or combined?

are you people talking about miles per UK or US gallon? my car shows in liters/100km and I want to see how mine is compared to some of your cars fuel consumption wise.. thx!

I've seen your thread some time ago, good job ;)

I'll try to remember that :D thx for the quick replies!

I would buy some cheap t1r's for the summer and also a cheap set of winter tyres if on a budget. I'm not a fan of compromises when it comes to traction/handling

while we're in the cat area.. the emission light came on today after I wanted to get the tailpipes re-aligned- this involved some banging with a hammer at some joints as they were stuck and I think this messed up the second lambda sensor Am I right saying that the second lambda is indeed the...

it's to be done then ;) thx!

I was thinking at the loss of back pressure bla bla but fcuk I'll do it I suppose I'm still opened to suggestions though ;)

Basically the narrow cat exit towards the center section (the one that needs to be cut and replaced with a 2,5" exit pipe) has a crack in it and without providing details the guy who welded it said it might not last for long so.. Is the cat mod worth the hassle? I know BTB does something like...

good job fitting these to a MK3 ;)

hankook rs-2. solid sidewall, good on road and track days. cheaper than most performance tyres also

many say red means you want to make people think you have brembo's. I think red will look good with most colours and there is a good number of cars with red painted calipers straight out of the factory without them being brembo MK V GTI Leon cupra Octavia vrs just to name a few

exactly ;) I used red on both calipers and plenum, very good quality paint and no problems with high temperature resistance

question is: will the k-tec suspension make the car faster than standard? if the answer is yes than it's worth the money. Generally people say the car goes better with these cheap kits but I haven't seen a lap time std vs cheap coils to see if it really is a difference I'd buy them though just...

blue vs black.. black I'd say you can do this cheaper by using hammerite and a brush

he bought the car with them on so couldn't tell edit: you could email here: info@ozracingltd.co.uk according to the official website they're the UK distributor

not true^ a friend has 15x7" ultras on his 172. maybe they are harder to get right now

had a read recently and fitting a de-cat will decrease back-pressure which some will say it won't do good to power or torque. so do you really gain anything from fitting one? my cat exit towards the mid section is slightly damaged and I was thinking of either doing the 2,5" cat mod or to buy a...

^at ~380 it should be good :) as I said if you go for an enclosed induction from a decent manufacturer and run the CAF properly these kits would work.

i'm pleased with my BMC. I think the most important thing is to have a good CAF and avoid heat soak. enclosed IK's will help

my old ones used to leak a bit after use and so are these. so no clue about this

yes they should. but to be on the safe side take a pic before ordering and post it here
