Iceburg RS 172

[paulmcmillen]

A few new parts fitted and MOT passed at the start of December, still going great. After going through another set of rear shock I went for a set of Koni adjustables - brilliant upgrade! Also put a new set of Brembos on up front. Weird how I've had this car for 2 and a half years and it still pleases me!

Gave it a wash and a once over with Werkstat Acrylic Jett, should keep it protected for a month or so...

Also been keeping track of the MPG. I've used the Road Trip LE app for the iPhone over 2,483 miles, when ran on BP Ultimate (97ron)

The app shows 36.25 MPG:

while the computer in the Clio reads 38.9 MPG:

That's a difference of 2.65 MPG... Though not as far off as some would believe...

Also a little pic of all the needles and lights on, and a 160 mph reading

Hold the button on the end of the stalk when turning the ignition on. You'll do 0-160mph in 8 seconds.

Is there a reason why this happens?

I'd love a Cup spoiler, it really needs it... but next area of attention will be engine mounts and belts I reckon...
