My New Car, Bright Red MPS Content!

[The Chubby Pirate]

Didnt he fit Alcons to it?

 

[Ali]

Nope. I think you're thinking of Alan's STi...Or maybe you're not, but he fitted Alcons.

Allan fitted DBA disks.

 

[Dave.]

Noise is great, sounds like a jet engine!

 

[Ricardinho]

my mate has mazda 6 in that red colour you have. It has such a nice finish on it, not normally a fan of red but that is stunning!

 

[Dave.]

Here's the reality of ownership...

Compared to a cammed ITB'd Clio...

And the above included 2 1/2 hours on the airfield at work!

 

[Goodj]

Mazdas are for winners

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Mazdas MPG is FTL

efa.

 

[Dean.]

What app is that? I want it lol

 

[Goodj]

Mazdas are for winners

I used to reserve this judgement for only Mazda's with an X in their 3-character name, but these made an exception to prove the rule.

And I'm fairly sure most cars can delvier piss-all mpg if you use a whole tank doing straight-line power runs

 

[Dunn]

was you expecting it to be economical lol?

my Alfa 2.0ts averaged about 23mpg on a very light foot

depressing with 150bhp

so id be happy with about the same for ALOT more power

 

[philmots]

Aye spill the beans. What app? looks good.

 

[Dave.]

It's called road trip, tis a great little app

 

[jamier27]

My average over 1500 miles is 27mpg that includes a few runs up to hartside !
U must be hammering it lol
Unless my map has helped??

 

[Dave.]

I may have been "enjoying" it a little! Going to drive like an old lady for a tank, see if it improves!

 

[chriscummins7]

Awesome machines, never seen one on the road!

 

[_Tom]

What ap is that?

I love them. I had a "to do" with one and they are quick. What do they weigh?

 

[Dave.]

That's a bit better!!

 

[TimR26]

Downloaded Road Trip Lite to try it out. Think it'll just make me depressed when I see how much I spend on petrol LOL

 

[Dave.]

Had another little bit arrive today, grimmspeed boost control solenoid.

Hopefully VersaTuner will be released soon, so i can get it on the rollers and get it custom mapped!

 

[.GAZ.]

I like them.

 

[Ian_182]

Looks nice.Shame about the mpg...

When i test drove a focus ST it was sat on 22mpg which kinda put me off...

 

[Dave.]

And there slow lol

 

[Darren S]

That's a bit better!!

Dave - which fuel app is that on the iPhone?

Cheers,
D.

 

[TimR26]

It's called Road Trip, I'm trying out the free version at the moment.

 

[Darren S]

It's called Road Trip, I'm trying out the free version at the moment.

Thatnks m8 - just downloading the free version too. I don't know whether or not I'll be completely depressed in knowing how much I spend on the 182 though!

D.

 

[big_dave_r]

alright mate. where did you get the tactrix from and how much? im waiting for the versatuner aswell shouldnt be long now. i just realised that its you that is badgeruing them regarding mps 3 compatability on the versatuner forum lol
are you on mpsowners?

 

[Dave.]

Lol I was promised a beta to test but he's gone quiet lol

I ordered on bank holiday Monday from tactrix themselves in Seattle USA, arrived Wednesday!! I didn't think that fast was possible!!

 

[Dave.]

It's slowly improving!!

 

[Ian_182]

Looks like a very good little ap...

 

[_Tom]

Im loving this ap. I only have the free one and added a couple of top ups. Seems to be getting 31mpg out of the Bora.

I must say, i saw a red MPS the other day and had to admire. I really like them.

 

[Dave.]

Well i got her mapped...

First Map..

Second attempt..

Final Map...

For a standard car with just a map im pretty bloody pleased!!



343.1 lb/ft.. Om Nom Nom!

 

[theduck]

Very nice

 

[mwn11]

Yours made the highest there? even though its standard?

 

[Rob_]

No fueling graph? :S

 

[Dave.]

Yes, but was running a lot of boost on the second map!

 

[Šįk]

Good figures!!

 

[Dave.]

a lot of the cars there were not mapped, but the silver car has all mods on stock turbo, but clearly had big boost leak when on dyno, sounded very whooshy lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

More to the point, how does it handle the 300bhp?

 

[_Tom]

Nice, but 20% transmition loss? IS that not a little high?

I bet it sounds lovely with mooore booooost!

 

[Gray]

nice result Dave, very nice!
