Yeah sorry mate, I should have made it clearer. It looks like this:

Starting to wish I hadn't

So Sam, tell everybody what mods are on the agenda then!

I have the full version where you can put in all of your running expenses and get a per mile breakdown and monthly / yearly projections... now that is scary even on my modest motor

To start off with i need to get the aircon sorted and the drivers side door dosent lock ... Should have checked these little niggles but im crap at buying cars. The chap i purchased the car from is a nice enough bloke and reckons that someone could have disconnected something last week when it went in to have the speaker looked at (kept flickering on and off) The aircon looks like its just in need of a re-gas ...

Im going to get a fuel pump and get it remapped, its allready got a decat and a decent panel filter so i should be looking at around anywhere between 360 > 380 BHP. I also want to look into some lowering springs, perhaps tein ?

From there who knows

Last tank was over 300 miles, good enough for me.

Gaijin · 19 Apr 2011 at 15:09

I suppose but the same trip for me is only 200 miles because I no longer have to avoid hills

I don't use the fuel apps for the scooby, it would upset me

Using it with the 306 makes me happy though

mjt · 19 Apr 2011 at 15:51

Lovely. I couldn't imagine having one, but enjoy it!

Oh, and 'only a regas' means new compressor in my experience

Gtiracer · 19 Apr 2011 at 18:58

Good choice, enjoy your new toy

it's a shame you'll not be bringing this oop north Sam, you know that this car is MADE for roads like Nants Sarahs

Looks nice though, IMO these look far nicer than the evo X

pespro · 20 Apr 2011 at 09:42

Love Evo's that looks mint, the spoiler makes it.
Nice house too!

I've had around 30mpg on a long run, driving like an old Doris off boost for 90% of the trip. Boost was only used for overtaking and probably only 0.5 Bar max.

However general day to day mpg, and I do drive like a Grandad when I'm not on a hoon.........

The 8 has a generous 55 litre tank, whereas the 7 has a pony 48 litre tank which will barely get you to the shops.

EDIT: Whoops, slightly large pic from my IPHONE
