MOAR

Not any faster just has the Mugen body kit. Decided to go for something sensible this time! Really happy with it though, looks sweet imo!

Have I missed a thread with the rationale for buying one of those?

I understand that. Just not sure why he's gone for a CRZ. Maybe I'm just being totally ignorant of the car...

Wouldn't mind knowing why he's gone for that over a LOT of other cars.

38.5mpg? That's terrible for those surely. Is that all around town?

acemastr · 2 Dec 2012 at 16:41

What's the engine/electric engine in these? any power/mpg figures?

Nice Nath!
Probably the only Hybrid i've seen that i like (excluding the silly supercar hybrids of course).

Any tuning plans? HKS GTS7040 Supercharger by chance?

acemastr · 3 Dec 2012 at 08:57

I'm curious how useful the electric motor bit is, I know the Prius is electric up to 28mph(who came up with that exact speed???) but how does it work in this?

I guess the other real question is... does it actually get 56mpg combined?

nah no power mods, feels fine as it is. Some nice wheels a little drop maybe

Not sure yet as ever book figures are optimistic but we'll see after a few tanks have gone through it.

Just think of it as a 5 cylinder engine with 1 cylinder you can turn off and on. Nothing like a Prius drivetrain - This motor is bolted directly to the crank shaft.

Of course it does 56mpg combined - the only drivecycle i think you can call 'combined' is that of the NEDC. Combined does not mean a mixture of driving for a UK driver.

I think motorway speed they should cruise at 50mpg although thats on the dash reading.

Ah c'mon!

You know you wanna get 300+hp out of it

At least do:

The wheels and a little drop <--- a must.
Air intake (Induction & filter)
Exhaust (manifold -> tip replacement

)
Re-map

Jonnycoupe · 3 Dec 2012 at 09:36

Wheels and a drop with some rear spacers would be awesome. The car looks a little underwheeled at mo but its better to have your car than getting the car already with wheels then trying to get the kit on!

Where would you recommend for a remap Rossi?

Quint · 3 Dec 2012 at 12:30

The gf's new car, picked up saturday afternoon.

Citroën DS3 1 6 Vti 120 Dstyle Plus 3dr

acemastr · 3 Dec 2012 at 13:01

I can't help but think Citroen are getting a bit brave with their wheel designs
