Just have one thing to say....
 

..... I got my car back again :band:

It was as i was in :lovers:again :laugh:

:thumbsup::group::D:love::clap:

i forgot just how much i love this car by being away from it for a few weeks, it is just so effortless and manically fast at the same time.... This time i really dont plan on breaking it anytime soon (i hope i have not jinxed it)

Ps update in build thread tho so not all good :(

fook me with a 170bhp and 270ft-lb i bet you have had a few 180's in your rear view mirror

i would like to think i would, but tbh the car has been off the road so much getting to this point i think it is real case of tortoise and hare :laugh:

when it is 100% there i think it would surprise a few people - it still got 220lbsft at 4000rpm, a good 40lbsft more than the peak of the 180 :)

whats the mpg like on it now with all these mods

good news:)

at motorways speeds (outside lane) it still returns 45mpg.

the main factor is the right foot - if i use 50% throttle it is still quicker than most small engined ptrol cars with ease, it is when i use all that loud pedel i see the economy drop. Worst i ever saw was 36mpg.

Until i get the issues fixed i am going to limit myself to 75% throttle i think so should still get 40mpg out it :D

happy days i would be well happy with 36mpg in a diesel with that power all the time but to get 45mpg on a run makes it fookin great

i had my 180 remapped and set up by matt reidy and it changed the car it now got 200bhp and i get 25mpg round town and 33mpg on a run so looks like you win alround best of both world

the best i have seen out it was 55mpg since it was tuned.. was about 60mph on a-roads.

Matt Reidy does know his stuff, he has rempped mine quite a few times - so many in fact the guys down in yeovil keep joking that i need to get a set of overals and work there :laugh:

Glad its back. Happy or what.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice to hear its back, sounds like there is abit of head scratching going on in the next few weeks. Great to be back on the road hey! :)
