They certainly are flamethrowers !! hehehehehehe

I have ACT decat pipes, standard middle section, CliveF back box, standard end cans. Much Much nicer style of noise, louder, and flames. It's addictive. I think Don's takes it up a level.

The noise eyeballs out past the pit wall at Cadwell is just amazing biggrin
How do you get on Cadwell with noise levels as they are?
My car is currently restricted to 6250rpm.

That looks like quite a day out! It's almost impossible to tell on my laptop speakers though. I'll have to pop over and see it for myself some time soon.
Are you planning to take it to the Ace Cafe soon?
Should be up there for the next Petrolhead Nirvana meet. smile

clap Great figures and hats off for being transparent about cost's so people can make an informed decision! This was one of the things i found difficult to ascertain when i was researching the costs for the LS Griff project.
As a comparison i also ended up spending around 15k on my engine and gearbox for not dissimilar figures [480]
I'm only seeing around 360 from the 4L and thats with airbox and a few other goodies so good to know the big figures are achievable as i would always want to keep the sp6 in the 350 smile
I'm at Snetterton for the challenge this weekend are you going? As would be good to have a listen!!

Snetterton? It could be difficult - cricket tomorrow! Hangover could be terrible.

I saw yours at Poole - looked amazing. We did have a chat, but everything was so busy! Where are you based - maybe we could meet up somewhere else?

This keeps getting better and better....

Filled up with V-Power yesterday, after 145 miles. £41 was the bill. 149.9 was the pump price, so in went 27 litres (all these figures are roughly rounded up or down and I know maths isn't my strong suit).

27 litres is 5.9 gallons. This is 24.5 mpg, with trips to the shops, rush-hour motorway traffic, a few blasts and just general driving.

That's insane! Happy, happy, happy. smile

That is insane.
My 3.6 averages 18mpg around town (slightly heavy right foot admittedly), and an absolute max of 27 on a long motorway journey.
OK, its not great pouring all the money away, but what really drives me crazy is stopping every 180 miles!
What is the most you can squeeze in? I've never managed more than 45 litres and that was after running on a tank that was officially empty for about 20 miles.

I think the tanks are 54 litres, I've ran mine down to 2 litres and managed to get 52 back in.

Your sensor showing 0 must still have around 5-7 litres left.

My car seems really good, I got 28 MPG cruising at 70-80 from Birmingham to Perth on one tank, 330miles!

I had similar results on a run from Pembroke back to London when my car was a 4.0 S. I filled it in Pembroke, subtracted what was left in the tank in London and did the maths.

Not sure what it would do now with the TVR Power 4.5 engine.

Was that the 'Turbo Nutter B4574rd' map, the 'Driving Miss Daisy' map or something in between?
