Finally think I have managed to add pic to profile

Its taken a few weeks (mainly beacause the car does not stay still very long) but finally got one pic on profile.. more to follow hopefully!!

It looks great, but believe me, once its rained a few times!

[annie_vxr]

But from what I have been told the black ones go soooo fast...

Have you not heard that the faster you go the drier you stay...

[fireblade2000uk]

True, but you have to stop for petrol! I was only speaking from experience, mine is black too. A Green's special!

[annie_vxr]

Yeah think they must be its where I got mine from.... Well The one thing you do notice is that the faster I drive the more economy I'm getting.. on current figures If I can drive everywhere at about 170 I should be hitting about 40 to the gallon...

I've noticed that about the mpg too - Great innit? ;-)

Stunning car Annie. Is the Corsa yours too

[Mr_annie_vxr]

[BO55 VXR]

I find I get better fuel economy hoofing it as well and this didnt make much sense to me so I asked a bloke who I know used to work as a pit mechanic for F1 (as I am a mechanical numpty) and I was told its to do with the EPM PEM or was it BPM lol (maybe thats a crock of sh*te and thats why he doesn't work there any more Any way, cant remember the acronym now but its apparently something to do with the engine running in its most efficient state/optimal rpm for longer periods when driving more enthusiastically compared to trying to drive economically which tends to mean more driving in 6th at lower revs which is not where a lump like this excels (I think).

Bottom line is I get better mpg when I put my foot down and I aint gonna moan about that

Nice.

I hope thats not your car garage, because it will take a while to fill up!

[74TC]

mine will look like that but with 500 badges on it and go faster black!!!

In my new one the fuel consumption, in normal driving, is no different to my last one and this one is not run ion yet!! The benefit of even more torque and earlier gear changes I guess. Will have to check consumption under duress when I get back!!!
