On greys and a T4

Done a trip to Birmingham,got home and then to Manchester.

Ended up getting 270 miles to a full tank.

Does drive well with the T4, a lot smoother than the T34.

Thought the mph would be worse than the greens but is slightly better,cannot moan there.



Dave.

 

Thats good!!!!!!!! Would be happy if mine done that

 

Get it on T4 and greys then.

Will work out cheaper in the long run Rhys.



Dave.

 

lol i wish mate but im currently walking around in shoes with worn out soles when i get a bit more cash though who knows

 

thought peeps with cossies are loaded.





Dave.

 

how much does it hold tho your tank

i get about 270 miles to mine maybe slightly less if i do motorway driving off boost with the occasional blip of speed

 

Dave

it all depends on how you drive it , what i find with mine if i stay at 3 k/3.5k rmp and below in 5th with the XO38 injectors i can get easy 300+mpg on a full tank....

when my engine was brand new dynoed 400+, i went to france and italy with the family as long as i stayed at about 3.2k rpm in 5th fuel consumpsion was very good ...i suppose it's how we drive them what discides the MPG

cheers marco

 

true!.

But i did not take my time in it.

boot it..take it steady...boot it, you know how it is when everyone wants to try it on.

Could get better if i did not use the turbo so much, but i cannot help it.



Dave.

 

Anything above 200 miles per tank means your not trying hard enough

 

i get 200 miles to a tank so does that mean im trying

did manage a personal best of 150 miles but I was REALLY trying then

 

so out of interest, what sorta mpg do you get from like 270bhp / 300bhp 350 etc, cossies?
(tryin do decide if i can afford to run one)

if its 15 or over im happy, but heard horrible 5mpg stories! i take it thats just rod-like cars?

 

i got about 250 ish on greens, now on blues its even less


but that could be cos i have a heavy right foot.

 

how many gallons does a tank take?

 

well ive done liverpool and back on 70 quid, not hanging about but then not over 110 either, average about 85 to 90 all the way and was ok

the petrols the cheep bit, parts and rebuilds are the expensive part of owning a cossie

woman in the petrol station in liverpool today asked if i wanted a receipt for the petrol, i was like,

"no thanks, its bad enough spending it, i dont wana keep accounts of where me moneys gone, or ill sell me car

my mate is depressed, he offfered to pay the petrol and his hyundai coupe cost him 25 quid to drive to liverpool and back

 

its 60 litres

 

so 270 miles to a tank is 22.5mpg
thats damn good!
stage 3 is 330bhpish right?

 

i never want to own a cossie now .

 

i saw you aswell dave! just near the M60 roundabout in denton, i was going the opposite way so i couldnt turn around

not seen you since york dragway!

 

Tony,

How about 80 MILES to the TANK!!.

Bruntingthorpe track day.


Andy, yes it was me.


Dave.

 

80 miles to a tank

keep scrapping them

 

omg dont say things like that!!!! ull put me off!!!!!

wait till i et one then tell me!

 

was only on greens then and a T34, about 350 bhp ish.

Was flat out all the time though racing,other wise it worked out about 200-220 a tank normal driving,well.....mixed driving.



Dave.

 

i have a heavy right foot, i can help bootin it

but with my performance on lfs i'll be takin it steady lol

hard thing is insurance , cant find any under £2500 fc

 

Pretty cheap, you want to live in Liverpool then.


Dave.

 

cheap!
eek! no cossie for me

 

getting 350+ on average with my t4/grey set up

guess my closed loop lamda works then

 

dave did you go to the hsbc bank in audenshaw last night ??????

right next to the brother buildings ?

 

 

No Matt.

Went to Gaz's about 5ish and left about 6.45, went a little bit wrong on the way home but i never stopped at the bank.



Dave.

 

My RS wont even do 200. Impressed with your figures.

 

pmsl i saw you or more so fookin heard you !

looked like you turned onto the main road from where yu come from the bank and booted it !

should of let us know i live right near gaz

fookin sounded good m8

 

i am scared to work out how much mine does
but i done liverpool t silverston and back for £100 of optimax
thanks jc

 

mine does blackpool to sheffield on £13

 

You could probably dip that under a tenner if you tried doin the journey in less than 1hr you twat

 

bloody hell, my laguna is worse than a cossie on petrol it seems!

i can do York and back in just under 2 hours, 150 mile round trip on £20 is that good or bad?

 

i can easily do blackpool and back on a 1/4 of a tank

or donnington and back

 

Lucky there then Dave

 

coooooooooont box had some more shit yesterday stu

 

you not on greys though are you

 

Tony
