lol im after something relatively decent and quick for a daily driver.

know few peeps on here had one?

what sort of petrol consumption you getting out of them??

i know its 160bhp but theyre only light arent they??

 

chops says his is good - when i borrowed it it was terrible - reckon i put more petrol in it than my GTiR and it was v v thirsty!

 

If it helps... before the cossie I had a 405 Mi16 and it did 30mpg however I drove it.

 

hahaha martin just has a VERY heavy right foot

i stuck Ł20 of normal unleaded at 82.9p a litre a few days ago and reckon i did 150miles off that but thats guessin with what was in tank before/after.say easy 130miles anyway to be on safe side.stuck in a tenner 2 days ago and done 50 miles or bit more and still got enough room before empty!

so all in i think the car is fantastic!

another comparison is i left bristol with a full tank of 50litres and headed for home.its a 1.6gti box so revs are well high at 70/80mph on motorway.i had a good 10/15 mile runt with a golf turbo at anythin up to 120 too and wanna know how many miles the tank did to just b4 the light came on? 290 miles!

UNBELIEAVABLY cool wee car that are cheap as chips to buy and run

 

hes lying - costs a bloody fortune in fuel And if you mi it you get a heavy right foot with the conversion LOL

 

My mate has one, 190bhp twin 45s on it..

does about 20 to the gallon... lol .. sometimes.. lol

 

If it has a standard Mi16 engine and the conversion is done using the Mi16 ECU instead of keeping the standard 1.9 GTi one then you should get the same economy as any 405 Mi16 (or better as there is less weight to get shifted pulling away from lights etc.

But, you will rag it everywhere as it will be so much fun!!

P.S. About the Ecu's mentioned above, a 1.9 ecu might get just as good economy but I wouldn't know!

 

i can confirm that the FULL MI ecu the lot works a treat and as above the economy is perfect

i'm pretty tame with the car like cos dont need the rush when ive got the bike for that

 

easy tiger

 

haha - chop accept my challenge - bike versus pug over the cairn o mount road - my money is on the pug being the bigger rush!

chops no way does 20mpg and its standard! and v healthy as proven on rollers

 

my money is on the Pug as well

 

someone do the maths for me please cos i cant be arsed

surely its better than 20mpg?

tell you what i'll let mr c take the gixxer and you can drive the puggy then its fairer

and fairy muff the puggy will prob win but it'll also beat your joe maxi over there too

 

on several pug websites(i am building an mi 205 at the mo,with mi16 ecu!) they reckon you can get up to 40mpg!!

 

you gonna be after one?or you found one?as ill be selling pretty much as soon as its finished!

 

mate is telling me 175 miles to Ł35 tank of fuel in his...

 

LOL - I am quicker cross country in the joe maxi - ask watty it aint afraid of late night country runs in the wet ..... and dont bring the C monster into this lol
