Keeping the car running after you come off the track also helps :pac:

Only for a minute or so, to let it relax, even in a turbo machine a minute will suffice

My courtesy car for the next few days I'm happy out was expecting a micra or something.

Looking forward to seeing how the e46 drives.

Yea 318 not the most powerful 2.0l engine but sure a hell of a lot better than 1.0l I was expecting to get.

E46 has a great reputation so I'll enjoy seeing how I get on with it for the few days I have it.

They say every time you get a new RWD car you have to do a burnout test :pac:

If you're sneaky enough you can make the MPG show whatever you want...

Not bad from a 1.5 Almera

Yeah, like resetting the MPG reading whilst on the motorway or going downhill :pac:

I had it over 60 but I had to find somewhere to pull in to take the pic! Car is gone now, getting a respectable 38-40 from my 1.8 civic all the same though, albeit with slightly less horsepower than chriity139...

I got this (46mpg) once over a 40km trip.........



Very very boring, never went over 80kph.


It also does this if you like (I usually get 27mpg)

Car was ticking over haha :D

In the past 10k miles I have averaged 37.1mpg both motorway and town driving.

Vintagevrs: those r's can really launch off the line. Wasn't expecting them to be that quick

If you tried to do that with a modified ST with similar bhp you would be going back 2 minutes later to pick bits of driveshaft off the road

Yep, they're 286 bhp stock.

Always liked the mk1 focus, it was the first car I learned to drive in, thrashed it around the place... I'm almost glad the 1.4 was as gutless as it was!

I know, it's why I asked. I know someone who got a 535 remapped and got some crazy torque figures from it.

MetzgerMeister

If you knew it was remapped then why did you ask? :P

I knew it was between 268 - 290ish stock depending on the year. I didn't know it was remapped and just wanted to make sure someone wasn't pulling figures out their arse :P

Shamelessly borrowed from Facebook. Treated the Lupo to a Polish.
















Others have said it on here, but Ian is a true professional, and went above and beyond what I had asked.

I must say it does look great. The paint was already in good condition (for a 13 year old car) but I've never seen it this glossy before

Now put a few drops of water on the roof and enjoy the beading!

bennyx_o

Had a few coats of CG Black Wax which I put on back in March, but the beading wasn't as good (obviously) as when it was first applied. Beading nicely again now
