  1. I would expect to get 300 miles on a tank, costing £75 (What's the point getting one if you're going to be light with your right foot?) My TT gets 240 if I'm being spirited, so guess an NA will be a bit better. Tyres are £100 - £150 each and rears last me approx 8000 miles, fronts 12000 Service with 5 litres decent fully synthetic oil, currently £12 per litre, every 5000 miles or so, Parts such as wheel bearings etc cost quite a lot (£120 for the bearing and £100 for the hub + fitting)
  2. Probably try to bury it. I had a 1.6 Focus for work last week, averaged 32mpg on the motorway (sensible driving). Absolute crap to drive, screaming revs, no power and rubbish economy. I can get 25mpg at the same speed on the motorway in the Supra over the same distance
  3. I see what you're saying, but I think you mean that electrical goods are designed with a certain life expectancy, either in terms of hours or number of on/off cycles. Things are not designed to have 'built in faults', but are built at a price to make them affordable and also to ensure that there is a future market for the next generation/iteration of the technology, or companies would go out of business
  4. Will be reading to see how this supercharger conversion goes with interest...
  5. And of course, everyone's favourite down in what we affectionately call 'chav corner'
  6. Always enjoy these events. Sorry Darryl, could have arranged to pick you up enroute. A few (poor) pics from my phone:
  7. Ooops. I take it you didn't hit anything though. It's a nasty corner - seen many car total the rear end in the wall on that corner
  8. no, but I'm going to Colerne Airfield on 30th

    Excel Help

    There's a function called DSUM which IIRC does something along the lines of what you want
  10. I think that TTC can lead to a boost spike which you don't get from normal sequential mode, as all the boost is coming in at once and overwhelms the wastegate, rather than being controlled properly. I expect that the boost would drop back down, but you've already boost cut when it goes over 1.0Bar
  11. Nice one James - hope you get the Intercooler sorted
  12. Hope you get it sorted Si.
  13. As stated in my post earlier in the thtead - was out last night and too many vodka's :looney:and too little sleep:yawn:. Only place I'm going now is back to bed:zzz: Hope you guys and gals have fun
  14. Nice one Gerry. Will this allow you to run more boost?
  15. Not too far. I usually drive through Frenchay and Cleeve Hill and work my way across to Wick, but can easily go ring road
  16. First off I saw Rich8v's red UK spec on the Bristol ring road, so went the same way to say hi. Then I saw a silver (or possibly light blue) with TRD CF rear wing at the Bridgeyate double mini-roundabouts. Only just saw you before I went off through Wick
  17. Cheers Steve. Looking forward to it. Don't think we'll get a site seeing tour in though
  18. Using these guys: http://www.motorsport-events.com/track-days.php Booked up to go in the MR2 to Colerne Airfield on 30th August and an hours instruction too £129 for the whole day and £50 for an hour instruction Got to get some practice in before Llandow and Marham...
