Re: British Contingent
I am susspecting Adrian managed to get his intercooler done.
Re: British Contingent
yes all fitted sprayed black so you cant see it
cant say its given me more power but it responds quiker
and better on fuel for the last 24 years aprox 400 miles to the tank full
now aprox 500 to the tank maybe not all down to the intercooler as
i fitted a big bore exhaust as well
Re: British Contingent
Yes all fitted and he seemed delighted with the result.
Re: British Contingent
Standard G fuel tank is about 14 Imp gallons so 500 miles to a tank gives 35 MPG !
A G doing 35MPG is brilliant or are my calaculations are wrong?
Re: British Contingent
the plastic tank holds 98lts i was filling up after 380ish and it whould only take 80lts
my speed was 60 mph 2500miles mostly motorway
this g is a 4 speed alto 60mph = 3500rpm
Re: British Contingent
Thats about 24/25 mpg sounds very reasonable for an auto
Managed about 22 mpg from my 230GES last year on a 1000 mile trip in France - 5 speed manual.
