hickster Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Fuel result since the service is in- £20 BP standard unleaded = 156 miles (heater, sat nav and stereo on, a few cold starts and 60 ish mile round trip to get my wheels). Not too bad I thought, haven't really worked it out yet against the stock mpg figures.Reckon I can try for 500+ on a full tank though after sorting the gearbox oil and a bit more weight saving.

hickster Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 * £20 round these parts buys you about 14.81 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickster Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Rovnda!They don't look to bad you know!Thanks, definitaly one of their better efforts. I like the look of the BMW Minilites but 17's are a serious no go around here! I'll put up a pic with the carbon centres and correct size tyes on- much improved. Have gone off the idea of white wheels, was thinking about some Takata green inovits but the wife said I couldn't spend that much on 'making it look like a christmas car' she might be right. In the summer I might get some sprints from Tegiwa or have these refurbed in Rays bronze.Mpg wise Hondas stock figures for this car are- 32.8 urban 50.4 extra urban and 42.8 combined. If I can get near its perfomance when new I'll be well pleased. I don't drive in town with it much at all (use the punto for that- free parking permit ) so I think 47 is not bad; though I need to average that out over a few runs; unfortunatly my new 195 tyres will have a bit of an effect. The flickery fuel light also doesn't help but I note the mileage when it first comes on solidly so I think I'm within a couple of miles at worst.

650rob Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Quality build mate love the money-saving-and-proud-attitude! MG remind me of another British company that had a mish mash of parts on their motorcycles - CCM. I had one of their 404s' which had a suzuki engine, ktm suspension, and honda plastics! I take it a towbar mounted rack is out of the question due to the cost? Although in the long run you will save money due to the aerodynamics. Either way, we do not have much choice in the uk for bike racks - it seems to be a thule monopoly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofra Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hey mate - nice work on the Ecodeck. One question - how did you sort out the low fan speeds? Mine seems to suffer from the same ... (speeds 3 and 4 work only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
