  4. Classic resto show

    in General Chat

    Posted

    Sooo last weekend i popped in to the classic restoration show and it was ok... But i thought i should raise these two points for everyones attention.

     

    Roddo owners club was there so had a weeee chat with them.. nice cars they had... 

     

    Then and most importantly there is a mk3 VR6 for sale i forget the registration but they were asking lmost 9k for it... No it wasnt even a purple one... :0  Shocking it was 

  5. can you take a look at my business website, see what you think?

    So i like this, however...

     

    Please note this is taken/given as a constructive comment..

     

    It is not a "Slick" as it could be.  By that i mean the functionality is fine but you need to remember the marketing aspects of your world.  by that i mean where is the imagery and items look that draws the (potential) client in to the.... i cant do without this... aspect.  Now i realise a lot of people will be going harsh/blah/etc... but my point is valid.  the first impression is everything!  Look how many cars look good but are pants.  people buy them still!!!

     

    You need to have some thing to lift it from just data input/download for the people that pop on.  Remember people decide in their first 30 seconds... Science out there to prove it not just my word.

     

    I know when i look at sites if the site is "professional & Slick" you are more inclined to think the people behind it are.. and will make the call at least.

     

    So i respectfully suggest that something to lift it and make it a little more Light (not just the blue colour) would benefit your initial contact response.

     

    I hope it helps you.

    yup in the members sections... So, Join up ... :)

     

    Yes to the red tops.. it will overfuel like mad until remapped but needs to bed in for a short time if on new bearings (500 miles)... Ensure you get it rolling roaded for the remap..and don't forget the zorst and CAT as it will eat them as well... There is an spark plug mod that is best and also suitable air filters and have spare Lambda etc.  Assumed you upgraded the brakes so you can stop.. and the oil cooler to keep that cool.

     

    Anyways have a read of the threads and keep us updated on your progress.

  25. Increasing MPG for a long trip...

    in Engine Tuning

    Posted

    just to add the same really.  There are links for hyper mile ing as it is called and I dont agree with some of the things like higher tyre pressures.. but hey...

     

    items to look at..

     

    Streamling.  

    Accelerate to speed quickly and remain at constant speed like your life depends on it

    Dont brake - think of it as wasted energy

    turn off electrical items not needed

    remove all excess weight

    Higher RON fuel is a discussion point

    service the car... fully

    A sports exhaust can help along with air filters but get made to measure rather than off the shelf to ensure you dont get motorway boom.

    you can get a remap and this can also help.  (I got better mpg once supercharged than before fitted on runs)

    slower speeds

     

    Finally stay off the beer for a few weeks so you have the extra cash and just drive it like you should!!  My preference overall.. :D

     

    Njoy your trip
