Is that off the trip computor or checking litres filled against Km travelled. If it is a true litres/100km then that is way over fueling for a stock engine.

Hmm, I've missed a bit, must have had notifications off..

Manual conversion will sort any auto control issues.. :wink:

BBM will give you some more low down power and a smoother band across the rev range too.

I had the splitfire plugs, but I don't think they did much better than some decent iridium plugs anyway.

17 isn't too bad for a young driver in hilly areas, I couldn't get mine under 16 when I did have the trip computer working.

The plugs my help burn a bit better, have you replaced the oxygen sensor? That also can help if its a bit worn or out of calibre.

Yeah I just need to call her and ask if she still has them. I got the fuel econ to 14.1 today by taking it easy and the o2 sensor is on the list.

I am now getting a new o2 sensor tomorrow because I checked and the one that in the lane is a three wire and I only have 2 wires. So im guessing theres something wrong there.

Yah, I'm pretty sure the trip computer dose it's measurements every 100klm. So you may have rilles over an it "updated". That's pretty close to factory spec though, well done!

Just ad a quick look then, and my O2 is 3 wires as well.

But if it was wrong on your you probably wouldn't get 14.1, so it might not matter..

Okay didnt get the o2sensor as when compared to a new one it looked the exact same but I have ordered some ebc green stuff pads for the front as the like to squeal so I thought might as well get good quality pads.

Old diff oil STINKS awful too.

Well its changed and it was black and horrible. Yeah I agree on the smell ive had a shower and I can still smell it on me which sucks but on a good note the hill I go up to get home my lane usually goes clunk when it changes to 2nd in power mode. Today coming up the hill it was smooth so smooth I thought okay its in 3rd I change down to 2nd manually no change which means it is running alot better. Im very happy with it now the reason I did it is because I know the diff is the most neglected part of any drivetrain. Well in most cases anyway.

Sounds good man..

You'll still smell it untill it all sweats out, like onion and garlic.

Your right about the diff being the least thought of part, I've never done the diff oil on ANY car I've owned, except new oil in one I replaced after blowing it up.. old Holden Banjo diffs are like butter!!
