OK, but how about petrol consumption? I should run on higher octane than 95 after, I think...
supermonster - N15 GTi in Kuro Black
- Thread starter supermonster
- Start date
I only have an N/A 1.8 at the mo & I use superunleaded most of the time. It runs smoother, feels torquier & I get 350 mls to the ave tank. 400 on a long journey (motorway speeds).
A small change in the look of the front - new numberplate and GTi badge (Thanks to Liam for badge):
Time has come for some bigger changes than grille badge...
Few couple weeks ago I finally put on my car Volk Racing 3 spoke alloys bought off stufagti together with full Cobra stainless steel exhaust bought off Simcard.
At the moment that's the only photo I've got, more coming soon:
Whells have been refurbished, I did it myself. Coating looks nice but it's not a top job. I'm happy anyway. Exhaust is cat back, two silencers so not one of the loudest around but reasonable - just came back from Poland, 2750 miles in one week and did not need ear defenders ;-)
Checked and adjusted timing once again - all recent mods (light wheels, exhaust, timing) combined with running on 97 petrol or more gave me more responsive, slightly stronger car and what surprised me most - better MPG. I was doing average 320 a tank, now easily 350.

Sounds like it's all working well then. I'm not really a fan of 3 spoke wheels normally, but in black yours suit the car nicely. 
I wasn't a fan of 3spokes too! My idea was to have good make lightweight wheels and VOLK is one of the top brands in this business.
Simply: unusual car on unusual wheels.

I agree. But ran out of money at that moment. Centre caps are gold in the middle so I'm going to paint brake calipers gold too.
Well, my girlfriend doesn't like them... Tuff.
I think she will do without fisting...
