Re: My 1.6 16v
How many of you guys have the 'nads to consider a homebrew supercharger? At this point in time, you have one post. I doubt that you have been through our worklog section. Many of us have one-off setups, much more involved than a supercharger mod that does not exist. I don't think you have the nads ...

Aftermarket strut/shock/damper query...
Okay, so I figure my front-left shock is a bit wibbly and now would be an ideal time to do the works - new shocks all around. Well, it's a fine plan, but I cannot find any supplier in the UK that I can source aftermarket shocks from. Which is a little on the irritating side. So far I see my options...

ok in that case tell me the weak point in a STI!! 8) Insurance (and image). Me, MX-3 V6, 7 years no claims bonus, parked on an open driveway = £300 insurance per year. My brother, Impreza WR1, 15 years no claims bonus, parked in a locked, alarmed garage = £1,200 insurance per year. Of course, you'r...

A small update...After emptying the whole 40 litres of 98 fuel I subjectively find no performance gain and a small (coincidence?) economy boost (about 15-20 kilometers). Today I refilled with 98 again, we shall see if this was not a coincidence I agree entirely. I've run occasional experiments and ...

Hi, i dont have a Mx3 but im looking into getting one What kind of Gas mileage do you guys see? How fast is a stock MX3 GS V6 acceleration wise? How does it handle compared to a S13 (89-94) 240sx? My V6 returns an absolute high of 38mpg (Imperial) and an absolute low of 22mpg (Imperial), sitting at...

Since the Explorer already has ropey aerodynamics, opening the windows wouldn't harm them signficantly, whereas the same increase in drag coefficient for a more slippery car - like, say, the MX-3 - would have more drastic effects I think this is going to be something that can only be determined by ...

I will add on: #11 Keep your windows clean. If your windows are dirty they are more likely to mist up in cold weather, meaning you'll have to put the blowers on to clear it. The more electrical load on your car, the more fuel is used. #12 Keep your car IN GEAR whilst decelerating. A modern EFi engi...

Just to add, #5 is more important than #4. Open windows will obliterate your fuel economy much more than having your aircon on, due to #1. (and #1 isn't totally true. As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases by the factor of a square of the speed increase, and power required increas...
