Yes, I should add that my car had a major (the 72k) service done recently, and its cambelt.. so that might have helped with the increased MPG? I mean, its had new plugs and stuff. I'm going to change the oil next week again though :shock: purely on the basis that its got 10W40 in it and the HLA's so...

mmm when it comes to performance, well its all hidden in the bay.. an outlandish, mad engine is fine lol, I just prefer subtle looks.. keep it stealthy.. no one will expect it to suddenly shoot off nice and fast! 8) I think the MX-3 has a VERY resonsive throttle though, hardly have to push on the Go...

mmmmm, mine has problems closing but always does after a few tries.. and it says in the manual, never to slam them really hard!!
