Had a few of the ts cars rolling roaded at reddot saturday
Antmashed run 206bhp from standard astra gsi with vxr turbo and 1.9 airbox and power pipe - bang on power
Audi A3 quattro 1.8t run 211bhp, had remap and airfilter i think
Astra VXR, standard but with remus 256bhp
Mine - 256bhp 317lbft, mods - Vectra C intake pipes, panel filter, precat pipe, catback 2.5" VXR turbo,
Remap - holds 14psi of boost. need to wind down my actuator as still set for vxr
chris c's zafia gsi run - 259bhp 327lbft - to much over boost, turns out its got a vxr actuator (possible vxr turbo) and needs to be set up, causing ecu to cut boost giving a dip in the graph, but most power of the day!
mods - vectra c intake, precat, miltek catback, fmic. My stage one high boost remap - holds 12psi of boost
shows the fmic will make a massive differnce on mine, as chris is running 2 psi less and running more power
will most a graph later

Since I had mine mapped, i've gone from an average of 34 to 28mpg 
I blame the exhaust and trying to get it to pop all the time now

its easy to fraud the mpg. reset it then drive lightly then coast for a bit in gear then take a picture. not really impressive at all.

If you switch the trip computer to instant consumption when you lift off the gas you get 999.9 mpg

my average in my vectra v6 over last 2 months and about 1k miles is 30.9 although i only know that as i was watching it drop as i had corsa on trailer this morning. Infact watching miles per gallon is quite sad. Wtf are of even on about? Mash throttle down. Sod economy.

I'm obsessive about it in the Megane, the less fuel I use getting to work and back the more money I can spend on pump fuel into the V8 to waste on a weekend!

You queers obsessing about fuel consuption ought to get a moped and then bask in the fact you get 70mpg+ and never get delayed.

Is 10mpg really worth getting wet, looking a twat and not being able to go over 40mph? I'd get killed on the A404M lol!
I've got a motorbike and I dont even like riding that to work..

if i lived in an urban area and needed to travel to the other side urban area to get to work i would have no drama doing it easier and cheaper on a moped. Have a car for weekends and fun. I live out of town though and its a motor way journey to work so a car it is.
