I've used nearly half a tank of fuel in only about 100km, I think she might be running a bit rich though....
smells of unburnt petrol a bit, even when up to temp.

welcome to owning a g60 mate they are absolute pi55heads when it comes to drinking petrol  :evil:

I have probably done less than 400 miles in it since i bought it(took it for a quick blast today  :evil: :grin: :grin:) , so fuel economy has not been top of my priorities!!,

but it drinks more than my vr6 :rolleyes:  which is not exactly frugal,

Just had a phone call form the VW Expert, she needs a little under arch seam welding, where someone has been a bit hasty cutting away the arches, and one rear shock is leaking. Everything else good..

So, I am thinking Koni adjustable Dampers and Eibach Springs...
Good ride / comfort

or

Koni damping and ride height adjustable coilovers.
slammed !

What do peeps reckon?

EDIT: It will be a daily more or less, with some track use. Oh and I'll be doing ARBs at the same time too.

depends how many miles you do in it. my view is, there's no point having coilies if you're going to poof about putting them on their softest setting, go as low and hard as you can.. thats what they're made for :grin:

if you have to drive it every day then surely comfort is more important than balls out handling performance.. it'll still handly well on shocks/springs.. its a mk2 afterall !

ps. i dont even keep track of my mpg.. im sure it'd be too frightening... the joys of a 65mm pulley and wild cam.
