Dom's Mk4 Story So Far - it's all over!

[Wayne]

Yeah my surrounds that is just plain black and you cant do anything with it as in change it I think its standard in Gt tdis as my dads isthe same but he has just stuck a Anni set on his.I think with mine as its just a standard car it makes me feel ive got shed loads to do but really compared to what ive done to my mk3 its not that much really.Ive started buying small bits mainly tatty trim bits as I cant stand scabby trim in a car  I think yours looks a great base and stick with it and it will come good soon enough.Whats it like now on fuel after the remap as a few people ive spoken to reakon the 20vt after a remap drinks?

Around town I'm seeing around 25mpg, on a mixed run around 30mpg and on a good a-road run around 35mpg - that's driving pretty sensibly though. If I put my foot down those figures drop pretty rapidly....it's worth it though

Thats not bad for the power tbh

Nope, not bad at all! Strangely those figures are slightly less when running super unleaded

No not bad at all but thats what the chap said the problem is you just want to drive fast all the time  I seen of a 1.8 focus today which pleased me in my Derv

Yup, the temptation is always there! I've not really had anyone wanting to 'race' other than a new shape Civic Type-R which stood no chance

I have found my mpg drops when running on super unleaded, not sure why

[F17BAD]

I only ever run super in mine, seems to do better on it with my engine

Well votex valance is ruined 

A sheet of metal on the motorway did this:

 

 

Got the guys insurance details who's trailer it came off, but the valance hadn't been declared yet so I'm hoping to get a cash settlement but we'll see.

A van, lorry & 4x4 were also damaged

Gutted!!!!    Things like this happen too often!

Nice work on the interior re-trimming by the way.
