So,e great stats there

I'm similar to you as in I like to compare performance stats.

10.66 is an awesome time to 100mph.

It seems we are both a little nerdy

Well I polished the old girl today the old fashioned way, with a tub of sh!tty old turtlewax and a couple of old tee shirts  I'm pretty pleased with the results, despite it taking over 3 hours. And I apologise for the quality of the photos, such is the utter sh!tness of my 4 year old phone!

And some of my mates Land Rover. Believe it or not it is only used to launch his boat....absolutely nothing else!

Well once the ZZ3's are finished, I was going to put some Ultrac Sessanta's on. Has anyone else got any tips, hints on a decent set of tyres?

I'm not such a fan of Pirellis, I've driven Nero's and Rosso's both on Golfs and they were sh!t by comparison, also driven Primacy HP's on a 335d BMW and they were great, butf**king expensive.

Would give Dunlop and Continental's a go or any other sensible suggestions

Check this thread of utter drivel out....

If I fitted a HPFP and WMI kit to my ko3 it would easily hit 315-325bhp and 300lbft....some people are thingys

I can definitely recommend Continental sport contact 3's and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's.

Great tyres that lasted very well on the GTi.

Just completed a rather interesting albeit somewhat surprising exercise.

I have recently been to visit friends and the journey is 330 miles door to door.

On the way 'to' I filled up from empty with BP Ultimate (£1.48ltr) and averaged 32.1 mpg, the rangefinder indicated I had 35 miles still left in the tank once I had reached my destination.

After a few short runs here and there I ran the tank empty and filled up with V-Power (£1.45ltr) ready for my return journey home.

I completed the exact same route and averaged 34.6 mpg and when I returned home the range finder indicated I had 65 miles still left in the tank.

So not only did I use around a gallon less fuel. A saving of just over £6. It also cost me about £1.50 less to fill up. All in all £7.50 better off per tank of fuel and better juice for my engine. I figured if I did on average 20,000 miles a year , I would save between £375 to £400 using V-Power only.

keep usin v-power an you might see more mpg than you just did

I pretty much always use V-Power, but primarily for power gains. I had little to f**k all understanding of its longevity effect. To be honest though I doubt I'll see much more than 34mpg from a tuned block, especially as I usually stick to 80mph on the motorways.
