    Was that standard?

    I was able to get 41mpg out mine at 70 when it was mapped
     
  2. I thought the new R S'S would have better mpg than my 225.

    On a long journey, cruising around 65 I got 44mpg.
     
  3. yep standard. i do think a remap increased fuel eco tho.

    The actual knob is also gonna be covered in alcantara like the gear gaiter
     
  8. Ooo I like that.
     
  9. Fixed my passenger side window for what must be the tenth time. :mad:

    Wasn't cheap though Chris
    £35 but considering you can't buy just the insert
    Was worth the dollar
    I'm considering the circular surround too but not sure if that might be too much

    I've never seen above 30mpg...
     
  13. 44mpg at 55mph on the motorway in my old unmapped 225. We were coming home from Scotland, the petrol light came on on the M6 but for some reason I was determined to get home without stopping. I did the 100 miles home with the petrol light on the whole time and still had enough left to get to a petrol station!
     
  14. A quick visit to WrapKings to get my sun strip fitted, and on the way back I filled up on the finest (V-Power) :smile:

  15. My good friend works at wrap kings :-) did you see his civic?
     

  16. Looks good tempted to get a sun strip on mine, also why don't you put vpower in all the time?!
     
  17. It was only £15 :smile:

    I do mate. That's all I put in now, since the injector change. :smile:
     
  18. I might get one fitted tomorrow see if I like it. I'm there doing some detailing.
     
  19. Trip down to diamond motors to sort out my airbag and tyre pressure sensors.
     
  20. had 2 new front tyres fitted.
    also vinyl wrapped my seat subframe and put on Renault F1 build number sticker to finish it off.
     
  21. Fair enough mate. On what car do you know?! Might get a full wrap done soon. £1100 due to my car having the pan roof. :smile:
     
  22. new clutch, dmf, fmic and stage 1 :smiley:
     
  23. Not mine but removed quite bad degridation in the carbon bonnet and spoiler on the wrap kings civic and applied G1 glass sealant, General all round tidy up of its plastics too.

    Noooooo
     
  26. Afraid so Ed, I almost cried. I'm on holiday until it arrives so that's the saving grace.
     
  27. Found out my car is low on compression on cylinder 4 :mad:
     
  28. What made you check that ? Any signs / symptoms ?
     
  29. just was testing it after I'd done a few miles. Check everything was ok but it isn't. It's going to a tuners today to be leak down tested and I'll go from there.
     
  30. Ordered federal-RSR's, Rear disc and pads, and Carbotech XP10s.
    Hopefully they'll be here in time for the weekend

    Quick question on brake fluid, Srf or rbf?
     
  31. Parcel turned up today, new cooler! Happy days. 737c2549aec6c968e00a7e9ef835aea8.jpg 26f1429dba997d8583a42a70e56ba3c8.jpg
     
  32. Any joy with the compression mate?
    Passing valve?
     
  33. Fitted a drive recording camera.
     
  34. Garage is doing all the checks today so I should have an answer later. They are replacing the crank seal too as that's leaking
     
  35. Hope it's something and nothing mate, especially after all your work.
     
  36. Just arrived at rstuning.
