Marco, it was people who missold turbo which made me write up this thread.

I was hoping it could be added to the 20VT tuning guide, to update it.

Glad to hear you're staying. Were you not around when I did my clutch I would probably still be doing it. Thanks to the 0845-Marco helpline, I was able to get telephone trouble shooting 24/7!

Well, this is an update from one VERY HAPPY Marco!!

It may have cost me around £50ish in fuel but FML the car has alot more life!!

I've not really given it full abuse as I didn't know the roads round bath ect, buy saying that, Ianaged 384miles on my last tank, that was Bedford to Bristol, bath, Chippenham, mapping, a spruces drive from
Flea, more spitfires driving from me and back to Bedford (plus a few extra miles) on a tank so I should see around 400 miles with normal driving!
So mpg has improved massively!!!

Now back to the car...

Well.. Its wet (giggady) on the floor so grip is not on the list really... But... 1st gear.. Spins... Into 2nd... Spins then with light throtle control it gets grip... Then it goes in this order....

Flea is the nuts..
Flea made this car shit loads better
BRAKE
Turn in, understear...POWER..
Dual carriage way "sticking to the speed limit" wink
B roads...
Different story...
The car is just lively, fun, enjoyable, not uncontrollable but just completely Fu**ing FUN to drive!!

To me, it does not feel like its got 238bhp...(feels like a lot more) But I just don't care!! It feels great!!

Thank you again Flea!!

I'm sorry If this thread has sounded like I'm not happy mate, that really is not the case at all!!

smile
