[quote][i]Originally posted by xa0s[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] How is the fuel consumption currently? I can't imagine it being fantastic so a change to petrol if it opens up further power options may be worth looking at. Big job though, lots of which doesn't actually relate to going faster as such, particularly when you could have that engine in a similar car for a lot less money, ie. if you got an S3 for example then you would have a lot more money to tune that rather than converting the Fabia and only being at the same point as the Audi but having already done a major job on it. I know my personal opinion doesn't matter that much but I had just as much fun shaving tenths off my lap times as I've ever done throwing money at any car. If it's just boredom you're looking to cure then you're just moving the goalposts. And also :lol: at the smoke in that pic. [/quote] I enjoy shaving tenths too, just because I want more power doesn't mean I'm a straight line warrior. Far from it! I know what you mean but most people look at it being just a Fabia vRS, easily replaced and what not but I've done sooo many little changes and touches that to get another car and re-do everything would take another year. Since buying the car I've constantly tweaked it and customized it to how I want it to be with literally no gap so it's a lot of work. For example, I just spent £150 changing the green interior lighting to blue, a further £150 changing the rear bulbs to LED bulbs with resistors and anti-warning light adaptor things. It sounds like nothing but that's one of over a hundred little changes I've done. I basically just don't wanna change cars at the moment. I tend to average about 350 miles to £70 of fuel. It's only used for fun so it's driven hard pretty much everywhere. My mate was with me tonight in his E46 M3 and he used about £40 of fuel and I used £15-20 which doesn't sound that drastic but I worked out earlier that I have spent in the region of £4,000 on fuel this year just for fun so if that was multiplied by 2 then you're starting to talk a serious increase.
