Just remember you asking stuey and someone else.

Should not have mentioned the other half will have welsh in here in a minute asking for pictures.

Mines an RD4 N1 01 So guessing first revision.

there actual figures published are 28mpg motorway on the stang. But thats american gallons which equates to around 33mpg UK. Now since the stang can be tuned by anyone its just a case of picking up a £200 tuner and plugging it into the diagnostic port. add some small mods, pulleys, induction kit, remap gain around 30-40bhp and similar gains of torque and according to every stang forum i have looked at with every person who has done those mods MPG went up by 3 -5. putting it around 36-38mpg. And able to get around 30mpg around town. Mainly due to engine operating in similar areas around town and on motorway due to gearing. But suppose its where you drive taking it through city centre manchester in rush hour i would expect it to be in the teens. But around bury where i live which is quite i have sat and done 6 miles before through the centre of the town only braking for lights twice and keeping constant 30mph and had the C4 getting in the 50mpg area. Either way i dont think teens would be bad considering until today my C4 was getting a whopping 23mpg after lots of motorway today though its above the 29.3mpg average its been getting over the last few thousand miles. But it is impossible to get more out of it than that. Which i always thought was odd but ham said when he had his xsara with the same engine he got similar MPG so im happy with that now.

Yeah but the 1.9TDI's are easy to get a fair bit of power from. 190bhp can be had fairly easily.

Difference is the low end torque around town you barely need to take them above 1500rpm. And those are figures according to someone i know who owns a C5 5.7 corvette. The mustang figures during break in can be absolutely awful 18mpg on the motorway possibly single figures around town etc but after a few thousand miles it'll do 30+mpg. Spoken to one guy who has put a supercharger on his and says his mpg went up as a result 29mpg around town since and he has 460+rwhp. Its cause of the amount of torque. Bigger engines can get better consumption than smaller turbo'd units due to not needing to rev as much. A 700bhp corvette can still get similar MPG as it does stock cant say the same about a 300bhp increase on an evo or porsche etc. When you look at American figures and see the MPG they get there remember there gallon is smaller than ours so you need to increase that by 18% or so. Either way before the cars we have to find another house. Due to my mum being in a wheelchair now were looking to find a suitable bungalow as its hard work in our house for her to get around. Which happens to be the main reason i moved home as well. My god do i miss my flat <_<

OH SNAP! Sorry just thought that last comment from bill was funny <_<

Unfortunately the entire range is know for the steering thing. Audi's have a reputation as being amazingly capable cars but ultimately dull to drive.

The vette will be my mums mustang will be mine. And there actually surprisingly good on fuel. The 5.7 V8 corvette old shape will still get around 37mpg on the motorway and around 29 around town mustang gets similar figures which after a little playing about can be increased when its mapped for british fuel. The best thing is though the price of the cars. My mums going out in a month to test drive some vettes she is gonna be getting either a 1 or 2 yr old one save the huge hit on depreciation and have it run in etc. But should be able to pick up a mint example for around £20k. Not many cars with similar abilities you can get for that. And they will be going to pod the cars. Although i have a funny feeling i will want to borrow the vette more for that until i can afford to put some money into my engine. Looking at a new job though working with my cousin and if i get that wage will be fairly good. Starting at £23k and if i do extra training in the first few months can jump up to just short of £30k. And they will pay for me to finish uni....result! Obviously wanting job very much now lol.

Gimme a few months will be saying the same when theres 2 petrol V8 cars on the drive. A corvette and a Mustang.

Been busy. Will sort it later just got the dog home though so having to sort her out first and make sure shes ok and not trying to get up stair cases etc just yet.

Im still young im enjoying my driving like I stole it days lol.

But diesel services are more often resulting in that saving being null. You may save £140 on tax but it costs you an extra £300 for your 2 services every 20k+ miles while its only 1 for us petrol owners. Diesel being more expensive than petrol too etc. Its false economy unless your doing loads and loads of miles say 20-30K+ a year.

It did work yes. Not all the lights only a few of them do it but its worth a try.

www.C4owners.co.uk A lot of us use both forums this one for chatting that one mainly for other bits and pieces sign up for the £5 membership when its all sorted and it should pay for itself when the discounts are sorted out. Then just a case of getting www.angeltuning.co.uk to sort it for you.

Swap the red and yellow cables around.

theres a few traffic lights with light sensors on them as well which you can flash as you approach and the lights change to green. Saw a police car do this the other day on the way home at 4am so i had to try it out...

80 sodding quid!!!

Your ecu contains a map which controls air and fuel etc by changing it you can increase power give smoother power delivery get rid of engine flatspots gain torque and improve mpg. Theres quite a few manufacturers of cars now wising up to this and starting to offer them on the options list for cars. There damn near undetectable as well without specilist equipment to check. Power increases can be pretty good. the 1.6 16v petrol will gain around 12bhp and around 15ft lb´s. the 1.6 HDI will gain over 30bhp and good gains in torque too. And the 2.0 HDI can hit 180bhp with the remap making them damn quick. The power band is usually moved further up the rev range but mid range torque is increased.

The only thing I would like is some subtle skirts.

Im gonna email alpine again and get on to them see if anyone can tell me anything as there taking there time with bringing a lead out.

Was funny the other day when i was getting ready to leave for benidorm looking for my passport im like i put it in a safe place. Looked into box room to be greeted with 20+ boxes that are all classed as in a safe place. I eventually found it lol.

Really is just luck of the draw it seems. Wierd thing is the JBL upgrade is the same headunit so there must be a setting on it that can be turned on or off.

Think its a dealer install parts are 50 alone...and I wish this keyboard had a bloody pound button! Think the black section has a bit to cut out ojn the lower models and the pipe is just a case of trimming and fitting on the backbox.

I only do around 10k a year so diesel is false economy for me in that respect but i like the sound of a petrol engine approaching that 6000rpm+ mark. See i want something with more torque hence im just getting something with a huge petrol engine best of both worlds :unsure: Plus fuel economy does not bother me that much with only doing 10k or so miles a year.
