I've done almost 1000k's. First tank she got 8km/L but she's getting 10 km/L now. It's about 380km per tank

Starting to really appreciate all that torque I gained I think if the throttles are balanced and the lower revs get tuned for road use the consumption will improve too. But I can't say for sure _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

I heard you were sick last week, hope you are better. How is the smoking now? Have you measured how much oil vs kilometers? Make us a graph  I know you have the time.

Nah nothing really. Been recovering from January. But the car is going well. Fuel economy is another thing these days  _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600

Tiny update: I've got a cubby hole again Moved the Dicktator and mounted the cubby hole where it's supposed to be, not in the boot. And this morning I put a bottle of radiator flush in the coolant system. This weekend I will drain the system and fill with anti-freeze and water like it should be. I'm in search of an M12x1.5 tap. I want to mount the second temp sensor in my spare thermostat housing so that I can have a heat gauge again. Anybody know somebody that could do it for me or know where I can find one? _________________ Daily Lady: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 - Hannah Project: 2005 Corsa C 1.4i Club - Charlotte "Just a 1400 with a loud exhaust and a cone filter" Build/Banter thread : viewtopic.php?f=30&t=26607Ex Daily Lady: 2014 KTM Duke 390 - Lady Katlin (RIP) Ex Adrenaline Rush: 1997 Suzuki GSX-R 750 SRAD Ex Daily: 1992 VW Fox 1600
