What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

Oh. Cool thanks for clearing that up for a noob lol 

 

I got it clean enough. I'm over it and cbf anymore....but now I know

Yeah, Gordo has pulled out a bit of old school backyard maintenance gold for that.

Changed back to 98 today :(

 

Normally I get the xcal plugged in, set up up and changing the tune, then start filling, lean in a couple of minutes or so later to finalise setup when it's finished, then keep filling

Instead, today I sat and waited until it finished loading, and noticed something a bit odd

I don't change fuel/tune until range is below 30km, this time was 24

When xcal was finished, range then flashed up as 55km?

Ignition off and back on, still 55km

Interbreasting

Filled up, paid, started it and range only said 374 

 

Most of my driving is short trips plus I give it minimum 3-4 decent pokes on any drive so economy isn't great - e85 I get 300-350km a tank, 98 not hugely better at anywhere between 380-450km

 

Short story, 98 economy is better but not 25-->55km range better

 

 

Explain if you can gurus

(yesterday) 

Major service on the daily and a general look over to get a feel for it. 

 

It's a funny one, major items are in top shape but minor items have been missed (ie cabin filter, bonnet latch grease fuel filter etc etc. 

 

Speaking of which the fuel filter appears to have been with the car since it was born. 

 

The car had a minor stumble (and occasional backfire) at wot between 2500 and 3000. New fuel filter and it's sorted. 

 

(today) 

 

Rewired the aftermarket head unit I fitted the day after I got the car so it feeding the speakers directly and modded the amp trigger and source so the factory amp is also driven off the am hu and I gotta say for a low buck setup(owes me less that 200 installed with an aswc1 remote interface) it performs pretty bloody well. 

 

Downside is I've lost the reverse beepers. Research suggests the park aid module either feeds a signal to the icc or can drive it's own speaker so I'll find out where it lives and wire a seperate 4" speaker in for reverse parking.
