There is quite alot of city driving in that, peak hour traffic included, not just highway driving. Average of around 10l/100km on the highway.

I just got mine cammed yesterday and noticed i am using a little more fuel but not a huge amount more.

What engine mods have you done with yours Matt?

Its been a long time since my last post, not much has happened though. I changed the strut tops and have nothing but trouble ever since. Just 3 days after installing them i had odd noises coming from the front end, eventually found the NEW bearings had failed and were replaced, it was all back to normal, for another 2 days and straight back to making the same noise, so obliviously something is killing the bearings but f**k knows what. :censored::censored::censored:

Apart from that its had a polish and the cleaned the carpet..

What brand of strut bearing have you used?

I've been looking at new wheels for my SS, out of curiosity what wheels do you have on your SS?
