GAH!

I've just found out what MPG my El Odio (a 63' Hornet) has been doing. It's the grand mark of 24mph.

24MPG!

After tweaking, twiddling, adjusting it's still at a crappy mark. So now I've got to pay some little scrot to set my car up for me to try and get a proper MPG out of it.

More money down the plughole.

And the RR place is 60 miles away. Joy, the cost of getting there is going to be the same as cost of the tuning.

Come on Adam.... you're gonna have to pay for something one day. Glad you've finally decided to get it down the RR... you scrooge

good luck

ooh thats not ideal is it. is it running nicely enough though? it will get better with a rr, but are you definate you dont have a vacuum leak or something?

[Big_Adam]

Far as I know nothing leaks.

Although did find out when I 1st set the car (no timing light) I managed to give it 30 degrees more timing that it needed. Gave a good high idel mind.

the money you spend on the RR will be worth it, mine ran a hell of a lot better once it had been done.

Well, I plan (or hope) to get it done AFTER I fit my Rc40. Not going there to pay for a tune up when I plan to switch the exhaust out soon anyway.

Just means I need to beat the C**p out of my old RC40 to make it the proper shape again.
