App... Dont use an App.
Do it the propper way of filling up a full tank, resetting the trip compluter and draining it via driving sexilly and then another full tank.

I got 20mpg with constant VTEC pretty much all the way and another of Autobahn driving.
32 normal without trying.

Hey all,

I am off on holiday this week and have a few jobs planned for the S :twisted:

More will be revealed next week ;) But for starters, i needed to see to the trim around the window surrounds.

I followed the guide by @Pushki: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/honda-p ... t5141.html

Before:

Managed to get a few jobs done for the first Scottish meet of the year. So some of my mods were exclusively revealed there :lol: and another few things done since :D

First, a great pic taken by @Merlin at the meet:

Image

Interior:

EP3 steering wheel fitted. Really pleased with the improvement :D

Image

Seats re-vitalised by some Gliptone cleaner and conditioner:

Image

Fixed the gaitor so it wasn't clacking around off the shift extender:

Image

Finished off with a Mugen style shifter with Honda detailing:

Image

Exterior:

Gave the car a nice clay, wax etc and took some pics to show off the exterior work :twisted:

Smaller 12"x6" number plate fitted for less drag/more air to the radiator :lol: ( was 13"x7" )

Image

Shiny :D

Image

Rear OEM lights fitted to replace tatty Lexus style jobbies. Tinted out the white part to retain my black theme 8-) Replaced rear number plate which had rusting screws and just taped in with double sided tape:

Image

And finally, cleaned out my cone filter with a K&N recharger kit and got my Powerflow decat pipe fitted to unleash a bit extra go to go with the show :twisted:

Happy that the noise in every day driving hasn't noticeably changed but sounds superb in VTEC 8-)

Thanks for looking :D
