Its pretty bad IMO, I know standard they are only 40 but what can i do to perhaps increase MPG.
Small things i have done are have good tyres on wheels and filled with nitrogen.

All useful suggestions but they will make minimal difference. You're driving a 2litre n/a engine - 40mpg is a book figure and to get anywhere near that, you're doing very well already. You say its pretty bad, but you knew what the car would do before roughly before you bought the car. You can't all of a sudden make it fuel efficient, the engine isn't designed for that.

#13: Re: Iain GTi Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 2:16 pm ---- All that car needs is the SP kit and lowering 30mm.

#16: Re: Iain GTi Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 11:55 am ---- you'll love the sound of the typhoon mate, had it on my moonstone matched up with a janspeed system and it sounded the nuts

Dont want it to be too loud lol. However i chose to go down the powerflow route and not janspeed, mainly because i Bought one of them. Looks exactly the same as janspeed. but will it sound it? Have to wait and see.
#19: Re: Iain GTi Author: ARRAN, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:56 am ---- wish i could get that mpg out of my 1.4 8v, at the moment i'm struggling to get 25.. oops. (saying that, my right foots a tad heavy, i do too many short journeys, i have a 421 decat+straight through system, and i'm due a service )
#20: Re: Iain GTi Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 9:15 am ---- Janspeed exhaust ordered, 180 Rear Bumper on

#22: Re: Iain GTi Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 8:34 am ---- Looks good! Good looking car.
#24: Re: Iain GTi Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:02 am ---- I know you guys like to keep standard lights. But on that colour car I would want black fog 3rd brake light repeaters led rear and masked fronts??
#25: Re: Iain GTi Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 5:10 am ---- Glad to see you went down the 180 rear bumper and janspeed system mate
needs lowering if not already lowered plus I think you should paint the wheels white and get the clear/red rear lights similar to what I have on my 180 but had on my old moonstone
#26: Re: Iain GTi Author: 206gti_chris, Location: SussexPosted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 9:40 am ---- Maybe lower it next, eibach sportline springs and have rear to match? other than that i wouldnt change anything else
