  1. if you actually getting 25 mpg you should easily get 400 miles per tank.

    if you getting 250 from full to light on your getting like 15-17 mpg

     

    i am sure there are alot of differences between car to car... and again... i am only posting what my car is saying... not what i have calculated and what not... that can come in later once i get all the bugs fixed.

  2. just wanted to share my swap input...

     

    i have 2 tanks through the new setup and kinda have love hate...

     

    i have recipe b with 06 seutp and r180, still working out the bugs, i have alot of chatter in my drivetrain. dccd not installed yet. got the dccd manual.

     

    i am crusing at 70mph and hovering around 2800-2900rpm

     

    the stock 6mt shifter is like 1 mile long throw. so i put in a new shifter. makes my driving experience alot better.

     

    i do notice i have to shift in traffic alot more... ALOT...

     

    engagement point is really at the top of the pedal throw. exedy stage 1 with LWSMFW, somethign that is very weird for me. need to find some solutions.

     

    i am also adding pictures of my gas mileage. i commute with my car daily... actually driving about 250 a week average? heavy traffic usually and alot of local driving.

     

    yes i have 210k miles on my car...

     

    my mpg average bumped up from 18.5mpg to 25+... these numbers are off my car meter. trip A i use for the current gas tank, went 250+ before light came on and filled up. usually clicks on at 200-220 miles. trip B is how long i went since last oil change. i have not changed my driving habits...

     

    please keep in mind the trip b mileage has been climbing since my last 2 tanks! usually around 18-19mpg.

     

    the mileage gain makes it worth the swap, i hate to say, driving experience might need some getting used to. but over all okay. i think once i can adjust the engagement point more to the center... even alittle... it is all about just getting used to the extra shifting.

  3. wow, i got hit by the wire bug too... 3 wires cut, 2 wires showing bare... looks like the wire insulation can't take the bending?

     

    my tail light was out and couldn't find the problem. until i popped the boot loose. my wires got sliced at the chassis side boot. not sure if you guys had the same issues. i just popped the boot off the bottom and slid it up. also, make sure to be aware, the bottom side boot has a leg that is wrapped into the loom. so when you pull the boot it pulls the loom. it stretches good, but i would assume try to not cut it on accident.
