All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Got the new Boge front struts and new strut top bearings fitted today, damping was almost non existent on the nearside strut and old top bearings both sides were pitted and rough. Overhauled the front calipers while I was at it, bottom slider pins were all but dry of grease, all sorted now. Next stop, full geo set up I guess.

#7782
finished the first phase for clit.. inlet manifold and runners changed.. custom manifold  difference 17 hp 12 nm ..  later added f4r (2 litre) throttle (5 hp)

and despite the theories the low down torque didnt decrease a bit and max torque come at 2900 rpm instead of 4k ???

Tanked the 2.2 up on LPG, done the mpg figures, slap in face moment how damn cheap my 2.2 is to run.

24mpg on gas, at 0.69p litre. ~12.5p a mile running cost. I never get less than 24 over a tank, unless 100% city work.

To get same cost per mile from a diesel @ £1.34 ltr, I would need to average 47mpg. So to average 47 over a tank from diesel would be tough, as big chunk of my commute is stop start.

Add in bloody cheap servicing, even if I fix aircon (condensor+compressor), replace the clutch and HG, it's still cheap to run  ;D
