well, i don't know if anyone takes any stock from a driving sim. ;) I don't.

5. Drafting - yep some of the hyper mileage guys tuck in behind semis and tag along for the ride. I'm not sure I recommend following others too closely - besides you might get a ticket. What I do is less dangerous: Do the bulk of the accceleration when in the "draft" of a vehicle - e.g. b...

Re: How to get good gas mileage.
Apparently keeping a turbo'd car out of boost is good for 50% better gas mileage. Took a trip up to my parents house this weekend. Utilizing driving techniques that keep the ecu in closed loop mode (ie not the 10:1 AFR open loop mode) yeilded an average of 31.5mpg in my Evo. I normally get 20mpg ave...

Re: Increasing MPG with HHO ?
If you were making HHO from weight-less solar panels it could be considered a benefit. the electricity generated by the alternator is not free.
also carrying the weight of the water would reduce fuel economy.

that image can't be added as a smiley though. I was thinking more like this
the .gif can then be downloaded/uploaded to the server and the correct tag can be added with almost no brain power from the admins if they feel like doing it.- Sun Jun 01, 2008 7:09 pm

Re: Went to my first event and it was great
A trick you can use to overcome turbo-lag is to learn to left-foot brake. That allows you to get back on the gas and start spooling up the turbo before you release the brakes. On my 1.8t VW (auto!) you can only overlap for about a second before the ECU chops the throttle, but combined with braking ...

Re: Cracquisition
btw, I still have the brake pressure sensor. it reads up to like 100bar or something stupid like that. i might be interested in selling it. Is 100bar enough? I'd think you'd want closer to 250 (depending on where you mount the sensors). Marshall, you have something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/...
