ride upgrade or not????

[Navin]

Fully agree, I daily my STi aswell. Upgraded from a 94 civic sir to a 97 v4 sti. It's been a perfect daily, way better on gas than I expected too. Currently getting approximately 160-175 kms from $40 of 98. Has one of those fuelstar units in it so I guess that helps with the economy.

Was installed in the car when I got it so can't complain. Previous owner paid $500 for it, hope its doing something

How do you find your mileage?

[Navin]

It's excellent, I expected a much higher fuel bill. Filled up $40 from the fuel light, got 170kms before it came on again. Around 150k's was city driving, 20 on the motorway. Previous owner said he noticed a decent power increase too but i didn't drive the car before he put it in so can't comment on that.

Sounds like something to be happy with

going from a 1993 skyline to my 2000 foz was an amazing step... the increase in comfort was insane...

then i noticed the body roll. moding began, now its a fairly rough ride, but MILES better than the skyline ever was

[Kiwi_Fozze]

[WRXONP]

upgraded from 97 wrx to a 90 skyline....upgrade lol

[xsvpwr]

I went from a 96 BG5 Legacy with a rooted o2 sensor to an 01 Impreza STI and loving it, $50 gas gets us exactly 200km which is a mixture of around town and motorway driving including some decent boosting. As per someone previous comment the only downside is being worried about little scratches etc from people who don't know how to park.

[subiesti]

istarted with gravel express like a wrx wagon which was alright first car beter the my brothers 99 b4. 8.5 km/l on hills, and a 99holden rodoe 2.8td 4wd for farm work but that was guttless and thirsty so got rid of it for a navara stx 2.5 td which goes wicked for desiel and got a 2005 wrx sti 2.5l with the fuelstar fitted goes hard does about 9km/l on hilly middlemarch so about 11 to 12km/l to chrischurch from dunedin and im heavy footed aswell 8)

[94scooby]

wow 500 bucks is a wack in your wallet, good job it was fitted. altho i wonder if it works. i get prity good mileage out of my 94 wrx considering i drive like i stole it most of the time hehe. but for the performance i cant complain. i have had a few cars and i can say 4 me Subaru hit the nail on the head with the wrx.

[G-unit]

i went from a 94 rs to a 91 rs, so much better, then went from that to a 2000 sti then a 99 sti, loved the rs but prefer the 99 sti

[newsuba]

Fuelstar ?

Car crime right there.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[Navin]

Yeah I never really believed in these things but like I said, was already installed in the car when I got it, car is getting good mileage. Got nothing to complain about

[94scooby]

me and my wife both have 94 wrx shes got a wagon, it goes ok but nothin like my sedan, i had a 94 wrx wagon a few years ago but that had no torque but heaps of top end power, im thinkin of going for a newer model wrx 4 the misses.

[johnny5]

Come back to south Auckland there's hundreds of em infect they outnumber all of us in our car club probably half the club have skylines nothing wrong with that or owning any car we drive what we all drive it's how you drive that makes a difference
