My Citroën C3 1.4 HDi DV4TD (Common Rail Turbo Diesel) thread

Hi guys.

After reading a lot of time Ecomodder, finally i start with my ecomodds.
The first thing that i did was adjusting the nut behind the wheel and all i can say is WOOOOOOW. I never think that i can obtain a -20% fuel consumption only from that

So after buying a bluetooth OBD and installing torque app was ready for the modds!

This is the screen that im running at the moment on torque:


After some time of learning my car beaheavour I was ready.

1) Tire pressure to 42 PSI. Not the max but what i feel comfortable.
2) Down grill block 75%. From behind with a plywood painted black
3) Upper grill block 100%. Ghetto version on the cheap . I failed in the pr0 version make. -> This gives me -5% engine LOAD at 90 km/h. Cant believe it!



Cheers!
Sorry my english


Some pics from the car and mods.


The first mod:
The down grill block. So perfect that you must be magician to see it!



Second mod: Upper grill block
The pr0 version that failed by cracks on the bondo! Now on the trash.























Finally the upper grill block in ghetto version:
