Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yep, tried to link to my car but obviously with my newbie status it's not allowed yet.

Plenty of plans/ideas, will be taking it slowly though due to financial restraints - looking at buying a house in the coming months which ain't cheap and just owning and running a car here ain't cheap either!

My first step will be to establish a base MPG figure through a combination of manual data crunching and the Scangauge once I get it.

From there it'll probably be one mod at a time. The future mods list in my garage entry is roughly the order I will/would probably do things in.

I'd like to see a minimum of +5mpg with a few basic mods and refined driving style and perhaps target 50+mpg (UK) further down the line.

My cars getting old now and isn't that efficient by today's standards, so with a bit of modding I hope to negate the need (and desire!) to own a more efficient car.
