Hi Guys,
Filled up my first full tank since the Aerocap went on the other day, im a bit dissapointed... It didnt make any difference at all to the mileage
It definatly makes a difference to the aero though as i can coast a lot longer on my test hill (averaging 10kmh faster at one of the markers) and i even used more engine off coasting than any other tank ive ever done, but the mileage only just peaked over average with 7.44mpg.
iI think my gearing is really killing any chance of me getting good gains from technique as no matter how i drive im always in high RPM - low load... The other day i started off in top gear with no throttle at idle for fun and it didnt stall, so top of the list of things to do is still get better gearing.
I got some new goodies today though, new smaller mirrors with wide angle lenses so i can actually see behind me properly and reduce aero drag a lil bit more.
Before vs after:
And the other side:
I also got a new radiator with electric thermo fans so i can get rid of the horrible mechanical fan and gain some more power (that i dont need) and quicker warm up times.
Thanks for looking
