Hi everybody

My name is Tim.
I aim from Belgium, I live near Antwerp.
Working in a factory in a 5 shift system.
And riding a nice car.

Its a Ssangyong Kyron 2.0 XDI

Ive got a few questions and I aim willing to learn and help other people.

So where do i start a topic to let people know the improvements and al my work that i do on my car?

Thanks

Ok,
More of my car.
Its a 2L turbo diesel with a VGA turbo, 4 cilinder in line, commonrail.
Rear wheel drive only.
Factory output is 141hp and 318Nm.
I already did a tune on that.
Now output is 174hp and 381Nm.

Normal fual use of the car:
6,5l/100km on highway
7,7l/100km combined
10l/100km in city

I recently bought a scangauge eco.

My best fuel use is 6,2l/100km on a full tank (around 70l)
Normally i average between 6,4 and 6,7l/100km.

I already lowerd highway speed from 120km/h to 90km/h.
And changed my driving style.
Before i could only drive 750 to 800km for a full tank (70l)
Now, i drive 1100 to 1150km with one full tank.
Thats an inprovement of 45%
Only with changing my driving style.
