Thanks Darin!
on our fill up we got 360 kms on 23L so with a 8% error that works out to 5.9L/100km..or 39 US MPG or 47 IMP MPG. But part of that was with winter and the other with warn all-seasons that were 165's. She'll be filling up again tommorrow for a more accurate reading, I'll be sure to post it.
I'll be calling around various scrap yards this week to locate a good tranny out of a 90-95.5 1.3L swift..looks like we'll be visiting family on the weekend of the 15th so I'll be able to pick one up anywhere between here and there. That should increase my odds! She averages 110-115 kph on the highway, thats why the lower fuel sipping final gear is so desirable right now! (She doesn't care about having to downshift on hills)
I'm also waiting to hear back from Mike about an econo cam.
I won't have quite as much invested into this Firefly XFi'd as "Coyote X" does, but hopefully similar results! (great build post btw)
