When the engine starts to sip air in uphills then you know you will get about 30 km when driving full push and glide mode at 80 km/h before fuel runs out. My advice then you should go to the nearest gas station to fill up .

Vekke, your car, it looks so... so... plain!?! What happened to the wheels skirts and the fiberglass bumper?



Also, are those wheel covers on the inside of the wheels? Is that instead of, or together with, external wheel covers?

Are the clear rear wheel covers an experiment for your internet venture ? I have air-blade alloys too (17s) and I may be interested in trying those.

Except for that I assume the extreme stuff came off for the dreaded 'Inspection' ?

Double PS. I note in the latest pic your grill is completely blocked, upper and lower I think from the pic. What effect has that had on temps, intake and others ?

I fitted a new block (from Superskoda - hey I got money for my Birthday, I suspect I may become a customer of yours - zero ability make stuff myself ) and I noted the intake temps going up. I'm considering a lower grill block on my Fabia too.

Info here.

Yes I had inspect the car thats why I had to take all those mods in off. I will put at least the undertray back on and maybe those mirrors. Other mods no because they are nor so big extras when you try to sell the car to normal people. Hopes are to get my own lupo 3L within the next two months.

Clear capsels is a test for those brackets and see how easily they get scrapes. That is why I put those black soft pieces there. Tomorrow I will try those which will come behind the capsel with two sided tape etc. Lets see at what speed they will go off .
