I have put in 41L more than once, first time when I ran out, and again when on fumes.

Too much time Tut, I just fill until I hear the click.

[neil]

I got 43 litres into my s2s a couple of times

[tut]

Every re-fuel on Quicken since I got N1 woody, but then I have more time than you.

It also shows where in the UK/World I have been to and the dates, so it is also a diary.

N1 £5,709.55 1999 - 2007

N3 £10,980.66 2007 - 2013

I had recorded every fill on the 'Road Trip' app for the Europa (& the rest of the recent fleet) only to accidentally clear the lot about a month ago - Gutted!!! (Sad I know)

£17k in 14 years seems pretty reasonable tut. Done many miles though?

It backs up automagically to Dropbox.

Hi Tut,

V5 has arrived back this morning post the plate change. Just waiting for the amended MOT and Tax Disc.

See you next week

Great Keith

Fund transfer has not gone through yet, but it will be there before Thursday and will EFT it across.

Any chance that you can take some pics of the interior, especially the seats, and also of the engine bay and boot?

Cheers

ps:- do you know what settings you have got the Nitron clicks set at?

[Loafing Wafu]

Nitrons are set pretty much to full soft on road as they are quite stiff spring rates. On track I normally set them to about 8 and 10.

[tut]

Just the job Keith. Thanks very much. Take a pic of your hardtop and put it into our Classifieds.

Should be on KH on the 16th for her first track day.

ps:- N3's springs are 550 and 750 as recommended by Randy, but I think one stage to high.

I'm ever so slightly jealous of your luggage space.....wish we had some
Where's the intercooler mounted?

[woody]

It's charge cooled so an extra rad the front, extra pipes and a great exchange on the intake.

[robin]

Thanks guys, will pass the thoughts on.

Is the pedal box the same in S2's as in S1's, would not want a girly version of that? A backward step is the fuel tank, 41L on mine and I believe 36L on the S2.

tut

Actually I believe the fuel tank is the same size on all these cars, but the filler pipe is a bit narrower on the S2, hence you lose some capacity in that area.

The pedal box is better in the sense that the riveted on bracket doesn't break off and the whole accelerator linkage doesn't undo itself and fall into the footwell periodically; but from a point of view of the pedal shape and movement, I am sure it is identical.

Cheers,
Robin
