What have you done to your Subaru today ?

[david1972]

I have a decent drive in prospect tomorrow too - the A68 then A69 across to Carlisle  :D

[Gaulson]

Now I've been looking around in my free time admiring turbos, fuel pumps and so on... thinking "If i just save this much I can do that..." while doing this I noticed this:

I have been wanting a Boost Gauge so thought this was pretty good, any ideas?

[stants]

Could probably get it cheaper elsewhere. & by buyimg the gauge and pod individually. I don't have this brand of gauge but plenty others do

[Gaulson]

Had a quick browse on eBay and found said boost gauge and a pod...

 

Boost Gauge - £46

Pod - £33

So yeah it's cheaper to do it via eBay :)

I went with the prosport evo gauges just because I like the start up display :D and read it's more accurate with it being digital, if it is or not I'm not sure. I know a few people who have them and like Stants said I would shop around I think you could price it up cheaper on Fleebay 

[stants]

May as well get yourself one of these http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Tap-Piggy-Back-MINI-Blade-Fuse-Holder-ATM-APM-12v-24v-volt-/180735824927

Save fiddleing with a perm live source :-) just use one in fuse box

[Gaulson]

I didn't realise the Prosport gauge has a start up, just had a look on youtube at them and they are great. It's the little things in life ay ;)

[Gambit]

Yep I have a noobtube video on there of them after I 1st fitted them :) 

[Dogconker]

You've got a boobtube!!

Sorry my mistake[emoji39]

I can turn a blind eye well and open eye to that ;)

Fitted a new knock sensor over weekend ordering new maf today and reinstalled original air filter .

Anybody else use impreza as everyday car? What millage to a tank are people getting ?

[tje]

I drive mine daily. It's a 2.0r sport hawkeye so no turbo. I was getting 280ish out if a tank of regular, but am getting more miles out of higher octane fuel.

[Gaulson]

Not sure if mine is running well then, unless its my roads but I get about 270 to a tank... that's with fuel light just coming on. So might be 20 miles left in it I guess

[Gambit]

I use mine everyday. If I'm honest I just close my eyes when I look at the fuel I couldn't tell you what MPG I get :D 

I did have it on the OBDII reader once and did see I got it to 31.5 MPG driving very slow everywhere. and then I was booting it around private roads   and had it almost to 11mpg 

[tje]

I've not got it as low for the orange light to come on yet. Those miles are including some progressive/spirted drives

21ish mpg round town 32mpg motorway driving :-)

[hilli182]

I've not done the maths for mpg but I run tesco 99 Ron in my classic turbo usually and get 200-250 a tank but I've read about faulty maf give bad mpg not sure how true this is though

[savage bulldogs]

I use my 1300 cdti van every day does about 160 mls to £20 :-)

Only done 6k mls in the scoob in the 3yrs I've owned it but I get about 18 smiles per gallon :-D

well mabye a bit less than that during the mapping session today ;-)

[Gaulson]

My mpg on the way home wasn't that good as I had a race with a Honda Prelude from my village... he's faster! Didn't realise it was that quick, I was going all out on the straight and it was getting closer and closer lol. He flashed his hazzards and gave me a thumbs up when he turned off :) . Will ask him what he's running when I see him around

[Dogconker]

Averaged 62 mpg including a thrash home, car said I'd averaged 78 on the way out. [emoji41]

Some BMW overtook me on the way home today, wasn't impressed . So took him straight back and slowed back down... he then sat miles behind me B) .

 

Oil change tonight, then perhaps next week get a boost gauge fitted

went for a 30 mile round trip (to the dentist :() had a BMW think he was clever about halfway along the A1 (between home and destination ofc) he decided to overtake me and sit just in front of me @ 65 till i noticed that the outside lane was empty for a fairly long stretch so i put my toe down and undertook him and just left him behind lol i think i may've seen him later on and he didn't look too happy but i love playing "games" with BMW/Audi drivers

[quit]

Just filled up the tank and went for 140 mile blast with the mrs
