490g for a gear knob is quite heavy. The OEM one already is about 290g.

Hahaha what car were you in?

I've gotten some cash offers which a normal person would take if keen for a sale but too be honest currently more interested in a swap :)
Not really wanting a cash sale unless its something that i can't say no to, sounds stupid but wanting to avoid looking for another car while being cashed up or else i might be tempted to buy stupid things which aren't needed LOL

Im getting around 320km per tank of 98 fuel. Is that normal? Not reving hard but hit vtec on 2nd and 3rd gear few times a week. Normal?

Depends on driving styles even without hitting VTec

Me
420 round town
500 highway

And that's with a Haltech + tune

Its much better on stock ECU

Hi Guys,

I picked up a CTR just 2 weeks ago. Absolutely loving it :)

My fuel light also comes on after 320kms. It only takes 30 litres though. This can't be normal?

Another question is anyone here running the Gruppe M intake? I find that it rattles around a bit.
Found this write up which looks interesting - http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/sh...before-posting!
Anyone tried this with any success?

Thanks in advance

I got 350km per of 98 fuel with stock ECU and hit vtec few times.
But I found that the fuel meter is not quite accurate.
The fuel system cleaner will be helpful?

Fuel meter isn't very accurate. EP3 have 50L tank. How much do you fill up at the station? Should be getting around 9-10L/100km

I find bp gives me the best kms in mine, had both o2 sensors replaced through warranty on the car and I get about 420km before the fuel tank lights up, occasional vtec with very little highway driving.

With the light on I've risked it to see how far I could get and I thy it and extra 80-100kms out of it before I bitched it and fueld up haha

Cars only got a mugen CaI the rest is stock
