Steve_Farrimond Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well, got a week off work, the Mrs is decorating, so I thought I'd tax the car and take her for a spin. Today was the first time I've taken her out. Whent and saw my mate at ATS in Frodsham, he filled the tires with nitrogen (doesn't expand with temperature) £1 per tire if anyone is interested. Car feels much better with 20 psi rather than the 31 that was in it. Suspensions too soft on the rear. Also looking forward to the rolling road session in March. Other than that an enjoyable day, covered about 60 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Farrimond Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks James. 1313 said that he runs 18psi and its good for him. With a little expansion as the tires heat up, I though 20 psi with nitrogen would be about right. It felt much better afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I run 40psi in mine , fuel economy is much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Farrimond Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Haha grim reapers my mate, had loads of close calls, but for now he keeps going away. Lets hope it stats that way Only drove roads that I knew already. A few twisted between Warrington, Chelford and then Northwich, but nothing too adventurous.
