MPG isn't on my mind 'at the moment'. I'm running round in a fiat cinqy something at the moment, good little car and great for work. My intention is to use my midas for everyday use though i might end up keeping something else for everyday use to keep costs down. It's been about five years since the last time my midas was on the road but in that time i'm sure my MPG was around 35 and thats with a 24 year old driving it with a lead foot!
The good thing about the 1.4's is they are quite cheap, everyone wants the 1.8 version. With the 1.4 k in mine i could get low 7 0-60 times which is pretty good. I'm aiming for low 5's this time if i can get the power down.
Here's a couple of pictures of my rear suspension setup. i went with the displacers on the back because my old avo's were shot at and i'm not flush with money on this rebuild. I should be able to alter the pressure and ride height seperatly with this setup plus it's a good talking point. I've altered the front displacers to be like mini cones so i can adjust the pressure and height independantly.
