just keeping thread updated for future readers
summary of things done:
new tyres, 35psi
two bottles of cataclean
a few injector cleaners (still a few more doses left in bottle)
blocked a slight gap in airbox (not sure if made any difference)
cleaned MAF
new spark plugs
originally 17-18mpg (urban only)
latest reading 21.5mpg (urban only)
point to note urban in my case means lots of start stop traffic, lots of speed-bumps and schools on my route (people just randomly stopping on yellows to eject their little treasures) so I think that's about as good as it gets
still considering the 140-170bhp remap not for power but because I read it's actually slightly a more efficient map.. anyone think that seems likely?
still working on getting everything tip-top before i do any remapping though
