    Just driven 700 odd miles on my jollies, so switched to economy map

    Mainly constant throttle using c. Control and pottering

    Achieving 40 mpg using A/C most of the time

    The car felt much more docile which was pleasant for touring.

    Decided to switch to map 3 when back home

    Throttle was much crisper, much more linear to input

    Much more performance and fun to drive

    Economy in everyday use 35 mpg

    So very good

    But.....that extra performance is based on leaner fuelling and more advance

    So have been aware on more pinking at roundabouts etc when not giving her beans!

    Kinda reminds me of one of my old Celicas before getting rid

    340bhp

    Recaros

    40mm Bilsteins all corner weighted

    When everything was working in harmony, she was brilliant and a real adrenalin rush

    The 86 gives me the same adrenalin rush, pretty much out of the box

    With everyday reliability and unbelievable economy

    When I do eventually get my 350-400bhp Carlos Sainz Celica back on the road, the worry will be an anti-climax!

    Popped down to Lechlade

    Circa 200 odd miles each way

    Hot so using aircon

    Running on economy map 1

    Mainly constant throttle

    No great acceleration

    Seems to change the character of the car, more relaxing to drive

    And averaging 40 mpg!

    I have seen a Samco induction tube (standard air box) fitted to some cars, which has enables the noise generator to be deleted,

    which looks much neater

    and less complicated.

     

    Any thoughts on noticeable noise levels?

    I don't suppose there is a performance benefit?

    One consideration being the heat generated from the amp,

    was considering mounting all below the carpet,

    but now thinking bout a custom enclosure in the boot,

    maybe using mdf?

    And having the amp level with the boot floor, giving more heat dissipation?

     

    Any thoughts?

    Just ordered the speaker template/baffle from Patrick Henry today,

    which will place the tweeters in the oem position

    I think that I will need to clear the boot of all foam etc to mount the amp and crossovers?

    Then after sound insulating everywhere glue some of the foam back in to support the boot carpet?

    Just bought an Alpine amp,

    seemed cheap enough, dealer was selling it off as "demo unit" PDX-F6 4 channel,

    will probably look to mount it together with the crossovers in the boot.

     

    I have a roll of 2mm insertion rubber lying around,

    maybe pull all the foam out of the boot/spare wheel well,

    then cover it?

     

    Just need to decide on which Focal 6.5" speakers to fit?

    Any ideas?

    Looking to buy today.

     

    Dynamat or similar to cover the doors?

    Any cheaper alternatives?

     

    Anyone wish to fit my box of tricks?
