Short term, you might save at the pump but long term it'll probably cost you more in engine re-builds and additional wear & tear on the HT system. IMHO - Out of all of them, YYZ deserves to be kept as original as possible. However, it's your car & your choice but that's my 2p worth. :D M __________________________________________ The box said: "Windows 11 or better...." ...So I used a Macintosh. :D __________________________________________

I'm going to remove the large front G4 plate and put a decal there instead, it's got to improve things a bit? Still got a large 'grin' factor about driving and owning it though ;-) Even better that there ain't that many of us G4 'types' this far North :-) Vic Originally BL57 TWY, ex Belgium Trials Vehicle 'Never eat anything bigger than your head!'

Am thinking of switching to road tyres to help further and have even contemplated taking the roof rack off but this is proving to be more problematic due to the way the lighting loom has been rivitted to the underside of the alu platform. Any suggestions? Many thanks! BB

I have taken off the large G4 Challange plate from between the front headlights and replaced with a decal, this has helped by about 1-2mpg. I use it everyday to commute and play, some days she can put on 300miles, I just love it!:D Many thanks! BB
