As above. Also expect up to 42mpg (my current record) and 35 in town if you're reeeeeally careful.

Expect about 15mpg if you hoof it all the time :lol:

edit: This is only on a gunner chip, expect about 20mpg from standard williams map :wink:

Looking for threads with F7R conversion details. Could you direct me to one please? Also, I'm assuming my stock 4 speed Gearbox is going to be no good for this. Do people even bother tuning B14's?
