I aggree about the 4WD conversion. I read in a recent car magazine over here some comments from the editor which also supported the idiocy of this conversion. Obviously they had had a heap
of people writing in to a tech section about how they should tackle doing a 4WD conversion to their 2WD. Well he must have had the shits with it because when the next one wrote in he told
them it was a crap idea and they were not going to bother printing anymore similar requests because the cost and engineering work to make something like that work was never going to be worth
it and that if they wanted a 4WD to bloody well go and by one.
Ezy Outs you're right. I have only ever used them once without heat first and that was in an RB30 Nissan which wasn't that old.
That 22.8 mpg sounds OK but I'm not sure of the conversion to metric (also can't be bothered.
I have been trying to get some miles up on my Commodore which runs the LS1 5.7 litre and 6 speed box as it is part of a salary package and has to do a minimum number per year. I get a
monthly fuel statement and averaged 10.46 litres per 100 klm's in February I had several 10's and a couple of 9's with a best of 9.46l/100km. Mind you I also started the statement with a
worst ever 17.18. Must have been a lot of rain that week as I generally don't trash the tyres as they are 18's and quite expensive.
