Two random questions

1. What do people think of the comfort of their BA Astina Series 3 seats if you have them?

2. For the guys running BPTs, what your average fuel consumption per 100km?

project.r.racing · 26-11-2009, 08:49 AM

1. Very comfy, hold a little better against latteral g forces compared to P1 and P2 seats.

2. Most guys with BPTs say 9-11L per 100km. All depends on the set ups I guess. BPT owners will be able to tell you more acurately.

Im wondering if my seats are worn or not cuz ive noticed it doesnt seem to provide much lowerback support.

damn i am spending 9-10 right now, mainly due to AC + the pedal being glued to the floor

Mad Mat · 26-11-2009, 10:04 AM

lol tony. ya u can get great fuel econ from them. so long as u don't boost everywhere.. dave used to get 600+ out of his tank. on city driving. but now he gets a little less. (due to injectors and running a 13flat quarter mile

)

Really? I cant even get 500km out of my tank and mines a N/A

Rupewrecht · 26-11-2009, 10:28 AM

I think i get about 13L/100km, from a vague memory

About 350kms out of tank (with a rich tune and a lead foot and mostly short trips in suburban traffic), but just under 600 on the highway. All depends how you drive it.

u have more power there for its less stress on the engine to get it to more

Clean_Cookie · 26-11-2009, 11:37 AM

for n/a mostly highway driving to work/back, i managed 8.07l/100ks when i filled up this morning - i was very impressed, just put injector cleaner through it- must have helped... thats on bp ultimate of course with a screwed engine and 1/2 aircon.

scott b · 26-11-2009, 12:18 PM

that sucks, im getting around the 11L/100km without any aircon

stupid POS engine. only reason i dont drive with aircon is because i cant, it stalls. mmm me thinks i need a trip to a mechanic, and maybe a wreckers for a new engine

project.r.racing · 26-11-2009, 12:40 PM

You guys need more breathing. I get 600km from adding 42-45L at fill. So 7.0-7.5L per 100km. Both engines I've had in the Astina this year got these figures.

Put on the lighter weight MS-01Rs and it gets better again. But only by 30km per tank.

Currently have 1/8 tank left and 517km on the clock. And that included the skidpan day.

Mad Mat · 26-11-2009, 12:42 PM

it stalls.. it might be the tps... i had the same issue with my bg.. try gettin a new throttle body.

project.r.racing · 26-11-2009, 12:45 PM

the stalling is the IAC valve. black tube looking thing with a plug and wires hanging off it. (under the TB on a BA.)
