Just been out in my car went to halfords.. Just relised how shite my 1.4 Sr is on petrol i one it to nearly empty the other day and stuck a fiver in to see what it would do yea i aint been driving careful but still i got it to 30 miles and its empty .. my 1.8 laguna injection did that to a fiver .. anyway on way home theres a long bit of road where u can go 60 down . so i pulled up waited till it got clear then stuck my foot down red lined in 1st 2nd 3rd and dint get to the red in 4th was doing like 90 then the car in front decided to stick his breaks on .. and i never new how shit the breaks was .! they are standard Sr ones and my god they are shit!!!!! my wheels wunt even lock when i jammed them on they just stuttered any closer to the car and i would have hit and i heard a bang ... Dont no what to fuck it was .. think it was some fuel in the exaust and it went bang out the back but was bloody loud So came home and the engine jeses christ it was boiling could here the oil bubbleing never new a engine to get so hot ... think the engine needs a tune or somthing then like a **** ... just tyurned ignition off took the oil cap off to see if i blew a gasket or out and splirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hot oil in my face and all over my cloths so that was fun ... Then like a even BIGGER tit i took of the water lid :| and SPLIRT boiling waster in my face not my day today i dont think =( so all that and halfords dint have nothing decent in the sale :(

a 5er of fuel at 80p a litre is 1.25 gallons
if your engine used that amount of fuel in 30miles there is something wrong with it assuming u werent flat out the whole time (u only got 24mpg)....
i did 230miles to 6 gallons yestarday including 5 drag strip runs and waiting in queue etc which is 38.3mpg :)
std nova brakes are shite.
obviously the engine youve just ragged upto 90 is gonna be hot... dunno why oil spurted out tho :/
not really .. i waited till road was clear =]
thats what i was thinking for a 1.4 it should be doing well more miles than that think i should take it for a service or somthing or maybe too much fuel is getting through .. just took my mum round the block to show her how shit the breaks are so she just gave me ?100 to get some new ones.. mite go to scrappy and get some of a calibra or a Cav will they fit under standard vauxhall 14s ? and do i need disks and calipers?
where would the best thing to take it to see why it is drinking ful ? and what would be the best thing to change?? the car is basicly standard apart from the bolt on k and N and the exaust so somthing is wrong ;\ aint been leathering it all the time but they have been town miles .. mostly in second as traffic lightes every 100 meters in fucking GY:@

Why thankyou. You should be an english teacher.
first of all if its drinking fuel get it on some ramps\over a pit to see if the fuel lines have coroded mine had done
second i would avoid buying second hand disks from a scrappy
check ebay theres always stuff on there
Uncle Razorjack says: Remember kids - always rag your car up to 90 before getting used to how poo standard nova brakes are.... :roll:

LAMO @ this whole post!
as for Breaks = brakes, i've noticed this on at least 2 other posts in the last week or so.
And also ebay puts in another appearence in this post.
I think the word 'Ebay' should be banned from this forum. :roll:

You took your time to work out how poor the novas brakes are. Get some bigger brakes then you can get to about 100 before you need to brakes before you hit the car in front, that'll scare him
