Well i'm booked in at Option Motorsport. There going to give it all a once over and tune her up.

Once thats done i'll get them to rolling road it and see where the power is relative to its claimed output.

Update!

Just come back from Option Motorsport. They tested and checked everything on the car, compression tests, emissions, ecu - no faults!

Owner nana agreed with me its fuel consumption is poor, but asked me to wait another month to see if it gets worse. or indeed something packs up..

So i guess its a wait and seen and keep monitoring mpg..

Am.

They mentioned a temperature sensor which they recommend I change to IS200 one which could improve consumption by 10-20% he claimed..

They checked everything.. but found zippo fault after 1hr 1/2 of fault finding..

They did tell me mine was the best example Altezza they had seen :)

Small test done today.

same route, 37miles -

test A drive like a total looney throughout the gears - 21mpg

test B drive changing gear upto 3,000rpm - 28mpg !!

So there we have it altezzas aren't very fuel efficent over 3,000rpm !

The car has been in the country for 3 years prior to me owning it. The previous owner done no mods at all since he bought it brand spanking new from Japan showroom direct!. I asked Option Motorsport when they had the car if it was chipped, they found no evidence or anything irregular that showed up on there machine.
