not had it long enough to fill the tank yet mate, how much should i be getting out of say 1/2 tank, if i push for vtec it drops a bar on the fuel guage

A full tank is the only reliable number, fill it up and see what you get. After a few tanks you will start to know what is your average mileage to a tank. Also, is your car a 97-98 or a 99-01? Manual or Auto?

surly it cant be this bad on fuel, my 4th gen was not to bad, should the managment light come on for the oxy sensor just so i know..

thanks mate

The 99-01's use more fuel than the 97-98's (the 97-98 being similar to 4 g ludes). The 99-01's have a bigger throttle body and diferent gear box leading to higher fuel consumption.

Plus have you had a look to see if any of your calipers are sticking?

In my mind, someone with true technical knoweldge will probally confirm, the O2 sensor may not be working 100% but wont give a warning light.

i think the rear calipers are on there way out as the disks are a little rusty and the hand break is crap, also i think the driverside front is trying to fail but i dont think its sticking, it does pulll to the right tho so i could be wrong

For a start, I would get the car up on the jack and spin each wheel, the rear calipers get gunked up and the handbrake cable on the caliper siezes up.

It wont do any harm anyway Very Happy

fair play, the hand break light has been coming on so im guessing that wont help, thanks again mate

the passenger side rear wheel was touch warm but the driver side rear seems ok, im guessing if the driver side front caliper is locking up its gonna pull to one side.

wen you get a new hand break cable do you get the bracket with it

If your "handbrake" light is coming on, it's a brake warning light, check your fluid, brakes are important mmkay.

Calipers sticking off doesn't mean they're not sticking on, if they're not operating correctly, they'll drag anyway.
