Hey all,

Need your help (again, becoming a bit of a habbit this, can't wait until the car is all sorted and running well)

I'm getting a real crap mileage out of a full tank on my Sei Sporting Abarth (SPI Model), so I thought i'll jack it up and see what the exhaust's like, even though i can't hear any blowing or anything, this is what i found:

Pics are pretty big, sorry for all on dial up :(

i'm pretty sure this is my mechanic's handy work, as i took it to him recently as i could hear an exhaust blow.

could this be the reason i'm getting a crap MPG?

i have the abarth 14" alloys on the car, and i'm pretty sure one of them is bent, would this cause any difference to fuel consumption?

if anyone has got any other ideas what i should check please give us a shout.

thanks all

Hey all again, i just noticed that i'm running two different tyre sizes on the front, ones 1 175/50 14 and the others a 185/50 14, so i think one is slightly bigger, would this make any difference to the mpg?
 
thats is a bodged exhaust tho! looks like hes welded some s**t on there! that fraying bit of flex will be your next problem! your gona have a seriously loud exhaust!!!

whos ur daddy!???
 
Cheers for the advice, i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy myself a new lambda sensor, anyone know the cheapest place to get one, and is it a tough job to fit?

cheers
