:D
Not that many plans for this one... tint rear 3 windows, spray font grill black, maybe vinyl on the front, and maybe some new wheels.
Will probably end up with a GSR kit and re-map aswell. :D

Interesting, the book combined values for:

Stilo JTD: 53.3mpg
GPS Mjet: 48.7mpg
Bravo 150Mjet: 50.4mpg

TBH Tris, you go for what you like best. Theres plus's and minus's for both Mjet and Tjet. Like Mjet has better economy and easier to tune. Tjet is nicer to listen too and will have a more useful rev range.

Its up to you :)

A Tjet is easy to tune. You cant fairly compare a diesel to a petrol when tuning.

I mean "bang for buck". £200 sees 55bhp in the Mjet, how much do you have to spend to see that increase in a Tjet?

Im looking at this from an unbiased front. Both the cars have their plus's and minus's. You cant deny the Mjet is better for people doing high mileage (like me), but the Tjet is better for town driving.

Its up to the final user to work out what is best for them tbh

Still you cant compare diesels to petrol on tuning even if they are better bang for buck. Its the characteristics of diesel engines that they benefit highly from a remap only. Im not looking at it from a biased front you just cant compare petrol and diesel tuning prices as the petrol car will always come out more expensive!

Im not denying anything about the Mjet? Look at my other posts on it and you will see i say the Mjet is the one to go for if you are doing high mileage. Tjet isnt really for town driving as if you are in traffic most of the time you will see sub 20mpg. Its good for less than 20k a year with a mixture of all driving conditions.


Im aware its up the to final user to decide again i have said no different so why are you being so defensive?

Apologies for sounding defensive, but your post sounded like it needed that response....

Thats exactly what im trying to say, you cant compare the two easily. Its up to Tris which he buys :D
