Save the little cars!

best mpg I've managed is 3.1ltr on regular road speeds yesterday on 90km tripm on ring road (went to test drive new GR Yaris Mk2 in event organized by Toyota Finland!). coasting longer hills down seems to make good for consumption. with start stop functionality as 1.2TDI sub 3ltr would be easy.
Stop start reduces emissions, but not sure about fuel consumption. The battery energy that is used each time you auto restart, has to be replaced, and that comes from the engine, so uses fuel. If the engine was off for a while, fuel saved, but less so short duration stops.
You'd get through starter motors too.

yes but rolling engine shut consumes 0 ltr whereas when idling its more of 1ltr/100km. if you're not in gear off throttle, that is.

My 1.2 has done 210,000 and dads 280,000 both on their way original starters! 😊
 
rest, good medicine and one lager did miracles and couldn't help myself in installing the wings.
first one was a battle with one screw socket to get aligned, 2nd one went in in a breeze.
They're quite firmly in their place with stock mountings and don't think they will drop off that easy even if tried.

fun little project!

three factory screws per side was used and then I put additional plastic plugs/rivets.
no need to make any new holes in plastics.

Changed the passenger side driveshaft. More work than expected, espec tightening the tranny side bolts was difficult alone, need to check torques with friend later.

started with driver side (left) CV today but there seemed to be quite bit of play in new CV so didn't install it but plan to return it.
Don't think there should be that much play.

 
driver side bolts were very tight but managed to open them. quite bit more than 23Nm..
Often the case over time. Refit torque is what counts though. There's a torque setting guide on this forum which lists all Torques for all bolts. Pretty sure it was 23nm but I guess anyone one could refit them tighter or use loctite etc.
Google torque settings a2oc I think it was by @Sarge
 
Front end felt now better after swapping the passanger side driveshaft and torquing both hub bolts tight. The hub bolts did not seem all that tight so the play could have come from them aswell.
 
the shaft that had the play was made of SNRA "made by quality" (sounds little bit funny). Contacted the seller, hope to get it returned and replaced.
