[Vwdiesel] "new" car suggestions

[The President]

Hi
I don't have much dealing with CATs; but from what I can gather they are 
somewhat restrictive. Whilst my exprience is relatively limited diesel 
wise... Ie I only drive 1.6TD Quantae; but there is a Citroen in the family 
that runs A lucas CAV setup that IIRC runs on 118bar and gets near 90mpg 
[imp] on a run.
I have 2 identical 1.6TD (4 actually but only 2 I drive}:-) They are set up 
identically  timing wise. The main differences being the one has the 2" ID 
exhaust from a 5 cylinder gasser from downpipe back and with the usual 
central muffler replaced with a straight pipe back to the rear muffler. This 
one gets 60mpg on a run. The other one gets 45mpg best and has the standard 
double muffler and is about 1 1/2" ID. The less economic vehicle is 
definiitely a 'better' engine. both were improved by using a homemade 
lightly oiled fine weave cotton airfilter. Both improved from PO ownership 
by accurate timing of cam to crank using feeler gauges. Economic engine 
burns a little oil  150000 miles .The younger engine 110000 miles and 
serviced by rich farmer...
