Nice numbers. And nice car. I prefer the 1.8L to the 1.4L turbo because it is simpler. The Sonic is the same car in terms of engines and transmissions. I like the combo of the NA engine and super tall 6-speed manual transmission. With more EOC you could pull some ridiculously high numbers. Do the kiss-starts correctly and there will be no harm to your equipment. My 1998 Civic just crossed 250,000 miles. It has the original factory clutch/flywheel from 1998 and for the last 75,000 miles I have EOC and kiss-started it scores of times a day. Still no slipping.

Nice!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
