New to Forum.

Hello everyone-

Just wanted to say hello and thanx in advance for all the help I will be getting from the community here. Have found the site helpful to say the least. I am new to the emod thing and have recently purchased a 95 honda civic(1.5L) as my canvas. Will be pulling the AC tomorrow and picking up some ultra light rims next month. Well, thanx again.

Hello & welcome to Ecomodder!

You can just pull the fuse for the A/C to gain most of the benefit? Then there is no need to redo the belt. Have you considered some aerodynamic mods? I think these will do more for your mileage, than almost anything else...
