It took me a good week or so to really get the hang of driving it. When another trip to LA (from Bay Area) came up 2 weeks after the new clutch and flywheel were installed, I was really excited thinking I would get more mpg. What I found was that I was getting 33-34mpg in my crude measurements. But another month later I got the same results. The car was more responsive, and accelerated faster..and revved up faster...but after hitting the gas in neutral...the rpms decreased much faster with the 7lb flywheel. I didn't care much at the time, I wanted good gas mileage, but at 20 years old, I wanted to have fun more.
Thanks takara! Anybody else have similar results?
