Here is the parts car that the motor I am using came from.

I know this isn't your typical hypermiling vehicle, thanks for putting up with me. It IS an economy car. In it's day THIS was the "Civic" or "Corolla", maybe even the "Metro" or "Prius"!

It was one of the smallest cars available in America. It got mid 26 mpg and kicked butt in its day for economy. I plan on reliving that and then seeing what I can do with a few modern mods. I see some things that are SOOOO bad, a little change like wheel liners (they are like friggin parachutes now!) the headers, remove the metal fan, tires, I think I can get some REAL big improvements out of it and look forward to the fun in doing it.
