I still want the car to look like an Integra, so it won't be getting any boattails or stuff like that, but weight reduction, engine swap, bellypan, lower suspension, air dam... stuff you can't really see...that' I'm down for.

I might...MIGHT put clear lexan caps over my aftermarket wheels for aerodynamic purposes, but it'll depend on what they look like, and the mileage difference I observe.

An Integra is essentially a civic with a bigger motor, so getting the weight to within a couple hundred pounds of a civic should be doable. Couple that with similar aero to a VX hatch, and the VX lean burn engine, and I see no reason why I can't pull 50+ mpg with the Teggy.

Very attainable goals with these cars since like you said they are basically civics with larger engines. I think the tegs especially the 98+ and JDM versions have a bit of an edge areo wise compared the Civic hatch backs. One thing im not sure about is if our integras use Electronic VSS units or mechanical. If they were electronic it would be simple to recalibrate them for a slightly larger tire like the LRR tires that Coyote X is running on his metro, Well i guess a mechanical can be reset up as well with gear swaps.
