Hi,
I'm from the Netherlands and I just started working as a engineer.
I've always loved cars and like to work on them (hobby).
I have had 4 cars already, did some racing with them primarily auto-x.
Performance wise there's already alot off knowledge, but improving your car to get the best mileage isn't explored that much.
So this make's it more off a challange and that's way I want to hypermill my car.
I still want to do some auto-x once a month so i'll combine the best of both worlds.
As a student I got sick off the appalling public transport, so I bought myself
a honda civic 1.5 vtec-e, with leanburning mode.
Stock with some adjusted driving I got about 1L/20KM that's about 47MPG!
Quite good for stock.
Its not the nicesist civic buth i got it for cheap, which was a must as a student.
And for my daily commute to work a go by bicycle, so i'm using it only in my spare time. This makes tracking the mpg's difficalt.
current modyfications:
-General maintenance, and rust prefention.
-Lowered it with coil-overs from ast suspension
-Got larger winter wheels from the new mini cooper 175/60/r16 runflat
The steelies do have al the same dimensions as the stock steely, except for the diameter 14" vs 16".
With aerodynamic bmw 7-series hub-caps.
-Aerodynamic 15" opel rims.
Stock
Last winter
