Yaaaar!

Hi, I like cars.

I have a 305K mile 89 Civic DX, running a D15B7 and OBD1 ECU. She's an old, battered thing that burns oil atrociously. The pertinent figures are 26 mpg city (2700 ft elevation/mountains) and today she netted 39 mpg on a flatland roadtrip.

I've had good luck with getting stock or better FE out of EFI cars with big cams, and am considering going that route with some aero work, see if I can hit 45+. The basic idea is 12.5:1 CR, Crower stage 3 or Zex 59300, free/cheap exhaust, no real portwork or anything of that sort because I am lazy, will net a whopping ~140 whp. I'll keep the dog DX box.
