I'm getting a '95 EX sedan for a 'VX Sedan' build project. I will be using HX wheels, too.

My major desire for this project is to be a highway machine benefiting from the lean-burn engine as well as the VX 5th gear.

I also am going to make this a much improved handler for the twisty stuff, so looking forward to that.

What kind of highway mpg are you expecting (say at 65mph or less)?

Looking forward to more pics!

I built mine with the intentions of spirited driving. I love twisties and curves. I replaced all ball joints with Moog pieces, brand new wheel bearings, arp extended lug studs, and have some adjustable camber arms with new ball joints coming. Last thing I need to replace is tie rods.

I had to shave my calipers (they are GSR Calipers) to get them to clear the HX wheels up front.

I am aiming for 60-65mpg when I am done. I would really like to get my hands on a D15B (3 Stage Vtec) head and try my hand at a turbo setup.

I got some decent plans up my sleeve, just getting them to fall into place.
