Well I haven't updated the thread because there haven't been many updates. Basically it's just a bone stock car that kicks @$$.
. Yup, good driving technique and a decent route is all that it takes to get a VX around 60 mpg. With winter coming and doing mostly city driving to school and back has dropped my fuel economy down to low 50's. I'm expecting to stay above 45 mpg average for the winter pretty easily.
The only real change to the car is that I added a front air dam. Oddly enough it is from a first generation S10/ Blazer (the square ones), I gave it some relief cuts along the top to let it curve to match the front bumper of the Civic, and I'd say it fits pretty well.
