Hello ecomodders! It's finally the time I decided to register after months of lurking around the forums to compile some fairly useful resources.
My name's Tom - I'm from Vancouver, British Columbia.
So long story short I've been bitten by the eco-bug - I used to drive a 95 Lexus GS300 which guzzled gas like a m*fker which eventually got written off due to an accident. My replacement vehicle was a 1996 Acura Integra SE automatic transmission - and the world of fuel savings were apparent after I appreciated spending $50CAD instead of $90CAD to fill up a tank of gas. The Integra was recently sold, and my best tanks were at 31MPG (calculated based on distance driven and how much gas was used each fill-up).
I impulsively picked up a 1993 Del Sol Si during my procrastination period during final exams 2 months ago (since I'm still going to University). The vehicle was dirrrrt cheap - it was real rusty but it ran well. It was originally purchased as a vehicle for me to learn how to drive manual transmission. After I became acquainted with driving the vehicle - I decided to try and maximize as much as possible the fuel efficiency. My build-in-progess has both the fuel efficiency modifications in mind as well as the form.
