I did the calculations on 5th gear @ 70 before based on my EX speedo:

5th gen CX/VX: 70mph ~2,300rpm (3.25:1 Final Drive)

6th gen CX/HX/DX/LX: 70mph ~2,640rpm (3.722:1 Final Drive)

6th gen EX Coupe: 70mph ~3,000rpm (4.25:1 Final Drive)
Cool. But one question and one correction: what were the wheel tire sizes? and the 6th Gen DX coupe and I think the LX too have a 4.058 final drive. The DX hatch had the 3.722 FD in the sixth gen, though.

Thanks! I apprecitate the encouragement. I try to include success, failure, and the learning... for a log of what I do and also to help others. Thanks again.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
