I've never gotten around to making a thread to show my car so here it is.
I drive a courier route about 220 miles per day currently.
Driving the same route everyday is nice for getting a routine down for hypermiling.
Although I aspire to have as awesome mods as others here that I drool over their cars I'm limited on time, skills and resources so this is my compromise of easy for me mods that I've done and am loving the mpg!
Here it is with steelies and 86 crx hubcaps
And current trim (the unpainted hood has since sun faded)
Since I bought the car wit 262k miles on it in at the end of the winter I have
Timing belt and water pump
Mpguino
50psi tires
Pennzoil synchromesh mt oil
No carpet and gutted trunk, removed sound deadening, some engine bay brackets, broken glovebox etc
Passenger mirror delete
AC delete (most of it)
Da9 Integra seats
Garden edging front lip
Grill block made from alum siding
Antenna delete
Trunk swap to remove spoiler
Manual steering rack swap
Replaced a lot of suspension to restore normal function
Alum rear control arms
Replaced the broken headlights from deer damage
Replaced oil pan
Replaced Pcv and added oil catch can
Replaced radiator
And I'm sure there's more I forgot but that's it in a nutshell, currently 279k miles
I was pulling 60+ mpg tanks but after a lot of downtime for repairs etc I am driving it regularly again and the best I can do is mid 50
not sure what is causing this drop but my possible culprits are recent alignment, timing retardation because of pinging, wheel swap to vx wheel with tread on them Over bald with steelies and nice aero ish caps, a suspected dragging brake and possible something happened when it overheated
Tested the compression and was 190ish on all 4 cyl so I don't think I cooked the motor or head gasket by getting it hot
