Yup I also had both calipers seize, replaced with re-manufactured. Yup I'm wondering how long it'll be before my booster starts having issues after twenty years. I've asked the mechanic who helped me (some stuff I cannot do) and he said that it was looking good. so we'll see how far I get with it.
and timing, glad you were able to check it 
I have to ask you.. how are you able to get 40mpg? I cannot seem to get past 32mpg. Everything is tuned up, new plugs, distributor, ecu capacitors replaced, new injectors, egr cleaned, new egr valve. everything is done! Alignment is perfect too. So let me know what you're doing.. I'd love to know. |
Yeah i miss the em1, it had a gsr swap in it with some head work done to it so it was a fun little motor. Sadly it was stolen and i still havent found it so its probably a bare shell right now
Keep your revs low, run in high gear when you can. These cars are different from the high revving honda motors they like that too but if you're trying to maximize fuel economy thats not the way to go. It takes some getting used to but if you learn that and stay consistent with it youll see better numbers more than likely.
