New Here
But not really new to the game, I am a ecomodder lurker, have been doing mild ecomodding for years like Engine off and coast, and driving tiny motor 1.4t vehicles.
I currently have a 2013 Chevy Cruze ECO 1.4t with 6speed manual transmission. I love what GM did from the factory to improve this cars mpg, even making it a few hundred pounds lighter than the regular Cruzes.
I like weight reduction. So my plans for this car are.
lighter battery from a Honda Fit, the 151R. thats about 18 pounds lighter than the stock cruze battery
Muffler and resonator delete, replaced with straight pipe, about 12 pounds saved
Primary cat replaced with Downpipe, 7 lbs
Adjustable coilover kit. I weighed this one already, 9 lbs lighter than oem.
Front Sway bar delete...I am unsure how much it weighs, 10~20 lbs but I already removed the sway bar links so the sway bar is not doing anything.
The goal is to remove 100 pounds. I uber out of the vehicle, so seat removal and other things like that are not options here.
Best mpg so far was 5 miles on the highway at 55mph, netting 55mpg.
Glad to finally make an account and stop being a lurker.
