Hello, I'm Ty from South Jersey. Got a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2 and became interested in moddifying for economy while participating on another ZX2 forum. I've been able to raise my average mpg on my commute from 27-28 mpg to almost 35 by moddifications and driving better.
I've had a lot of fun making the changes and seeing the benefit so I wanted to get involved with a forum about moddifying for economy
So far, I've replaced the intake resonators with pvc pipe, unplugged a terrible knock sensor that pulls timing all the time, put on a 40% underdrive crankshaft pulley, altered the IAT sensor to help give a little more timing, put on a SVT Focus header and a 2.25" cat back mandrel bent exhaust system with strait thru muffler.
The car is now way more fun to drive, runs faster and gets way better mileage.
