I already have a 1993 Civic Sedan with a B20B swap that gets 33mpg, and it's alot quicker than a miata too. I'm disapointed actually I thought the Miata would do better than that for mpg..

A homemade vehicle can be licensed in our state, I can chose 2 ways: taking the receipts for all parts materials etc and being assigned a vin for a custom built vehicle, or use parts from a donor vehicle, which will get scrapped, and then becomes the identity of the modified vehicle. I'm leaning towards the custom built licensing because then any exhaust I make would be the original and therefore not subject to our states bogus modified exhaust laws which they removed the sound limit and left it to the officers discretion(basically if your exhaust is shiny and aftermarket here's a ticket loud or quiet).
Building my own I would be subject only to the federal standards of 95 decibels or less.
