New from Topeka, KS

[oldertech]

Hi Everyone!

This looks like a really neat group here. I guess I've been dabbling with hypermiling techniques since I first added a CalCustom driving computer to my second car, a 1978 MGB in the early 80s.

Currently driving a 2007 Cobalt with stickshift and easily getting 26mpg in town and up to 37 on the highway. But the new baby is a 1995 Honda VX that I pick up today. It has 215,000 miles, a tired clutch and a noisy gearbox and I'll be trying to figure out what to attend to first. I already know its a 4-wire O2 Calif. emission setup and I'll be trying to sort through all the postings I've read on the internet about converting to a 49state 5wire system. I think it's so sad that leanburn is disabled. But the previous owner said he still got 50mpg on the highway so it's still got a lot going for it.

Later!

Hi oldertech - welcome to EcoModder.

Looking forward to following the rejuvenation of your VX - hope you'll keep us updated. Once you get it running right, you'll probably want to add an MPGuino.

Welcome to ecomodder! Interested to see how you do with the cali vx.

Welcome to EM, be sure to put up a build thread about the VX

Welcome from down the road in KC...

The Cobalt will pay dividends in good economy. Same for the VX after some TLC. Keep us updated on the project!

Best FE to ya...
