My 94 VX

[2000neon]

Thanks, my commute may be changing a bit and focus on more city, so the VX came at the perfect time.

For future reference, I will stay as 2000neon. No it really didn't take long, from when I originally started increasing my tire pressure to the fully aero-modified neon took less than a year!

I have to get to work soon and so I can't update everything that I would like to. I have gotten the car safetied and emissions tested, it easily passed both. I have also finished up my stereo system and took care of some more of the surface rust, I am now all done under the hood for the few rust spots. I have pictures but not the time to upload and post them.

Also my best mpg yet, just over 60 US MPG, 73 Imp MPG!

It was only a half tank because tomorrow I am going straight from school, picking up my girlfriend and unfortunately going to a funeral. It will be about 4 hours total of driving, some city and mostly highway and I didn't want to test my range or have to stop then so I just filled it up at a halftank (just over 300 miles, basically 5 gallons). I guess on a full tank, running almost empty I might be able to hit 600 miles on a tank!

On your way to the top 10?

Getting a feel for lean burn?

[2000neon]

That would be cool! Especially considering that tank had over 100 miles of short trip commuting to school and back and temperatures are pretty cold in the morning. I can't wait until next summer, high temps and a highway trip could maybe put me up there.

I still have no instrumentation for lean burn or anything, just trying to drive it during the conditions I've read here for lean burn and hoping it's there, I guess it is!

I wish Brian would have decided he was selling his car 1 or 2 months earlier. I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. When he decided to sell it, I had already bought my rusted HX and had committed to doing the swap D16Y5 swap to my CX. Enjoy that low mileage VX! It is clean in all the right places.

I guess that is the thing with buying and selling cars, timing is everything. This car is amazingly clean, and believe me it is being enjoyed and appreciated. Your CX is a great car too I have been following along with your swap. That will be an impressive car! When I couldn't find any decent VX's I was almost set to build my own and do the engine/trans swap with either the d15z1 or one like yours.

Please do not ruin the VX with all of those mods you did to the neon. It was understandable on the neon as it was already old and rusted but now that you've got a clean, nice looking car that already gets over 60MPG, what is the point on sacrificing the looks of the car for some goofy looking mods. Atleast no visual cosmetic mods like the wheel covers and diaper on the back.
