Ren: My '92 Civic

[MetroMPG]

I love it. Way to inspire.

Makes me want to quit early today and go work on my ghetto cardboard boat tail. In fact, I think I will do just that.

Stage 2: Engage! by Tyler Linner, on Flickr

Off to Cleveland again, hoping for 55mpg.

I rebuilt everything but the rear skirts.

-full grille block
-lower front skirts
-airflow trips on rear corners
-more thorough gap taping

Went for a test drive to my [former] college and it was really funny seeing the art kids' expressions. There's almost no wind noise. I got questioned by a neighbor on the way in just now. Ha!

43mpg... I don't f.ing get it.

Anyway my friend has this and I just may buy it before lowering the civic. It's so fun!


Planning on buying this... by Tyler Linner, on Flickr

Aero mods are off but I'm keeping parts as templates. Tired of it looking multi color taped up gross.

My goodness your in Michigan now? Obviously I have missed alot. I haven't been on here, or the computer for that matter much all winter.

I glanced through your thread and you seem to have made some nice strides with your Civic. I really like the aero wheel covers!

Due to life, I just haven't had hardly any time to do anything with my Civic except drive it every day. I see you pulled 250 miles per half tank, that seems real good, especially if you can maintain a decent freeway speed. I haven't done any aero mods since I got mine but reading your info has me wanting to do some soon.

Maybe you listed it here and if so I missed it, did you sell your Probe to someone local here in MN? If so I'll keep my eyes open for it lol.

Thanks. I sold the Probe to a guy in Elk River. Sounds like he was going to daily drive it. Got a job at GM...

My muffler fell off on the Ohio Turnpike today so the scooter and coilovers are on hold while I search for a good-sounding, affordable exhaust system. Since it leaks into the cabin I'm looking for mani-back to just replace it all. D16Y7

This car's such a piece of ****. I'm going to look into maybe buying a Lotus Elise or something for the summer.

Ubecha

[Sven7]

Looks like that'll be it.

Turns out the guy who put the thing on my windshield also works at GM, and I just didn't find the note until i got home. He drives an Insight... go figure!

Ecomodders gotta stick together.

Exhaust is due to arrive tomorrow. Hoping to throw it in all at once to be ready for the TSD rally on Sunday.
