Spectreblazer is on a distinguished road

On topic: CAI is always a good bet, as is a better exhaust. However, someone told me that exhaust size upgrade doesn't net a huge gain in the MPG category. Be careful though- when I first did intake and exhaust on my Firebird, I missed the MPG gain though because my foot liked the HP gain more haha. Try the stuff Spectreblazer mentioned in his first post. I for one like to find out more about the vac/turbo gauge trick.[/quote]

like Alex has already said, the Civic's are Canadian. besides (practically) being built in my backyard, my Dad also delivered a good portion of the bricksand that helped build the Honda plant in Alliston, and all of it's expansions over the years.

that's almost as good as the $200 i paid for the VW powered '82 Dodge Omni i owned for 9 months & 3 days!

the vac gauge trick is gonna be the best bet for increased mileage. but still, we are talkin' about a 4.3 powered Blazer.
