My crx is getting 65 miles per gallon on 93 octane with around 140hp and 135fpt. With a gude cam 242/242duration and 443/443lift, weber 32/36 DGEV carb kit went up 1 jet size, pocket ported head, MSD blaster box, 2inch hedman hedder, 1/34 piping, NGK vpower plugs, and devac the engine bay. The car hauls ass and gets good gas milage.

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Why do i doubt that? ? Like rolling down the hill in neutral? its a nice setup, but the mpg's seem impossible.
Someday my car will look as clean and sexy as this:


-1997 318ti DD

-1989 240sx sold on CL

-1985 CRX DX, sold to Justin

-1985 CRX Si, sold to Indyman.

-1991 CRX Si, totaled in the mountains, RIP

Very interesting. As I am about to rebuild an EW1, I am interested in what you have done. It almost sounds too good to be true.

That TQ is massive also..

I'm guessing you must be a little more built than EW1 with bolt ons, cams, and carbs..

Nope, dry.gif I'm not buyin' it.

The numbers don't add up.

If you love the Elise, drive a Se7en - Caterham or whatever...
It has even less content than the Elise, is less graceful looking
...and changes direction like a ping pong ball whacked by Thor.
