Wow lots of miles!!

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

EA....the key to getting great mileage is easy on the throttle....shift at around 2-2300rpm.....coast to stop signs....highway driving....

100% city i get around 21-22mpg
mixed 50-50 i get around 26-28mpg
all highway i get around 34-35mpg

all city i get around 150-160 miles in a half tank (i only fill 1/2 tank or less at a time).....
all highway i get around 475-500 miles in a tank....i do not use cruise control and i only get 475 miles to a tank if am driving at 70-75 mph....any higher and the mpg starts to creep down....

endles/acura

LTxArucAx60 and many more miles to come.

swoosh ,thanks bro. I'm going to drive it like its a Prius.
Dam man i'm jelly,there's no way i can get this car to do 500 miles with one tank.I have done everything mechanicly to get this car 100%(whats next an Inaccurate diet?)i know the diet would work but i really like the way the car looks as it sits.
I hate going to gas stations(specially lately).If granny driving doesn't work for me i may be looking at plan B.
I really don't want to go with plan B ( Diesel).
I'm burning $60 of gas a week,cant continue this way.

^^^ well at highway speeds the diet doesnt do as much as it does in city speeds....

just go very easy on the gas pedal....

endles/acura

Thanks brother,i'll keep you posted on those mpg's.

Looking to get an oil change soon,hopefully we get power at my dealer tomorrow so i can go back to work.

Mileage update: 136,610 miles

endles/acura

Changed the oil and filled her up with sunoco 93,lets see how she does.

Mileage update: 136,783 miles

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

not sure if the oil change will yield you higher mpg...you will have to run a severely thin oil to see a gain in mpg (which is not a good idea)

endles/acura

swoosh , yup oil change definitely made no change but it was due.(last lof 07/27/2012 at 133,432 miles)
Managed to squeeze 331 miles out of a full tank,i'm happy with it.I have to realize that 40% of my commute is below 30mph traffic,so not so bad i guess.
Will be testing shell v-power 93



Parked in front of my neighbors g60 corrado.

So now that im driving her everyday,that noise from the rear shelf/speakers just got too anoying for me so,yanked the seats out and got to work.



original padded tape is just worn out






Putting it back together.


So now the noise is a lot less then before,the design on that rear shelf is not that great.A lot better now,can pump the bass a little higher now.

-One thing i notice this week,when you drive around without the back seat:
People want to race you.Whats up with that?I'm just trying to fix a rattle....lol

swoosh, you got to get it done.What a difference, now i can bring some bass into the mix.

Steven Bell, lol.Thats funny.

The one guy was driving a mini van, the wife (sitting in the passenger seat)keep starring at me,so when light turns green he starts burning rubber.
You could tell the wife was embarrassed.I just went about my commute at a normal pace like nothing happen.

^^^ hahaha gotta love minivan folks....

recently I was driving and cutting thro traffic as I was running late and this chic in a minivan started tail gating me and cutting thro traffic as well....we came to a stop light side by side and she was in smiles and winks....i was like, "if there is some room in the rear we can both "

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

^^^^ She wasn't thinking THAT. She was thinking that if a cop stopped you, YOU'D get the ticket because she was following YOU!

Still love the red calipers. They look great on a WDP.

endles/acura

swoosh,Thanks men.

Steven Bell,i agree.My first choice was that gold colour you see on the sti's ,but my wife talk me out of it.I'm glad she did,i love it.
I catch people starring at the calipers all the time.

That's an average of 292 miles per tank.Not bad,considering that i do floor it sometimes. Hey got to keep that v-tec in working condition.



The idea is still a bit freash,but looks like i'll be getting the under body spoilers(type-s) for my car(Poor man style). One piece at the time. Will be placing the order for the front one by christmas.

^^^ buddy try to get front and rear at the same time....i did it that way...

i still dont have the sides

endles/acura

swoosh,i would get both at the same time but aint got the money.The front i'm hoppefully getting as a gift for christmas,the back im buiyng it myself for my birthday in a month.The sides will get eventually.
I can't believe you dont have the sides didnt even notice,cool.

Getting some parts this week,a gas cap(just because) and a cabin air filter(will be 1 year old in a few days).

Got some good numbers this weekend, 339 miles in one tank (mixed driving).

Sorry E/A-I haven't updated your thread's title-done today though.

endles/acura

Steven Bell,no problem sir.

Ordered today cabin air filter $6.24(shipped) and oem gas cap $24.25(shipped). Both on ebay.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

339 is very decent

and yeah i am not paying $200-ish for aspec sides and you can even notice them

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

EA, you should consider getting the red Brembo covers for the back calipers. The red Brembo's stand out so well against the WDP. It almost looks incomplete without the rears done too.

endles/acura

swoosh, i will not rest untill i squeeze 400 miles out of a full tank.

Steven Bell,i totally agree with you.Where can i get those covers ?
