so i drove up to port orchard on sunday to pick up a complete T5 swap from kurfbird. including some intown in hillsboro after i got back (to finish off my tank) i used 22.3x gallons of fuel and travled 690 miles. so i averaged 30MPG. this seams realy high. but i tripple checked my math and recalculated all my fuel recipts. it's right.

i was doing the speed limit the whole way, but i did stick to my usual pattern of accelerting up to speed quickly. i don't get it... seems like the hotter it is outside the better mialage i get......

well, thats all for now. i am currently connected to internet via a pirated wireless signal from one of my fellow appartment dwellers who has an unsecured signal (fools). unfortunatly i can only connect at night... (sunlight actualy has an effect on wireless communication and radio signals, look it up) and so i get about 2 Mbps

Whoa. That's awesome. This was in the 6er?

I've been playing with a new toy. A couple weekend ago Steve and I picked up that 84 CRX. I've been getting a consistent 44mpg in the thing. Even with a dying motor.

Did you include the gas that was already in your tank when you started the trip? That wouldn't be shown in your fuel receipts.

When I do a long hi-way run, i get somewhere between 28-32, depending on conditions. It is all about how well you set up hiway mode in the computer, and gearing.

We need to get to the race track. (and I need to pick up a new nitrous bottle). I **think** I might have a chance at getting to the finish before Rod.

I might be up for friday or saturday. If anything, the practice at launching will be good.

Well, I went 13.4 last year. With the heads, I picked up 25rwhp. So I'm hoping to be in the 13.2 range, or maybe even faster, if can get a 60' time, of better than my normal 2.25.

If Mike's too chicken to go, or finish his rear end and go, you should borrow his bottle. Just don't drop it! LOL

I need a truck and Trailer Embarassed

his bottle won't fit in my brackets. I also need to rejet the fuel side of the nitrous, since we changed the fuel pressure.

paul if you are for real on needing a trailer i can haul my six to the track on it thatway i can haul you home if you break. but i will need some gas money. that thing gets 10 MPG.

give me a call on my cell (971)6459359. i only get internet access at night right now, so checking this before we go to the track is iffy.
