Big UP to my dx tranny!
So I went the cheap way and left my trashy dx tranny in my car when I did my swap. I was told that it would sacrifice performance for better fuel mileage, and boy were they right! I just got a new job and I now commute about 30 miles one way, and my last tank of gas was 37.3 Miles per gallon! I couldn't believe it, and redid the math like ten times making sure I was right. Sure enough, that low rpm final drive works like a charm!!
(I'm just trying to console myself, and I still wish that I had an Si tranny, by the way...)

Hey man, these are some serious custom tires that I had specially made, they give me about 75 hp and increase my quarter mile to 9.8!

I got 32 - 33 mpg when I first started commuting to heald, but I have lost 2 mpg ever since I started carpooling, and it got really bad after my road trip to colorado for some reason. I did a tune up and the mileage is getting a little better, but im still lucky if I go past 30 mpg.
