    It is true (for the most part) that lowering the car will increase your MPG.......That being said, there are many things you could do that are easier, lol........

    Since late Thursday, pulled the fuel injectors off Boopstiva, and cleaned some of the crud out of her gas tank.



    Some of the crud in a box. Injectors are soaking, planning on blowing them out Monday. Fingers crossed she starts afterwards...

    Installed a white face Instrument Cluster sam.1956 hooked me up with at NCStiva. Looks cool. Did I mention it has a TACH?! Put that bad boy in baby car!

    Booyah, baby!

    Sam, you can't break 80???

    Aerodynamics= Me a dummy. I would think that lessening the gap between the bottom of the car and the road would improve things.

    A Festiva has the aerodynamics of a red brick.

    (Hyperbole is the best thing EVERRRR!)
    It's got a pretty standard cD and small A, so while it needs improvement, it's not overall terrible.

    I looked at it sadly in the driveway as I packaged up my new pistons to be sent to swaintech... I wish it wasn't running on 3 1/2 cylinders and puking oil out of the catch can big things in store though.

    Drove my parts-shed '93. Been sitting a year. Sputtered every once and awhile and has a stuck caliper. Waiting on historic tag eligibility 1/13.
