I had a '85 CRX "HF" and it did get 50mpg, more or less. It was a great little car (it's a Honda!) and even had great climate control. Slow going up a long hill though.
There is one avail right now but he wants way too much for it. And they have a VERY complex carburetor with 3 barrels (one feeds the CVCC chamber). Not even sure you can get one now, and if you could tear down the space shuttle you MIGHT be able to rebuild one. Because of that carburetter issue, I would avoid that car. On mine I replaced the CVCC carb with a Holley off a chevy 6cylinder that fed all barrels equally. MPG dropped to normal economy car range, but it was a cheap fix. Maybe 2 megasquirt systems would work though? Or one with two injectors feeding both the CVCC chamber circuit with rich and the main with lean? LOL I really just need to spend $800 or less and get a turn key econobox that gets 40+ mpg. I diesel Miata is not outta the question but the VW 1.6 turbo diesel engine doesn't fit easily enough and there are no other good alternatives that I know about. Hell an LS1 will get me over 30 MPG highway so why wouldn't a smaller, similarly efficient Chevy V6 get me 40? Power and economy... But which one. -----Original Message----- From: derf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 5:01 PM To: Robert McElwee Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Negative Power Content: Market for 1.3 retrofit kit Just get a Festiva and drive it. You can probably find a running car for less than the time and hassle to transplant anything. Better yet, find a Honda CRX. If you really want mileage get a VW Rabbit diesel and run 50/50 vegetable oil _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
