This is what was his wife's car and he is not deconstructing it. Never enough things to mess with at the McElwee house!!!

I'm pretty psyched about it because I have not really spent much time working on the car. It would seem that I could possibly get to 40 MPG now instead of the 35 that I had for a goal. So far the only mods I have done are removing the SC (intake is just a PVC coming 90 degrees out of the manifold with an FM purchased K&N filter), pumping the tires up to 50 PSI, and dropping the Master Fuel from 100 to 90 (RC 440s). Of course, I have changed my driving habits quite a bit. as i remember, i was getting ~28 with a 95 jrsc, k&r, top up. you also have - 400 lb's right? are you a lead foot normally? i am also concerned with 50 lb in the tyres, (fear and loathing in miata-land :) imho peter -- Medio tutissmus ibis You will go most safely by the middle course
