Wow

2021-01-23 01:39:46 UTC  

I haven’t seen many CT Hypercars out in the wild for a long time. There’s apparently an Appolo IE here, that’d be epic to see on the road

2021-01-23 01:40:41 UTC  

But ofc winter happens and the toys go bye bye

2021-01-23 01:44:48 UTC  

Poggers I’m taking an automotive tech class next year

2021-01-23 01:48:58 UTC  

Pogs

Wow 😳

2021-01-23 02:03:48 UTC  

I just wish I saw more Ford rangers <:SadPepe:801485397678489660>

2021-01-23 02:24:30 UTC  

Yea

2021-01-23 03:39:49 UTC  

Mopar no Car

2021-01-23 04:54:30 UTC  

Hey, I have one of those

2021-01-23 05:12:30 UTC  

Now you're just making me feel bad...

2021-01-23 05:43:26 UTC  

I hope I can improve my gas mileage soon... If not it will make my parting with my car even more imminent...

2021-01-23 05:44:33 UTC  

Ease off the throttle, keep your ignition system in good working order, look after tire pressures, pretty much all you can really do

2021-01-23 05:44:44 UTC  

Oh, and glide whenever you can

2021-01-23 05:47:12 UTC  

It's over 33 years old now and is on it's last legs. No one in my family really likes it but me and even I have a hard time properly caring for it.

2021-01-23 05:48:04 UTC  

It might be better off being cherished by someone who can do it better than I can...

2021-01-23 05:48:12 UTC  

What even is it?

2021-01-23 05:50:38 UTC  

A 1987 Acura Integra LS four door hatchback with the "Brown Top" twin cam engine.

2021-01-23 05:50:55 UTC  

Ah

2021-01-23 05:51:26 UTC  

It's light sky blue.

2021-01-23 05:52:37 UTC  

If I can't get it back up to 25 MPG average, I don't know where to go.

2021-01-23 05:53:08 UTC  

Now it's barely getting 20-21 MPG.

2021-01-23 05:53:11 UTC  

Doubt you're gonna do that. If its that old, the engine is getting loose and it's a little down on power

2021-01-23 05:53:16 UTC  

That's not even bad gas mileage

2021-01-23 05:54:30 UTC  

For a 1.6 liter I4 with a fuel injector it's not very good...

2021-01-23 05:54:51 UTC  

It's an 87

2021-01-23 05:55:44 UTC  

Fuel injection back in those days was very primitive and rudimentary, not to mention the cars were heavily restricted with equally archaic emissions controls

2021-01-23 05:56:14 UTC  

It used to get 25 MPG in 2019, but since then it's been drastically going down...

2021-01-23 05:57:03 UTC  

Maybe it's how I'm driving and how often I do it?

2021-01-23 05:57:29 UTC  

I know the slush box doesn't help.

2021-01-23 05:58:01 UTC  

Honestly sounds like the engine is just aging and getting wear ad tear as it goes along

2021-01-23 05:59:17 UTC  

Is there anything I can do to keep it in one piece and improve the performance back to how it was? Or is it not worth it...?

2021-01-23 06:01:19 UTC  

Getting a new engine

2021-01-23 06:01:32 UTC  

They all develop wear and lose mpg overtime

2021-01-23 06:02:19 UTC  

A new engine?

2021-01-23 06:02:25 UTC  

How?

2021-01-23 06:05:02 UTC  

What engine?

2021-01-23 06:05:40 UTC  

What will even fit?

2021-01-23 06:13:25 UTC  

Talked to another friend, he said to do some basic work on somethings that will help. Oil and fluid changes, air filter, spark plugs, and that kind of thing.

2021-01-23 22:03:36 UTC  

Very old header
