what motor and or trans setup will give me similar mpg to a d15
I was looking to get a d15z1/d15b7 as a daily driver but unsure the lack of power may frustrate me abit.
So is the a motor and or trans setup that is good that will give me similar mpg?
thanks

yea...you either want a little spunk in the motor, or you want mpg...its one or the other.
a buddy of mine has a 450k mile b7, yea its had 3 headgaskets but it still runs mint, and gets 36 mpg day in and day out. He swears by them. I have one myself in a older civic I dont drive much. Its slow and I dislike it, til it comes time to put gas in it, then I love it, :D
