I got a 92 DX - do you need a transmission / ECU / harness etc?

Recent trip I was getting about 440 miles on a tank of gas, thats like 44mpg - good enough for yah?

They'd be bonuses. won't be running anytime soon, so I would have time to get stuff together.

edit: And shipping's gonna be killer from NY to TX.

If you want MPG, look no further dan D15Z (?) VX engine. I got 53.x mpg on the freeway from a trip from ATL, GA to Columbus, OH. However, VX tranny has gearing that's way too tall for city driving.

IMO, the best MPG engine/tranny setup would be: VX engine w/ ECU + Si tranny w/ VX 5th gear. Best of both worlds...
