I don't know if they helped but I'm sure. For some reason the longer I have my car the better the gas mileage I've gotten. I think the best so far was 37mpg the last tank or two. Before then was 32 mpg, and before that somewhere in the mid-twenties.

Just over 30,000 miles and still breaking in I guess..

^ Oh badass dude! What's it like there?

I'm sure there's gotta be a few places around there that still look the same from the 60's...

90and90 · 06-16-2008, 11:05 PM

damn didnt get my pulleys in today

um california is AMAZING and I am moving to socal next summer,

!!!

san fran area is too chilly for me, but the people and the scenery are amazing, I liked the feeling norcal gave me when I visited but I liked the weather in socal and the scenery

but yea, some people are def stuck in the 60's, theres got to be like 100 used clothing stores on haight, and like 5000 head shops...

back to the original topic

nst pulleys are cool!

nice nice. I average around 36. The best tank I got was 37.68. But I dont think my RPM's went over 2400 the whole tank, it was hard to drive that slow lol.

Why do you think that the headers caused your mpg to drop? U'd think it shouldnt affect it because it just frees up the exhaust system a little?

Stupid freaking crank pulley bolt!!!!!!

Helping 90and90 out today with his install, everything was going smoothly till we tried the crank, a freaking 400 ft/lb electric impact gun could even budge the bolt, we even dumped a bottle of penetrating lube with no luck.

Another tip, when removing the alt. pulley you can use the stock drive belt to hold it into place.

Show Stoppa FG1 · 06-22-2008, 05:02 PM

um i probably drive harder now, i do have defoulers. i average from what my scan guage tool says between 14-20mpg. driving regular

i did mine on 4 jack stands and 2 low profile jacks. me and 1 of my friends used a huge breaker bar and pull the shit outta it until we heard it pull loose, and then we tightened it until we got tired. have had mine now for about a month or 2 and its still running fine

yeaitsanLX · 06-30-2008, 12:52 AM

so the K070760 should be perfect right? where would i get one of those from? i wanna have everything set up and ready to go before my pulleys arrive

***07mugencivic*** · 06-30-2008, 12:53 AM

cool.

quiet3 · 07-19-2008, 01:52 PM

i took it to a shop right at the moment and they said the 070760 belt is too short by like 2 inches. wut do you guys think is wrong? did they not loosen up the tensor? im at work so i cant see it at the moment.

RCHamel3 · 08-05-2008, 01:12 PM

Does the r18 pulley kit affect mpg?

RCHamel3 · 08-14-2008, 01:20 PM

I just bought the pulley kit and Im wondering if the k070760 belt size is the correct one bc i see some people are saying its too short. Can anyone confirm this? Thanx

akronmusician413 · 09-05-2008, 11:10 PM

the pulleys shouldnt negavitely affect mpgs from my understanding and WHAT is the correct belt size if k070760 isnt it???

06civictx · 09-05-2008, 11:22 PM

yep k070760 is the correct size,might want to get that one instead of k060760 so that it could match up with the ribs...
