Email Post Number: 4661 Registered: Nov-05 | actually my subaru gets bad mileage.. 18.6mpg average according to the display in my car the crx would be to compete in spl and be a daily to drive to work to save me some gas money.. and no limit.. take another look at the muffler on that car, it don't look like its going to be loud.. in fast i could make a bet my subaru is louder than that crx if with a different muffler im going to look at it tomorrow morning and check it out.. i can't find any CRX for under 2000 that are in good running condition.. lots of shells but after you do a motor swap into a shell you might as well just bought a running car |
