and my answer is still the same, your gas mileage will barely be affected ..I dont know how cute emotions will make your post sound anymore serious but heres a couple i've picked out for you

Actually, when someone says THEY WANT TO SHOOT RICE OUT OF THE BACK OF THEIR CAR most would take it as a joke.

I appreciate you answering the question, that's why I'm here, sorry for trying to have a sense of humour. You can resume your frowning now.

i have no sense of humour? you really have no clue, we just get sick of stupid questions all the time. we all work and try the best we can to help out people and thier civics but if you ask stupid questions you get stupid answers. im still giggling at the fact i have no sense of humour. anyone?

for real, if gas is a concern leave it stock, you can sink a ton of cash into that car and it wont feel much faster and your gas milage will decrease. those engines dont make alot of power, even built ones. i speak from experience.

now,try getting to know us on the board then when you post stupid sh*t its just funny cause we know you. good luck with your endevour.

thanks for answering my question. I would be able to live with maybe a 10 to15 % extra fuel cost but if it's really not worthwhile oh well.

I just love the car so much and enjoy working on it. And like how a lot of the bolt on stuff looks, like an intake. I guess I'll just continue to be Mr - more - than - regular - maintenance - man.

I don't know why you are asking because it seems like you already know what you want, and how you want it, so I will just say go for it.

You won't lose much or any gas because your ECU is still throwing out the same fuel regulations.
