So you bought this to save on mpg's, then want to add weight from a sound system? I wouldn't do anything to it, but drive it myself. You have plenty of other toys to play around with. Why worry about this? Honestly why buy it to try and save on MPG's? You have like 10 cars! Kind of silly if you ask me, but whatever. Hopefully you didn't trade the focus on it for the hybird. That would be a real killjoy!

I'm just doing a basic SQ install....I'm working on keeping the weight to a minimum...I haven't decided on the sub setup for sure yet....

It is a hybird! I wouldn't mess with any type of custom stuff to it.

Also did you trade the FoFo in for it?

no i bought the Civic from way off...I'm gonna throw the ST in storage for a while....i use to use the ST for my fuel economy car grocery getter ...but the Civic will get nearly double....the fuel economy and be a smoother ride....it won't look as good or sound as good...but it'll serve its purpose...i still have my Saleen for my weekend car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...I considered driving the CRX more...but to many squeeks and rattles at 200,000 miles...though the air blows cold and its fun to drive also...but i still worry on long trips....

Meh, I still don't understand why you care about MPG's. You have so many rides and money coming out the wazoo anyway.

I would have just been happy with the ST and stuck with that as my daily commuter. I don't how you can stand to drive something like that, but meh, have fun with it, I guess.

Also, I don't care what you say, you do need to do something about those rims or hubcabs on that Civic. I never understand why Hybirds have the uglyiest rims ever!

I hope to have the factory wheels Chrome plated...being chrome might increase the mpg ...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif plus it will bring up the bling factor for the ladies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
