This car has a simple disign. Full body on frame. 1 air bag. 4 door sedan. Live rear axle. Vertical inline 4 cylinder. 4 speed automatic or 5 speed manual. Points, distributor cap, coil, and rotor.
Now does the car have a carburetor? Does it have emmissions controls? It's a 2.3 Liter 4 cylinder that has the cooling fan attached to the crank shaft harmonic balancer via a cooling fan thermo/mechanical clutch.
It's actually not that heavy a car. BUT it's got plenty of torque for a 4 banger. And the car is box shaped and extreamly safe.
PLEASE tell me now, why is it the car only gets 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway? 19mpg overall. That is pittifull!
Is there any way to boost gas mileage? Can you install a modified crank shaft to increase compression? How about a Turbo-Charger? How about CDI Ignition? How about replacing/swapping an automatic transmission for a manual, could that be done? Larger intake? Larger exhaust? HOW???
