New guy with a 94 SSEi
Hi all!
Been reading this forum and am impressed with the knowledge here.
I just picked up a super clean 94 SSEi with 150,000 miles.
First thing I did was change oil, and all fluids, air cleaner and wipers.
This car has been highly maintained with a ton of receipts. There has never been a major repair on drive train.
This car has also not been wrecked.
Everything is stock and the only 2 items not working are the radio controls on the steering wheel and the power antenna does not go up and down.
It is black with a tan leather interior.
This car is a blast to drive! I want to go step by step and tune it up. With each tune up I want to increase performance. With that said, I should have a ton of questions.
Next month'* projects include having the antenna fixed, the fuel filter replaced, the fuel system checked for proper PSI, and the SC oil changed. I also have a pulley chirp that goes away after the engine heats up or is under load. Possibly a tensioner.
I am wondering, if performance increases does gas mileage decrease? I am currently averaging 22 mpg. I would like to see that climb if possible after tunes. This is a daily driver that sees about 350 miles per week.
Thanks, Rich

Hey man! Like everyone said, welcome to the club! Feel free to come in and make yourself at home. We don't bite.... hard.... 
Not at all. In fact, you can actually do a lot of mods that will HELP fuel economy, like intake, porting and exhaust work.
