Hey Im New Here I drive A black 1997 240x se
All i have done to it is... Ngk iridium plugs gapped carefully to .o44 lol
Ngk wires
K&n drop in filter
3inch nismo exhaust from a r32 cut up to fit my s14 and welded a 2002 stock eclipse muffler to it,just to keep it silent and couldnt really find a nice nissan oem muffler at the time and didnt want a big shiny canister on the back because when i did i got reved up on every day,Kinda got annoying after few years lol....
everything else is bone stock
ive changed pcv valve,fuel filter,and put water wetter in the radiator
car burns oil some times and has 180,000 miles lol

My gas mileage is pretty good i think for a ka,i get 434 miles till the gas light comes on,and thats with a/c on all the time and with mostly city and some freeway and when the gas light comes on i fill it up and it takes around 15.2 to 15.5 gallons each time i fill up.
I try and keep shifts around 2500 and 3000 and high way i stay around 65 mph and absolutly no racing


What are you guys getting gas wise in your ka24de? If there is anyone left with ka's lol

I get 26 highway and 21.5 city when I'm moderate on the gas. Everything is bone stock.

Although I start sputtering around 200-220 miles and can only get 11-11.5 gallons from the tank. Gotta figure out what's up with that lol.

i would just put gas in mine and it never used enuff gas to put my currency at risk of not being able to buy condoms and beer on the weekends so i guess it was pretty good IMO.
