    Thanks Metro!

    Currently a 'ghetto' setup but it works. Yes, that is a FRAM filter. Brother gave it to me since he had one sitting around and the same goes for the pipe and couplers. I haven't really stepped on it. I can't tell the difference other than the intake being much louder. It feels like there is more 'power' in the mid-range but I haven't taken it for a ride around town to really feel the 'difference'. Other than that, its a neat mode. I'll probably end up getting a smaller K&N filter to replace the odd looking FRAM filter. Thanks again Daox!

    Brother let me use his 13" Honda Civic VX wheels. Tires have about 2,000 or so miles on it. But, it has been sitting through winter. Feels like it will need to be rebalanced. Overall, it feels light! Lighter than the snow tires I had on. Pretty happy to see what I get with it. Tires on it are 175-70-13. Kinda tall. You can feel the car 'wiggle' a bit when bigger vehicles pass you. Haven't driven it much to really get a feel of it.

    Here's a quick overall weight of the the 13" vs 14" wheel/tire comparison.

    WHEEL WEIGHT

    Honda Civic VX 13” Aluminum Wheel
    - 9 lbs per wheel. No Tires.
    - 13x5

    Factory Steel Mirage 14”
    - 14 lbs bare steelie

    ==========================================

    TIRE WEIGHT

    165 65 14 Enasave - 1 tire weight = 13 pounds
    175 70 13 Champiro VP1 - 1 tire weight = 14.4 pounds

    175 70 13 w/ VX 13” wheel - 23.2lbs
    http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...ll=1#post53913

    155 80 13 w/ VX 13” wheels - “under 23 pounds each with Kumho…)
    http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...ull=1#post6552

    165 65 14 w/Mirage steelies - 26-27 lbs
    26 lbs
    http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...ull=1#post4780

    http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...ull=1#post6539


    =========================================
    My setup

    total weight 23.4 to 24 pounds

    What's your change in diameter?

    Also are those VX tires LRR?

    You could do a low speed coastdown comparison if you really want to know which one rolls better. I've done it before. (I'm a nerd.)

    I put Enasaves on the front of my crappy Miata last summer after comparing to the stock tires. Big difference in RR, plus the Enasaves are narrower, which is better for aero. (Yes, I'm going for lowest cruising MPG with the Miata.)
