Love your mods. The shifter mod and the brake booster especially. If you have connected your shifter-mounted kill switch leads using butt-splices as in some photos, note that the shifting action will, over time, break loose the splices. It happened to me (twice). It can be distressing. Better to solder the connections. If you don't solder, then secure the wire somehow so the connection point does not move so much as you shift.

Love the booster, too.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
