Thanks for the tips. Where can I find the values to make the "LBN" X Gauge? And what will I be looking at on the display? Or is it just an A/F gauge? What are the parameters for lean burn engaging?

Also, I didn't see anything in your build thread about how to wire the IMA inhibit switch, sounds like an excellent idea. There's been a few times when I saw the charging display light up while cruising, and I'm thinking "but there's a hill up ahead"...

As far as mods go, I don't really plan on much. I want to focus more on technique to maximize FE. I might look into a partial grill block and WAI for the winter. And as for the wheels, this may be somewhat blasphemous, but I plan to get bigger wheels and tires to improve handling and road feel. I really like a car with good reflexes, and 70 series tires are not ideal in that respect. I'm willing to take the hit that slightly wider tires and heavier wheels will produce.
