I have my kill switch in series with the wire that turns on the main relay. I thought it was the best option on a Honda as it shuts down the ECU in "kill" mode. I use it when coasting in neutral. I was previously just using the key, but I lost accessories like turn signals when I did that. And I was getting concerned about excessive wear on the ignition switch.

I forgot to mention that I'm running 185/65-14" front tires and original size 175/70-13" rear tires. According to those "your speed" radar signs, the oversized front tires have corrected the speedometer. With the correct front tire diameter, I was seeing 30 MPH on those signs and 32 MPH on the speedometer. Now the numbers match with the taller tires. What does that say about the old 38 MPG on smaller tires? I think it means it was actualy less than 38 MPG?

I'm glad the old Honda Accord hubcaps are secured by the lugnuts, I have 13" caps on the 14" wheels.
