I found a different route that lets me bypass that particular area with a lot of stop signs, so that should save a bit.
I removed the air tube to make a WAI, I didn't even need to hammer out the tube after cutting the tabs out (thanks for pointing them out). Haven't gone more than a few miles per trip since then, so I don't know how hot it really gets. The intake is noticeably louder at low rpms and moderate throttle, I kinda like it.
Are you sure the HX has different ratios? I've seen some things saying that, but it seems like most said they're the same as the DX. Could someone with an HX post their RPMs at a given speed in 5th gear?
For some reason my Ultragauge is giving me an average reading that is way too optimistic. I'll have to check if the gallons and miles readings are correct. Should I calibrate it with a highway tank or use several tanks of my typical driving? I think I'll calibrate it with a highway tank so I can at least get an accurate instant number at steady speeds.
I gassed up yesterday, $3.77 a gallon! This weekend is probably going to involve long hours at the hardware store and with my car. Anyone happen to know where to get coroplast/abs sheets in the Monterey/Salinas area of California?
