Thanks for the name fix and the greeting Daox. I can't say I'm a complete novice at the FE game. I tend to drive with as little throttle movment as possible and keep brake use to a minimum. I like to conserve momentum. As for mods, this morning I lightened the load by 92.3 pounds and maxed the air pressure on the tires. The tires are old so I'm not going to over inflate them. Future plans include saving up for a scangeuge,tuneup,new tires,more lightening and possibly lowering and a side mirror delete. The nut behind the wheel still needs some adjustment and lightening too! Last note, do you know if the 2002 1.7L civic responds to hot air intakes well? Thanks,Cam.
