I'll second the suggestion to get instrumentation -- it makes a huge difference in adjusting the nut behind the wheel. The kill switch is a good idea too.

Welcome to the forum!
Yeah it sure does. I bought a house in 2012, 10 miles from where i work, and before that I could ride my bike from spring til it snowed, and the truck sat anyways.

I had an ultra gauge in the truck and still could average 19-20 on the highway driving nice. But overall I'd see about 15-16 miles per gallon, and with the car averaging 45, thats 3 times the mileage, So I save quite a lot.

When I took the truck to get my car, It was a 3 hour drive there and 3 hours back towing the car on the dolly, I still averaged 16.5 with the truck.



I'm trying to plan out any modifications I do to be easily removed and installed on another vehicle, I really like Civics and I'll definitely buy another one in the future.
