I've never had an issue with the one click on any other car. I may have to go to 2 clicks. I didn't think filling it up that far was good for the evap system (though I know Darin does it all the time).

I know people probably don't look at garage entries all that often, but I do keep mine updated pretty well with current mods with links, and planned mods. I like it that way and I like it when others do it too. Some others have awesomely detailed garage pages. California98Civic's Civic comes to mind.

Current mods are:
Tires at 50 psi
Kill switch
5W-30 synthetic engine oil
Synchromesh gear oil
Grill block

Planned mods:
Block heater
Air dam


I do have a 1000W kats circulating heater kicking around. I plan on installing it in the Metro at some point in the not too distant future. This thing should warm up the Metro in about a half hour. I plan to put it on a remote so I can preheat anytime for any trip. Even 15 minutes should give me a pretty good warm up per Darin's block heater testing.



The air dam would be nice to add, I'm not sure when I'll get to it though. Its hard to find lawn edging in the middle of winter.

I also will eventually need to go back and make the grill block nicer as I'm sure it'll fall apart at some point being just cardboard. I also have some plans to nicen up the kill switch install too. You guys will like this, but I'm not far enough along with it yet.
