Undertray and wheel covers are distant future considerations right now. The nut behind the wheel is probably close to as adjusted as it will get but the ScanGauge will keep us striving. I'm not too concerned about the grill block at present since it is winter, it takes a looong time to warm up still and only really kicks out the heat when we are going up steep hills which are measurably short and returns to barely keeping the interior windows clear all the rest of the time.

Thanks for the suggestions. Do you know where I can find what temperatures 1998 Hondas (specifically Odyssey) would have thermostat open, fan 1 and fan 2 kick on? That would help guarantee we aren't overheating it right?
