Happy I am!

I can say that I am absolutely thrilled to update this thread!

To start off, I just filled up a couple hours ago and found out that I had achieved a new personal best of 45.11 mpg for the previous tank!

It brought my 90 day average up quite a bit as well. I saw that I am #12 on the percentage over list, and 64th on the top overall mpg list. I am really hoping to crack into the Top 10 & 50 respectively very soon!

I also had these beauties come in the mail



Brighter than stock, reduced electrical load AND better for the environment. Winning!

I'm toying with ideas about constructing a rear spoiler to lower my Cd... for now! Stay tuned for developments.

I have an underdrive crank pulley coming in in a few weeks, and I'll be putting it on along with deleting my a/c & p/s, installing new struts and hopefully lowering the ZX2 by 2". I may play with intake cam timing as well... need moar low-end torquez.

The only thing bad during all this is my duct tape holding the rear wheel skirts on is ripping on one side. Easy fix though - better duct tape
