Agreed. Esp if you also have a throttle position readout to provide some redundant data backing up "foot position."
I like the strategy for mounting the air dam. Pretty clever. I will say though that your airdam is going to scrape at the height you set it. Mine was originally about as low as yours and it scraped, and I also drive a 1998 Civic DX. Eventually I shortened it because it became a pain over time. You'll know... keep an eye on it.
BTW, the VX and HX vtec-e enginss are great but you can hypermile these DXs really well and with some mods, including a VX trnasmission swap, you can give the VX a run for its money. Some hypermiling techniques make lean burn on the VX and HX moot. For example, pulse and glide and EOC are some of the absolute best MPG techniques and each of them complicates or inhibits the vehicle getting into lean burn.
And, you don't need the more expensive O2 sensors VX and HX cars all eventually require.
The DX is a great base for modding and hyprmiling.
What's next for your car?
Enjoy.
