as for the the aeromods, probably not. I dont have a whole lot of time or money to devote to this car. maybe some small things like a radiator block, or some kind of lip. an undercar something would be nice from the noise perspective.

with lean burn, what should i be expecting to feel? where would i feel it, in something like pedal resistance?
You can peruse the thread in my signature for ideas. I have an '01 HX.

When lean burn engages it feels like the engine stumbles just a little and makes a little less power. When it disengages, there is a slight surge. It's very subtle, and likely you won't notice it until you get a gauge to verify when it happens.

The MPGuino will be most accurate, but I like the Ultragauge for the wide range of useful features at a very reasonable cost and easy install. I'm just aware of the fact that it is inaccurate under lean burn and don't put much faith in it if I use lean burn a lot. When I do use lean burn a lot, my mileage for the tank is higher than what is reported on the Ultragauge.
