Edit: Just found your sale thread again, which I had previously posted in too. So I'm asking in past-tense now, heh.

I think your build is an awesome idea and I'd love to do the HX engine + VX transmission swap in my own 98 Civic hatchback one day.

I was curious what levels of ethanol were in the gas that you used... I've heard rumors that even just the 10-15% that is commonly mixed in these days can make lean burn much harder to achieve. Did you ever encounter this problem?
