wow, thanks for putting it so simply
And i think i'd take your oppinion anyday because for a while there i was a tuner mag junkie and always loved the full race stuff. I don't generally "like" hondas but, well, you know, you work there.

i dont have any instrumentation (gauge cluster doesn't even work), but just driving my three speed tercel to work today with that little tidbit in the back of my mind, i think i've "modded" my technique for the better.

thanks for the insight.
