Actually, I think this is another reason for this forum's decline: there are SO MANY more efficient vehicles to choose from that didn't exist 10 years ago. Some previously hardcore ICE-modding members have moved on to efficient EV's & PHEV's and don't feel the need to mod them for even greater efficiency.

EG: Neil Blanchard, Mike Kamm come to mind.

Also, all those EV's & PHEV's have their own dedicated owners groups/forums.
