Your car is modified about as much as mine. "Moderately modified" seems right to me, too. Radical mods would be big changes to engine function and/or body shape. We have done neither of those things--just tinkered with timing, a camshaft, the alternator, and wheel wells... you know "moderate," lol.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
