Thanks. It is kinda like an art project. It takes a lot of time to work found materials into workable things. I learn about materials and processes, I think, sometimes...

Still that ain't nothing! This is not a cost effective mod at all. I just don't want an AC (weight & parasitic losses), so I am willing to try some odd stuff.

Hey, I am still hunting for someone(s) who will take and send me pictures of the headcodes stamped on the front of their 6th Gen Civic HX... you willing to help out a guy? My thanks if you can (and if you can't, it's cool).

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.
