Well, it’s been a month, so it’s time to post my 2nd update. Since my last post, I have sold my accord and insured my civic and have been daily driving it for the last 9 days. It’s boring, and slow, but CHEAP!
I recently acquired a Scangauge II from a guy out in Montreal and had it shipped to me, total price was $133 ($99.64USD). Unfortunately, the OBDII port on my car is finicky, and when I go over little bumps it can occasionally lose power, which drives me mental. So for now, no scangauge.
As of just two hours ago I bought a new set of lightweight wheels and tires off of Facebook Marketplace for $250 ($187.29USD). They are 4x100 R81 Imola (Mini Cooper) wheels, which may sound boring, but they’re 11.9lbs each. The rubber that was included on the wheels is 175/65/R15 Goodyear Assurance All Seasons, and although they aren’t low rolling resistance, they're in great shape, and they’ll do the job in the crappy Vancouver rain.
Probably won’t have too much to say in the coming months, I’ll add my fuel-ups as I go. Don’t expect much right now for gas mileage, most of my driving is in the city, and I’ve got my heavy winter tires and steelies on in preparation for the snow.
