-Concerned that the D16z6 may be burning oil. Uncertain at this point, but some oil consumption may be present. |

-At 11/215 mi:
--Replaced fuel filter with a new Honda one
--Replaced air filter with K&N drop in one
--Replaced all 4 FITV seals
--Replaced throttle body gasket (Honda brand)
--Removed oil catch can to trouble shoot high idle issue
--Tire pressure: F=30 psi, R=32.5 psi
-Lots of excessive idling spent trouble shooting high idle issue.
-High idle still present. Discovered FITV is leaking when car warmed up. Replaced all 4 fitv seals and throttle body seals and high idle still present. High idle is probable cause for poor mileage. I did floor it a few times, but I should still be at the 32-ish range (based on my B18C crx). |

--Spark plugs replaced with OEM Honda/NGK ones
--1/2 can seafoam (8oz) in gas tank
--1/2 can seafoam (8oz) in intake manifold
Seafoaming the intake manifold seamed to create some type of slightly high idle issue, or expose a vacuum leak. When coasting on highway and push clutch rpms only dropped to 1250rpms. WHen come to a stop rpms drop to about 900-1000rpm. |

-70/30 hwy/city, or maybe even 60/40 hwy/city.
-All 4 wheels out of alignment for 207/293 miles (4-wheel alignment done. Front toe still seems a little off. Going to have this double checked)
-At 207/293 mi, front radius rod bushings replaced with polyurethane units, rear spring rate increased from 250 lb/in to 350 lb/in, front sway bar changed back from 17.3mm HF bar to original 18mm one.
-At 277/293 mi, replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter with the [good, used] ones from my CRX Si. The fuel pump I had previously installed was from an '89 Civic sedan. The pump pickup point (sock filter) is significantly different than that of the 90-91 CRX and my car would starve for fuel under hard left turns at about 1/3 to 1/4 tank of fuel remaining. Also seemed to take longer to start at 1/3-1/4 tank of fuel left. Also found a fine silt-like sediment all over the '89 fuel pump sock filter (reason for adding StaBil)The pump itself could've been going bad. Maybe that's the reason for the high miles, not a lot of fuel at fill up? With the new pump, everything seems normal (normal being how my Si was).
-277/293 mi: Oil catch can installed between PCV system.
-277/293 mi: Tire pressure set to 34 psi front/rear (previously higher and non-uniform pressure in each tire)
-8oz of StaBil added to this tank
-Clutch and tires finally broken in (500mi of normal/ stop and go driving) |

-TONS of excessive idling while troubleshooting A/C leak and setting timing.
-Car out of alignment for 99% of this tank. Front toe was aligned, rear unable to be aligned (need to fix).
-New clutch still being broken in, so not using my normal driving style. |
