Those lifters and that valve cover were worse than mine. Nice clean-up. I only did the inside of the valve cover too. Definitely secure that battery! But it's a fun car to mod and work on. Like the injector switch location too. That's one of the ideal spots.

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.

Replaced my o2 with a brand new one and got new cap and rotor on and it's running better.

I also hooked up a alt kill switch but as I was playing with it cruising on flat highway turning the alt off would make the mpguino read about 4 mpg LOWER don't really understand why that would be. Anyone have an idea?

Shined the car up and had my bro take some nice pics

Stupid image stack photo links all died.. oh well

I haven't been as into hypermiling after my mpguino died and then I switched jobs so I don't drive a lot anymore but I still have the hypermile bug

About a year ago or so I found a vx swap but it's a cali so I need the 49 state ecu.

I recently ordered a new mpguino from my buddy Meelis.

And I also have 3 Insight Bridgestone potenza re92 now 😆

Today I finally started work on making rear wheel well cover for the other side but I just realized I started making it the same so it's backwards oh well
