What's your target temp for your warm air intake on FWT?

It's an automatic.
I haven't adjusted mine, but the 2000 Accord speedometer reads ~10% higher than the GPS. I've been at the GPS speed going through speed traps and had no problem

Got my SG this weekend and it matches GPS. Speedo reads high in comparison. Difference between actual ( SG & GPS) is proportional to speed and is consistent so I think it's just the nature of the mechanism. I'll be changing tires in the next few weeks so I'll measure odometer offset after that change rather than measuring it twice.

I'm really considering going to buy a GPS and return it after a day so I can set my car in, but... I really dont wanna be that guy. haha.
But people just don't own accurate GPS units anymore like the mid 2000's, not with inaccurate smart phones so prevalent these days so it is hard to find one just to borrow from a friend or the sort. But With 175/70/13's on I was spinning 2960 rpm @ 70 just like what I got in my calculations on what the drivetrain should spin at that speed. So it seems accurate in the obd2 rpm signal but the gauges always have that steady margin of error like you stated.

I've checked my Samsung Galaxy S5 against the $$$ gps speedo on several boats. It also matches my Garmins. Only thing I think you should be concerned with as far as GPS accuracy is terrain. They're best on level ground.

Sorry I missed this query. I like 130s and 140s. I set the ultrafauge alarm for 150+ ... not that there is anything "emergency" about that number, but I like to know when it is climbing like that. It is rare, but it does happen.

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.
