Lean burn Honda Civic sedan: 93 Civic d15z1 swap into LX 4 door (VLX)

I hate your 3 sets of vx wheels. Very jelous. You could just use a simple light wired into the vetch solenoid to tell you when it's engaged and thus in lean burn. You could also use a phone jack and plug that way simple swap from car to car. That's what I plan to do at least.

The wheels are out there just have to be patient. A while back there was a set about an hour from me for 100 bux!! The vtec idea is cool I never thought to use that. I have another thread where I graphed a voltmeter into where the clock would be that would be perfect for it. It wouldn't be a light though t would just read either 12v or 0

I am very jealous of your driveway and lean burn line up!

A light would be cheap and easy. Yeah I know the wheels are out there just seem to be a little to pricey or far or no shipping. I can get a set but it's a 4 hour each way drive. Price is right though. Why block the clock get one it's a great update for the car and they're pretty cheap. I'm pretty sure I read the multimeter thread. Have you lowered any if them or put sway bars on? My plans

I lowered the white hatch but I almost immediately regretted it. Used eBay springs with stock struts. They bottom out all the time and ruined the struts. I did see a mpg increase from it but if id do it again I'd use good stuff

I read up on many people blowing out there stock struts by doing this. When I lowered mine, read up on the proper strut / spring combo and I replaced mine with Tein S springs and Koni Struts. Lifetime warrenty on the struts and Koni's North America headquarters is in Hebron Kentucky, about 15 minutes from my house! So chooising Koni was pretty simple for me.

Cool. What lowering springs did you use with them and how do they ride?

Napa block heater is ordered. Same part number as tomo used. It's 400 watt. I still have to order the timer yet that's about 25 bux. I plan to set it to come on 2 hours before I leave for work and 2 hours before I leave to come home
