Oh man! The stock airbox really smoothed out the idle. Can't wait to see the effect on MPG

Woot Woot!! Finally found the relay for the fuel injectors (don't laugh - It's pretty well hidden  ) and hooked up a switch to cut ground. Gotta say, it's gonna be so more awesome than using the key. I'll finish up the install tomorrow, but for now it functions! |

62.xx mpg last tank. Meh. Same old same old in this car. Anyone ever get bored with their eco-mod ride after a few years? I've been driving this same car since 2001. Been modding it since 2011. I like it, but I do get bored, and lately a little distracted. Neighbor got a shinny Tesla Model S. And I'm seeing those BMW electrics around.
Gotta slap myself with reminders of deprecation, car loan payments, insurance payments, registration renewals... I would lose tens of thousands in just three years' time!

Well, I never got the mount built, so I kept tradition and used black tape to tape it to the gear shifter. You know, for the time being.  |

Hmm, so according to lexunexis, TN doesn't require mirrors of any sort on a car  |

I'm baaaaaack....
Good news! I just re-joined Team Honda with the Firefly's winter stunt double.
Bad news! I just lowered the team average. 
Good news! I think I have the best MPG of this generation Civic (non-hybrid) in the EM garage!
Bad news! It's going to be very tough to improve my MPG at this time of year.
