I am impressed that an old fart like you can remember all of that stuff.... Your wife must be keeping a list.. If she is like mine she can also tell you where the parts came from and what you paid for them.... My memory is so bad that I am finding parts stashed here and there that I forgot about getting.

Hey we are not all senile. I write it down cause I can't remember what all I have done. I have a second list with the costs. It is well hidden.

You can always edit your profile. I have been through Lima few times.

I went back to just one washer as a spacer. Tend to forget I have done that mod. Same as the gas pedal spring.

Yea in less than 30 days I leave for basic training then we will no longer be in lima lol. And with a list of mods like that it's certainly understandable! lol Does 1 washer still make a difference?

My 3 year total gas milage results

My driving is 60-70% city short runs.

Mileage is 37,000 kms or 23,000 miles.

Results were 38 mpg Cdn or 31.6 US gal or 7.4 L/100 km

I never really tried to obtain great mileage or did not drive it hard. On occasion liked to just leave it in 3rd to hear the HKS.

Gas Cost - $3072 Cdn
