today I put a spark plug non fouler kit on certain downstream location on my car. So far it has seemed to stop a certain p0420 from showing up, but on the other hand it has changed my voltage reading on my downstream location. my question is for those who monitor reading with digital instrumentation, When in lean burn do you get a 0.000 reading on the downstream o2 sensor or some other number?
I was getting 0.000 prior to mod. now I get 1.555.

Got the same leaky tire fixed again. This time, they pulled the cut-off end of a drywall screw out and plugged it. Hopefully that holds until my new set of RE92s comes in that I ordered today.

Oklahoma has the most debris-laden roads and intersections of anywhere I've been. A road hazard warranty might actually be useful.

Finally changed the dang wiper blades! They were old and worn out. I don't know what the previous owner had on there, but they are the cheapest little things. I put some nicer and longer blades on there.

I also recently picked up an old analog voltage gauge. Something like this front one, but much cleaner and nicer: http://i.imgur.com/kPUaKGq.jpg

I'm gonna turn it into an A/F meter. An op-amp should do the trick nicely to read the O2 sensor and drive the gauge.

The tailgate trim (the little spoiler) was flimsy from the day I bought my insight ... now a little more than 3 years ago. At that time I tried to fix it with a "hot glue gun" on a couple of occasions. It stayed in place for a while and started to rattle again soon after that.

today I finally took it of completely. The end tabs were broken off , bolts were missing. the two internal tabs were broken off too. The pieces of plastic were there: securely fastened to the tail gate and completely torn off from the spoiler. The spoiler piece was held in place by a center bolt and the wires for the third stop light.

I put some silicone paste on the rear window edge and on the inner edge of the spoiler also put some around the center bolt.

will see how long this will hold and eventually will go to majestic for a new spoiler piece....

I am trying to remember: Would you have to take off the wiper motor to get to the right hand side bolt for this job? (If the tabs are intact.)

That's probably my favorite mod so far.
