I may also need some troubleshooting help, my gas mileage is attrocious, a mere 15-18 mpg, any ideas?? I don't have a job yet for the summer and beyond, so this trip is definately do-able.
And Stevebsy, I've been wanting to meet you as well, that is a fine looking bumper you have cranked out down there over the border. Any plans for a featherweight hood? or rear bumber cover?
anyway, back to subject at hand, yeah, any of you guys heading down from IN/IL/OH/KY/TN want to meet up, I'm in.
You're welcome to caravan down with me, I hope to leave Friday morning, as I was thinking about getting in on the white water rafting....
Crash from Louisville followed me down for one meet....

As for you poor mileage, most likely culpret is the O2 sensors....not cheap....but not that high either as far as SVX stuff goes.
