I've read several times that the magnet along with the "tornado" do not work.

fiberglass hoods are the most common things put on. Could get a cowl one to let heat out better.

If you don't use it, the AC could be removed to save weight. what kind of milage are you getting now?

you can get a fiberglas hood (I have one), deck lid, and so on and so forth.

i was thinking about a fiberglass hood and did some research on the specifics like metal bolt holders and support struts and all that. as a bonus the car is white and most fiberglass hoods sold are white, so painting is not an issue except i would like the shine to stay so i'll think about that some more.

so far as the magnet thing goes i did a bunch of research and found an epa report debunking it so bygones.

as for current mileage i dont know exact numbers, i forget to make a tally each time i fill up, but i fill up w/ about 8-11 gallons a week in a 12 gallon tank. i figure w/ the amt i drive i am getting close the the factory settings.

i will post the current mileage numbers soon.

sorry about reviving an old thread, but i have done some more research and clarified my objectives.

i want more life from the car and as an added bonus more mileage, i'd like to keep the car until at least 2007.

i calculated the mileage to 22 highway, 19.5 city, i figure i can probably get about 6-8 miles if i replace the cat--emissions test point to the stock cat dying--getting better headers, back cat system (basically the exhaust system) and a better air intake

a question about the air intake, i noticed that there is a cold air intake avail for the later model ponies any idea if i can alter it for use on my 88 lx 2.6 or even better if there is one avail for my car.

also given that the car is 16 yrs old i am starting to feel bumps in the rd, i like the steeda 3 tier suspension upgrade/fix kit, any input on those or similar products would be appreciated
