It was a good thing I washed my car yesterday.....because it rained today.....
I got a "portable" lift in my garage. I need pick up the ramps so I don't have to build my own. I am so glad that next time I don't have to spend half the time getting the car off and back on the ground.
Also I need to do some motor mounts, I feel the motor move with shifting. Just got some belt noise also when I started it yesterday.

Are you out to prove me wrong? you do bring up a valid point though...im kinda the unrelated guy...
Im probably gonna purchase a set of H1s with the translucent mini graphite shroud. Seems unique and I wanted to go for something that might stand out. I need to actually save $$$ to get a cargo cover and eventually tints though. Sick of the fishbowl effect after stepping out of my dads car. The dealership threw on some 15/35s on his lease... (I think that's the right specs... Idk. )

Ok, help time... my fuel mileage is taking a s*** on me.
Could it be:
-O2 sensor(s) starting to fail? I'm getting a voltage reading that peaks around .8V on what I think is the upstream sensor, but drops down to .1V regularly. It doesn't hold at either. What I think is the downstream sensor seems to hold pretty steady at .7V, but occasionally dips down to .1V. I monitor it on the Torque App.
-A crappy winter fuel blend from the gas station mixed with frigid temps? I haven't really had a problem until the past month or so since the temps have been dropping.
-Catalytic converter getting clogged? There is no hesitation when accelerating from a stop, but when giving her some gas on the highway, she hesitates for a split second after she downshifts into 3rd gear.
There are no idle issues, but seems to make a little bump noise on cold startups. Nothing that sounds wrong, just a bigger burst of fuel maybe? I don't smell any fuel that would lead me to believe there is a leak anywhere (had that problem with my old Protege), but I do think she's burning a little rich due to the soot on the exhaust. Lack of sensors at to the OBDII port don't allow me to monitor fuel flow or pressure or A/F ratios (as I'm sure many of you know).
I'm baffled now... HELP!?!?!?
