    140 miles into the mission profile.
    All systems nominal.
    After driving the BP the last 10 months the B3 (with 4 new tires is so much quieter!
    Still need to get the O2 sensor, down pipe, and manifold replaced.
    Stats on first tank should be interesting.

        1105 hrs
        First refuel at 388.7 miles
        Took on board 10.188 gallons
        Average speed was 59.1 MPH.
        Giving MPG of 38.1, not good but have been mountains most of the tank.
        Had assumed Check Engine Light was O2 related.
        Will. Have to see data from second tank.

          38mpg isn't terrible for a BP festiva though

          1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
          1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
          2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

          1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            1257 hours reached half way point in mission profile.
            All down hill from here.
            Well truthfully, I never saw the sign for the Eastern Continental Divide, but should have passed it.

                I do not think he is in the BP car....I think he is driving the one he picked up at madness from Jay.

                        Sorry all, entering a post via a Blackberry while on the road does not produce useful results.

                        Damkid, I was driving a bone stock B3.

                        GenevaDirt, I drove my trusty turquoise one, the one I pickup at madness lost a RR wheel after a state inspection.

                        TominMO, thanks I needed to woke up, shouldn't be asleep at 8 PM Monday night!!!!!!!!!!

                          Yeah, I was driving it when the wheel came off! What an experience. Apparently they reused a crush nut instead of putting a new one on after taking wheel off to inspect brakes and the crush nut failed. All is okay now, though.

                            Wait, they actually remove the drum to inspect the brake shoes? I would kill someone for touching my car like that! If the rear brake holds for the Ebrake, then the shoes are good enough.
