OEM Honda. They're not extremely expensive and are worth the quality and peace of mind.

Supposedly fuel injector cleaner with a full tank of gas after a tuneup is bad?
Can anyone shed some light on the detrimental effects of fuel injecotr cleaner? Posted via RS Mobile | |

That stuff will yield nothing more than a placebo effect. If you're buying gas from say for example Chevron, the additives like Techron are more than likely to clean your fuel injectors. However, if your car is old and your gas tank is rusting, that could cause long-term and unforseen problems. Most modern cars today should be okay. Rather than spend the money on a bottle of (useless) fuel injector cleaner, spend the 7 minutes instead to check your tire pressure.

I would think the colder weather we've been having would affect your mpg somewhat.

i remember reading somewhere that the best filter to use was a s2000 filter.
apparently it fits onto civic/del sol/crx
anyone seen this before or heard about this?

I've been using WIX filters for all of my oil changes.

they won't "clean" the air as well as an oem because they have less cells and a cheaper mix of precious metals
but if your car engine is healthy then the cat (being a new magnaflow) shouldn't hold you back at aircare
call up mopac (604-881-4900) and get a quote for a magnaflow.. or make a trip to your local Canadian Tire
the sponsors might be able to hook you up as well..

EDIT: I think a member mention if a Cat converter gets clogged then the engine would have to work a bit harder to compensate

Sometimes even OEM is not the best; Mazda Canada OEM filters are shit (aka Blue Can of Death).

This happened on my MK1 Supercharged MR2. I was at Kinetic Motorsport and hypa pointed out my intercooler was flexing beyond normal. Turned out it was a melted cat. Car drove like ass and mileage went down the drain.

Bad analogy

The price range for an O2 sensor really ranges.
I gave rockauto a check for a 93' Del So, and it looks like 40 bucks for your cheapest.
If you go to VAP Auto Parts, I would likely expect maybe close to double to price, so 80 dollars? for your O2 sensor.
I would also research to see which brand works the best.
[Since the CDN exchange rate is fairly good, your best bet might be to order a bunch of supplies from rockauto, since the shipping kind of kills the deal if you order only a small amount]
