Default Re: Center console removal?

i'm in ohio, my roommate have a 2003 acura rsx type s, all he had done was warm air intake, i have a 97 tiburon that was in 2 accidents totaled both times, but fixed, cold air intake, custom straight piped exhaust, 1.8 motor swap, and i gutted my car before the race, the only thing in my car was a drivers seat, plus i had removed my cat. so my check engine is on and commanding my engine lean. i ran 16.3 in the 1/4 mile, he ran 15.7. short shifter and rims next month. i have a .025 reaction time, but not on my 16.3 run. Hyundai makes some incredible engines, and cars. dont feel bad guys hyundai is catchign up to some fast cars out there!

I think some of the ones sold overseas did, stateside they were 1.8 with an optional 2.0 until 1999.

If you have a CEL it'll make the engine run richer! Fail safe.

Will it always make it run richer? My CEL is because of my rear O2 sensor, I thought it was fine. Maybe that's why I keep sputtering.

I believe all FX models came with the 2.0.
