While I almost never participate in forums, I figure this is actually going to be one which has already been helpful and will be for years to come.

Got a 2000 HX, bought from a friend at a great price when gas was at its highest.

I love the mileage I get on this thing.

The only real mod that's not cosmetic is an AEM intake, but everything else (exhaust tip, fog lights, clear corner headlight casings) is cosmetic.

By what I've read on HCF so far, I think I'm going to pretty much just try to save money and maintain this thing myself and keep it going as long as possible, perhaps doing mods as my current components wear out (for example, my suspension is starting to go....that might mean time for a lowering )

Cheers!
