13mpg city. I have noted it doesn’t make much difference what RPM I shift at/run at. So rev to your hearts content as appropriate for the conditions.
Those 13 miles are the best $4 I spend that day!
It’s a great addition. Did mine last year. Buy some extra clips, they break very easily removing the old wimpy splitter.

Yes it’s a brilliant car. But just as important to me, after owning German cars, it feels good to be in the driver’s seat of a car made in America and support American auto workers.
IDK about the 4BW, but on the 5BW when the clutch is slowly released in 1st with no throttle the revs jump up a little, once the car starts rolling I push the clutch in then release it quicker than the first time. Only done this method on flat surfaces.
Paint defects. I used a bright flashlight and spent one hour going over the car and taking photos. CF trim and body parts inspect with flashlight and take photos. I had two damaged trim pieces that were replaced under warranty. Those parts are expensive.
I found out my Jeep doesn’t have a lockout (R is below and to the right of 6). Made a loud sound and jerked the stick out of my hand. That was many miles ago. Likely chipped some teeth, but nothing serious.
Never done this operation in my 5BW. R is very far away from 5th. I think a money shift...
My main point is buy a high quality battery and use it as recommended. Oydessy batteries as essentially marine use batteries and are intended to be on a charger when not in use. I have run the battery down several times to very low voltages, Jeep would not turn over. I have a large drain demand...
A couple years back I was off-roadng in my Jeep, coming down a very mild hill and brake pedal went to the floor. Pumped the brakes many times and got some braking back. Between that and having a 6-spd it was manageable. Could have gone very badly if I didn’t have runway and was approaching a...
Black is cool and a great choice for a MB S580 or Esky. It’s the paint maintenance that kills it for me. Bird shit on it for than a few minutes in the Arizona summer sun becomes more or less permanent. After some years the swirls become more pronounced and never looks quite as good.
So far two...
Unlikely to ever run into a Shadow 5BW since only 127 were made. Best color for my preference in 2022. Wanted something dark, but not black (learned my lesson on my S4) and under the radar.
My Odyssey battery in my Jeep is over 7 years old and I live in Southern Arizona. My secret, it’s constantly hooked up to a marine battery charger with proper amperage rating.
My Blackwing is also on a marine battery charger a lot of the time. These chargers cost more than a battery but pay...
