The o2 doesnt ususally send any codes, its just a power, ground, and one sensor wire. so if the sensor was was not reading correctly the ecu would just think you're doin something weird to the car.

How much more does your car weigh over a stock SC4? It may not make too much difference but all the extra stuff you have on your car could be hurting your fuel economy. I don't think it would make it drop from 17-18 mpg to 9 mpg, but maybe 1-2 mpg.

I NEED AN LSD. That constant inside tire spinning is killing my spirit. I get it at any turn where I'm trying to enjoy myself and it SUCKS. My FWD Celica was more fun that this with less mods and it's slower.

Have you checked your tire pressure?
I was recently getting around 14 mpg. It was p'ing me off. When I checked my tire pressure it was down to 20 psi on all 4 tires (18 inch rims)! So I fill them back up. The next tank of gas got me 19 mpg (with the same type of driving).
