    Front wheel skirts are being planned now. The only big gains remaining after that are under body paneling, complete rear end aero treatment, and my personal favorite: drive train regearing.

    I've always said that drive train regearing is my personal favorite. I guess that's why we're so good together.

    no power steering?

  4. ukweli 76 months ago | reply

    Honestly, John, I can't even tell the difference. But the car weighs less than 1900 lbs.

    I know this is an old picture, but have you considered a front air dam? I made my Civic's with about $8 in materials and a half hour. It would really help the mileage too.

    Tyler Linner I do currently have about a 3" "lip" dam on the front. What did you use for yours? I went the lawn edging route.

    Much of what is seen in this photo was destroyed by a deer collision over a year ago. I do so little driving now I haven't been motivated to spend time on it. And the car is too miserable for long distance when we take a trip.

    Ah, yep. Same. I did both the Probe and Civic with one roll, though the second one was easier. Will upload new pics when I take them.

    Haha, miserable. That's one way to save gas.
