I went through and moved the aerodynamic portion of the thread over to the Aerodynamics Forum. I'll post engine/transmission/suspension improvements here.

ChopStix I realized the other change that I made last week...I fixed the A/C!!! It was tolerable in the spring with 80-85F temps and the windows down ~1 inch for a little airflow, but when it got into the 90s I had to break down and repair the leaky high side valve, vacuum and refill. I started using the A/C last week, and it's definitely a power hog on the highway. I have no idea how much, but my vacuum gauge is showing around 8-9inHg instead of 9-11inHg on a drafting cruise. I think it's time for me to finally build the MPGUINO!
