Update I got a little more work done Saturday.

The aluminum frame work is built for the top piece and the brace work from the deck lid to the top is done.


Today I'm going to make some patterns for the sides and the back tail section.

The top drops 11-degrees. The bottom piece will come up at 15-degrees.

The sides will come in to the back piece at 12-degrees.

Wanna see more!! That looks cool. What is the material?

I'm interested in hearing about your engine, because I have a 95 Civic EX with the same engine. But I'm trying to sell it. I've gotten up to 50 mpg with the auto trans, but nowhere close to what you're getting.

I'm also running a home built lean burn prechamber. I can run as lean as 25:1

This has been the biggest contributor to my mileage but I max it out and need aero mods big time since my car has crappy Cd of .035

Hopefully I can get the Cd down to .025 or less.
