MetroMPG.com mailbag: reader MPG success story!
Another one from MetroMPG.com. I love receiving messages like this. Just came in this evening:

Skirts: As for the krazy karpet, don't worry about it because it's too thin to be used on its own anyway. In the heat of summer, the plastic softens, so it didn't have very much strength. I just recently rubber-cemented coroplast sheet to the back of the skirts to stiffen them up. MUCH better (though I still need to complete the new fastener approach... currently the skirts are duct taped back on the car). Others have had luck fashioning a metal framework, attaching that to the wheel arch, and then attaching a plastic skin to it. Or, if you're skilled with fiberglass, that's another option I'd consider. Yet another option is sheet metal. There aren't any tricky compound curves involved. EG: http://www.teamswift.net/album_pic.php?pic_id=7942 ScanGauge: Installing the ScanGauge is definitely beyond easy: the OBD2 port is under the dash a little left of your right shin. Hunker down there and you'll find it in 5 seconds. You just plug the SG in - that's all there is to it (you should set up a few parameters as well - displacement, fuel tank size). You're going to LOVE the SG2. I actually just ordered one this week to replace my SG1. If you're interested, register and join the ecomodder discussion here. There's more MPG where your 10% came from, and knowledgeable folks here to bounce ideas off. |
FYI - the person this thread is about tells me he may sign up and post some pics of his work.
