New ecomodder down-under

Hi

A new ecomodder living in Australia.
I found this site whilst researching (read random googling) hybrids and aerodynamics.
Hopefully I can share as much as I learn.

Nige.

Hi Daox,

I've got an 05 mazda 3.
But I'm considering looking for something else as a project.
Plenty of inspiration for that here I see.

Hi Nitro-nige,
good to see a fellow melbournian here, i have only spotted a few other Australians around. Welcome to the site as weather spotter mentioned the wiki is a great place to start, the +65 efficiency mod list and +100 hypermiling lists are great to look at too.

You have clearly already found the forums, there is a lot of info in them and after many months here i am still finding interesting new info every time i come here. There area also some good blogs in the blog section.

Since you are in australia if your worried about legality of any modifications you can find the road worth rules online at various government websites.
