Other than pumping up your tires and adjusting your driving style (which I'm sure you have already done), here are a few ideas: - Grille block, at least partial, but a full block with closeable holes is better,
- Fold or remove the passenger side mirror,
- Narrower and/or taller tires with low rolling resistance,
- Alternator cut off switch with a larger battery,
- Engine kill button,
- Bellypan (under the engine, and maybe all the way back),
- Flat wheel covers (hubcaps),
- Rear wheel skirts,
- Kammback.
The above mods should let you easily get below 4 l/100km. Check out 65+ Efficiency Mods for more ideas.
The '92 Fiesta has a very nicely shaped rear hatch for adding a Kammie, it could be at least 60-70cm long. I'd love to see how much of an improvement it would give. |
Hey!
Thanks a lot guys!
Things I'm planning to do:
[*]Grille block, partial, because my car has almosto no air enter at all, the onde over the front bumper is like 2 fingers thick, and the under one is practically closed by the license plate. though I'll think about a way of auto close or open it, depending on engine's temp.
[*]Allready have narrow tires, are 165mm wide, have some 145 but are a bit unsecure. mines are: 165/65 r13
[*] Alternator cut off switch I'm really interested on that, could you help me on this please?
[*] Engine kill button how does it work?
[*] Bellypan only under the engine and on the left rear side of the spare tyre, I'll use some form any other car and just adapt it there.
If with this I'll reach maybe 4,2l/100km I'll be really happy as it does about 4,8/100km.
Does the Escort gearbox is longer that the fezzy? Won't it burn more becaus has few power for the rotation?
