Sorry but I don't understand how moving the radiator to the rear would decrease the drag. I suppose it's because you are just screwing up the airflow near the end and letting the rest of the flow be smoother over the majority of the cars length? Because you still need some (?) drag to push the air through the radiator... Any votes on how much rear mounting radiator would help FE?

I suppose the wheel is encased in its own housing which pushes against the fabric when the tires are turned... Doesn't seem so tough, if you had some fabric that was elastic enough and weather proof... Some strechy neoprene maybe?
