Hi Tom. I drive a `93 245. Mine has already been deracked...I used the IPD plug kit to plug up the holes. I've experimented with a rear lip spoiler and roof mounted vortex generators. And while they clearly change the aero signature and provide a modest increase in stability...neither has yielded any significant FE gain. You can replace your standard metal wiper blades with the new style 'mono-structure' blades.
Also, have you considered removing/disconnecting the OE warm air system to the airbox? The airbox T-stat is a fairly major obstruction inside the airbox and you'll find that the car will breathe a bit better with it removed.
