postmac; the SG is something I'll never out-grow. Can't do without the instantaneous feedback. Congrats on 40!

Thanks, AJ! I'll be looking for your thread documenting the mods...

Kitt; If you're only getting 30 out of a Vibe, you need to tighten the nut behind the wheel. You'll see a much larger increase with a change in driving habits, than you will with a boat load of aero mods. I'd be consistently getting over 40...if I only had more self-control! Ha ha!

I lost the anti-chaffe tubing on the front wheel covers on the way home from Idaho a couple months ago. The rear ones are still hanging on. When I fabricated and installed the covers, it was cold out, and I didn't get a good coat of paint on them. They're starting to rust now. I think I'm going to have to make a version 1.2, or see if I can clean them up and repaint them.
