Truth.

I tried hard to get those headlight motors working. One motor works but both linkages are so rusty they barely move. A coupe of hours in PB Blaster did little. I'll just have to take them apart later when I get the RX7 motors.



I made some turn signal covers out of an $8 basement window cover from Menards. Need some more red duct tape! lol



Also worked on doing some rear wheel fairings but need to find a more permanent way to build them. This coroplast and duct tape isn't going to last forever.

Then after picking up some new bulbs for the effed left turn signal I stopped for some quick pics in the waning light.



Gotta support the forum!








On the way home I met another hypermiler who claims he gets 40mpg from a stock EG Civic. I don't doubt it!

cheers

PS- I'm at 190 miles and haven't dipped below half a tank. Woo hoo!
