n00b here - current ride is Nissan Versa

Hello everyone!

n00b here, been doing as best I can with mileage for some time, but found this site and have implemented some changes already from here.

I added an air dam to my F150 made out of landscaping seperator. It was a bit more flimsy than I liked so I bent up some 1/4" round steel rod and ran it into the hollow edge the strip comes with, worked like a charm.

Bought a scan-gauge, so I will probably test the F150 with and without the dam and report back.

On the Versa I haven't done much, she gets exactly 29.5mpg for me, but I hope to improve that some. I will be removing the mirrors and adding something less massive soon and again I will report how that goes. I may add an air dam to her as well, but I want to try to make it an air-operated device as the clearance is already fairly low. I'll also be adding some grill block-outs for the fog light holes and the main grill inlet similar to several threads here.

Nice forum, I hope I can add to the fun!
