More done today
Got the grill block done today out of .32" like I mentioned first I noticed a jump in engine temps but that's to be expected went from 1/4 gauge to 1/2 way on the temp gauge, I plan to combat that with a coolant flush and swapping to 50/50 from the 70/30 winter mix some royal purple ice,mishimoto thermostat, to avoid drilling holes for cooling till summer,then I'll drill 4 1" holes then tape overthem and pull the tape back as needed, as for drag reduction didn't notice much if any at 55mph but as soon as I hit 65 on the highway I instantly felt the reduction in drag when I was coasting found myself bracing more in the offramp to head back home witch was a nice feeling finished off the alum with some satin black epoxy self priming paint came out pretty good will post pics going to shave my rear bumper lip and do my double rear diffusers as well as my fog hole block offs then maybe this weekend take a trip back to the Canada border to test gains if any in mpg.
