Thanks,

it makes it really difficult to judge different techniques with such long intervals between mileage calculations but i think ive got about as much as i practically can out of using better technique now, the rest of my improvements with have to come for aero and mechanical upgrades.

ive been planning a flat floor for a while now and i think il use the method i saw someone else i here use (cant remember who) with an aluminium frame suspended from the chassis then coated with coroplast.

also on the shortlist are a bigger front air dam (down to the height of the front suspension) and an aero bed cover (this will require the most work), time and money are holding up my progress at the moment though as per usual.
