yes, rear wheel skirts are coming up in the semi-near future; as is full underbody aero.

the goal is 60mph average for the tank. using pulse and glide, drafting, using all the tricks in the book to get me there - so long as I can average 60mpg, i'm a happy man.

tyre spats will be fabricated when i do the underbody aero. lowering the car maybe in the future, but i gotta burn thru this set of tyres first. then maybe new shocks, lowering springs, and an alignment.

no fuel log yet, as i've only owned the car a couple weeks now, and only have put about 200 miles on it, most of which was test driving it, driving it around to burn the old fuel in the tank, and driving it to get smog. only 130 miles ago did i put a FULL tank in, and start driving for max MPG. seems many of my mods will be before i have a 'base' mpg, so we will have to compare my first numbers to a bone stock HX.
