If you Google Cambodia Traffic, you'll see why. 4 speed? Probably no dice, there is barely any space for the miniature trans it has.

I would, but it's a cover to a frame underneath which is the structure to contain all the wires and such. That structure is bolted to the hatch and looks awful without it (all the holes, etc.)

For me I think the best mods are going to result from fuel maps and/or fudging with the O2 sensor/map sensor, etc. because my avg. speed right now on my scangauge equivalent says 14.5 km/h, which isn't even 10 mph. Any aero mods are going to be useless I am thinking, considering the driving I do.

P.S. I also adjusted the ignition timing (I noticed it starts to ping a little under a load when hot) and the mileage seems to be a little better. Usually at 100 km I am below 1/4 tank, but now I am slightly above. Anyway, I know the stock fuel gauge is inaccurate, but you can still judge vaguely on it.
