I'm going to be taking this project into the direction of something a little different:
I came up with this idea a while ago, but now I'm putting the plan into action.
The only modification is I may not be doing is a top chop because it would only result in a slight difference in drag and is a huge amount of work. Taking the mirrors off would have about the same result and that takes 15 minutes vs 2 weeks. so hopefully you're getting my point.
Anyway, I'm shooting for 100 MPG while cruising at 60 mph.
Mods Include:
- Turning vehicle into a 3 wheeler
- Full Streamlining
- Video mirrors
- Engine rebuild with fuel economy in mind
- Tallest Transmission available(if I can find one. I currently have the 3.79 but the 3.52 ratio would be even better)
- Tall and skinny tires
- Suspension lowering
- Fully ducted cooling system
am I missing anything? haha. Basically, I'm pulling out all the tricks. Should end up being cheaper than building my own vehicle from scratch and I'll have heat, windshield wipers, and 2 seats.
Not sure if this thing will be registered as a motorcycle or a car yet, but what they don't know won't hurt them
