I've been over on geometroforum.com for a few months now planning out the mechanical aspects of my project, but now that I've settled on a plan and put all my orders in online, I figured I would start a thread over here to document my work.
The goal of my project is to modify a 1993 Geo Metro XFi so that it capable of 100 MPG.
How am I going to do that you ask?
Well, here are the main contributors to my goal:
- turning the Metro into a 3 wheeled reverse trike. This will drastically cut weight and allow the vehicle to be more aerodynamic.
- Full streamlining. Shooting for a .16 Cd
- Megasquirt ECU for full fuel control
- Engine parasitic loss modifications
Those are the main points of my project.
Here are some pictures to help you visualize the plan:
