Hi,

I am getting a Ford Focus ZX3 with a bad tranny for free. I am appauled at the Focus ZX3's cd of .036 for this generation though.

Any idea on how to cut down on drag without adding a boat tail?

I might send off my MTX75 off somewhere to have a 3.41 final drive put in along with the ~.67 European Diesel 5th gear so gearing should be absolutely awesome for FE but just worried about the terrible cd on the car.

Anyone know anything about these cars? There is such little support for ecomodding these vehicles that I might not take it even for free.

Thoughts?

Thank you
