I'm glad you're still at it. I'm working on my own coast down testing and so I'd be happy to see your thoughts. I too considered testing even when there were significant winds, but I changed my mind.
Re: your chart. The yellow is with gap fillers and box and the blue is the box without the fillers? How did you calculate Cd? Because the stock Cd listing for the 1996-2000 Civic coupe was 0.32, while the hatch was something like 0.36 ... so something just does not look right, or else I am not getting it. You recorded speeds or distances and calculated Cd somehow? Did you start by assuming 0.36?
