Been a while since I posted anything. Been busy with life and school and what not.

It was warm today (upper 50's - low 60's), so me and my brother were able to do some aero mods to the ZX2.

Got my rear wheel well covers on





I obviously care little for looks LOL. I ran out of spray paint, which is why the red is shining through in places. At least I got the white words covered up!

Me and my brother took it for a ride to town and back to see how it would do. The car got up to speed quicker with less throttle and stayed at speed with less throttle. Coasting was much better, as I gained some speed going down small hills where I lost a little speed before. I got 38.6 heading to town and this coming back



Which is a new trip record for the Ecoscort

I will be doing more testing as time permits. So far so good!
