Hey everyone! Been reading the forum for a few weeks now and signed up today.
Thanks to the great tips on this site I've been working on changing my driving habits to squeeze out some extra km's and yesterday I performed my first Eco-Mod. Pics to come soon, but I made some lexan covers for the grille in my bumper to reduce the air hitting my Rad and causing drag.
Highway trip last night showed 0% change in engine temp, the needle sat where it always does, even under some hard driving to test it out. This weekend will see a good 600km trip so I'll be back with numbers to let you all know how well it worked.
My vehicles are a 2001 Acura EL (1.7, 5-speed Manual) and ye olde 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd that pretty much sits in the driveway unless I need to move something big.
I reprogrammed the ECM of the truck a few months ago with a newer version and got much better fuel econ (18 L/100 down to somewhere between 13 and 15) but would love to get tips from everyone on body mods to do to it, i've looked around but haven't found much luck other than "buy a truck cap" (it's coming.. eventually).
Looking forward to a great future with all of you,
Stu
