So I'm thinking someday, maybe once I have a job, I want to do a rebuild or at least a regasket on that old smoker of an engine in my 2002 Hyundai Accent GS 1.5 GoldenSmoky...
Thinking to make it mechanically sound first, then lift it (worsening the aerodynamics, acceleration (larger wheels) and stability but gaining crucial offroad capability in the form of better ground clearance) and then optimise the aerodynamics for the new high stance. Hoping to target a realistic MPG of... drum roll please, 30. So, not even the EPA expected, let alone the usual ecomod goal of above the EPA combination economy.
Should I build my own hubcaps if I do this? It'd be to improve aerodynamics of course.
The reason it'd be lifted is, as I stated earlier, this is going to be my little mudbuggy. It's front wheel drive, so not really good on mud, and it's low as hell, so again...
What would a good undertray be made of? What about a partial grill block? Fairing for the mirrors to make them behave better aerodynamically? Other aero mods you want to suggest to counter the de-economising of lifting it? I want to make this ****box the "This is our car" car of the working-class connected millenial.
