I've been digging into ecomodder for about a year now, a d I decided it's finally time to put some of it into practice. Been driving this corolla for seven years now and it's always been reliable. It'll do 32mpg during the winter and 36 during the summer without much effort. I want to see how much it'll do.

So, first up, the easy stuff. Grill blocks! I used coroplast to block the upper grill and part of the lower. Currently experimenting with blocking it off some more.

Next, I inflated the tires to 42psi. I can definitely tell they're harder than the 30psi. We'll see what it can do. Eventually I'd like to mount the Bridgestone RE92's from the honda insight, once they're worn down.

Next, I wanted to direct my airflow through the radiator. I accomplished this with some of my old plastic truck bed liner. Just a simple rectangle piece did the trick.

Continuing on with airflow, I used a big chunk of that truck bed liner to create a front underplate. It's strong enough and also ribbed, so it doesn't flap around, but it's flexible enough to bend to where you want it. It'd definitely recommend it if you've got some laying around.

Lastly, I did a passenger mirror delete. Still experimenting with how I want to block the hole,whether coroplast or duct tape.

Mileage improments will come at the end of the week, as I don't have a scan gauge.

Moving forward, I would like to do a rear diffuser, but I'm not sure the best way to do it without creating a bigger air scoop than the one the rear bumper already makes. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks to this forum and website for being so awesome!

Also, not sure how to imbed photos in the post, so they're in as attachments...
