Current Mods: |
I had the available TRO "cold air intake" installed with it's K&N air filter.
I have made a lot of use of Coroplast and tape -- the Cd is down from 0.31 to ~0.26-0.27. I am using smooth wheel covers.
I have replaced the side mirrors with video cameras and small screens!

Planned Mods: |
Mostly aero -- I'd like to do a full belly pan (aluminum probably) and possibly a full boattail.
I would also like to replace the 4.31:1 final drive with a 3.56:1 gear set. |
