96' Chevy Corsica 2.2L 3-speed!

Wait for another tank to add it all up.

Too bad you can't swap a hatch onto it. I guess it's on to the old kammback-on-a-sedan problem. I see you were thinking about mounting a boat tail on the hitch; have you considered doing this? The longer the hitch arm, the easier it will be. Maybe the bottom portion could be fixed to the rear bumper, while only the top/rear pivots.

dude, that is a great idea! I love it.

here are the mods we did at the park and at oldmech's house

Lawnairdam


100% upper grill block


hubcaps


Rearwheel Skirts



Steady 55MPH went from 34MPG to 36MPG !!

Nice. Do you have some hard backing on the wheel skirts, or are the wheels that far offset?

[BabyDiesel]

Sven7, the wheel skirts have 1/8"x1" aluminum bar along the bottom of the wheel well to form the shape. His tires were more offset than they appeared, hence the seperation at the bottom front. Up from that, the coroplast was screwed down using existing holes underneath a layer of weather stripping. Along the top and towards the back, there is 2 pieces of aluminum bar bent into a L-shape. These were drilled into the fender, as the coroplast is drilled down with a screw that goes threw it and the bar. It is the same setup as is on my ZX2, and it works great at all speeds

new highscore!

Got a rear belly pan now! Thanks to babydiesel for the coroplast!
Still needs a little work but is way better already.
Wind noise dramatically reduced.








It has a piece of sheet metal around the muffler for a heat shield.
all zip ties and duct tape.
Front belly pan will go on soon.
No need to do the middle its mostly flat.

Looks great! You will see an increase in cruising mpg and coasting distance, for sure!
