I wonder if putting your racing airdam back on would improve your aero performance, or does it raise your frontal area too much?

How did you attach the Kamm to the back window?

Just yesterday I thought to myself that mud flaps in the front would make for quick/easy wheel spats...and boom...I see its already been done.

Finally got the mpguino install. I didn't like how small the original LCD because of my poor eye sight. I went ahead and order a larger LCD and install it inside the cluster infront of the speedometer.

Re-adjust the kamm back wing. Not sure if it's at the correct degree but here it is. Before and after.

I'm not sure if the angle is better. I liked the "before" angle quite well. The after is good too. The before must have had good, quite undisturbed flow. The after might be too. You could tuft test it. Plan too?

Nice location for the device. That's where my Ultra Gauge is. It is very convenient for pulse and glide routines. And it's also just a good place for it, since it is part of the piloting instrumentation of the car, not an entertainment device. I like it in my immediate line of vision, rather than by the radio, cupholder, elsewhere on the center column, or hanging off the windshield by the a-pillar or center rearview mirror (other places I see guys installing these instruments).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

Toying around with this idea. A hand throttle lever on the shifter.
