Ren: My '92 Civic

[2000neon]

Yeah I imported my Civic from the states, although it was actually originally built in Canada. It doesn't have a lip on it.

All the stuff is loaded up... I aired up the tires on the truck, trailer and car... didn't have time for any temporary mods though

Should be able to basically draft the 5x8 UHaul trailer for 700 miles... MPG will be interesting

Great timing, snow storm predicted tonight.

Finally got an internet hookup.

We missed the snow for the most part- slept through most of it. Ren got 42-43 mpg while drafting the trailer so I'm happy with that (better than the Anal Probe w/ tail). Should beat 45mpg in the summer.

Starting work tomorrow. They have a full scale wind tunnel. I'm gonna try to get a look inside at some point!

Nice! It goes to show how much an efficient drivetrain makes, even with tons of aeromods my Neon couldn't even come close to matching my civic either.

OK, but do foam core if you can. "Cardboard core" hasn't stood up to the test of time so much.

Rear wheel skirts I'm trying to figure out. Would like to have some if they blend in and are easy to put on and take off repeatedly.

Check out AndrewJ's work for ideas: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea....html#post2280

Congrats on the GM job, BTW! We expect to hear about it when your first door handle goes into production.

42-43 is more like it!!

How long will you be in MI?

some weekend we should have a meet up!

[ps2fixer]

I might be up for a meeting in MI too, depending how busy I am, or if I'm working the weekend you guys choose (if it happens).

I'm in Michigan for the forseeable future. Totally down for a meetup. Dunno if you guys bike but it might be fun to meet up before a Detroit critical mass.

Actually, anybody down for the Michigan Mile speed run? Could be a fun testing ground for aeromods. I'm going either way. I'll make an event thread if there isnt one already...
