That's amazing!
Eventually I'll try and aero mod this car out as well and see where i get. I'm thinking for 30 bucks when i paint my car i can make some pretty sweet paint match fiberglass rear wheel skirts kinda "insight-escue".
Whats yalls opinions on 1/8" ABS plastic wheel disk? Im going to screw on the caps and silicone the edges to the wheels as well.

Did math on my auto and the rpm drop would mean tcc unlocking, so minimal if any gains to be had. My mpg is better at 63 than 55 for that reason. I'm sure aero mods would make up the difference. Manual transmission jealousy abounds.

Btw, anybody know of a tcc control switch write-up?

See when the time comes flip that car and track down a cheap stick car!

Edit: Also check out california civic's garage thread. He has most of his mods written out. I'm about to do an alternator switch and injector kill switch here in a second.
