Well its been a while and nothing really major in the way of aero improvements, but I did fix my damaged passenger side of the car. Replaced the fender and tried to improve the gaps around the hood and where the fender meets the door. I actually made the fender slightly higher then the door where the seams meet to help prevent air from being directed into the door jamb/hinge area. Finally finished installing my A/C and got it up and running but surprisingly my gas mileage actually improved since I have been using it. I suspect that has to do with my driving habits with the A/C on and not revving the engine up as much before shifting,and the 100+ temps here in Phoenix. I also have played with my VAF meter more and leaned it out as well as adjust my cam timing a little bit. Soon I plan on getting an AEM wideband so I know exactly what my A/F ratio is and not the tune and test drive method/guessing.
