Aero mods using RBL collision wrap
 
I did some more testing today with killer results.

My first mod was a product by RBL industries called collision wrap. Its a clear heavy mill. plastic sheeting that's used in the auto body industry. Its for when they get a car in and they need a heavy plastic that can be stretch and put on... as a example side glass or back glass or windshield that was knockout.

Anyway I thought I would share. This is a great product for doing some aero mod testing.

I'm going to have to throw out this run. :(

First off I made to many changes.
1) all the aero mods front and back.
2) Lean burn from 18.5 to 19.0 to today's 19.0 to 20.0 A/F
3) Ran my e-cut out open half the time
4)raised tire pressure up to 55 psi. (I forgot I drop them down for the last two test runs for comfort reasons for daily driving).
5) I averaged more around 56 mph.

Anyway I went my usual loop 66 miles interstate 90 freeway driving.
Temperature was about the same as my last run. Started out 82* F in my town and went up to 86* F in Spokane. No wind at all this time.

Went 66 miles and I could not for the life of me get any more fuel back in the car. It only took 0.627 gallons.

103.66mpg :rolleyes:something is not right there's no way it did this???

The car is really impressive to drive. You can let off the gas and it keeps going forever.:)

You need larger fill ups (or just get an mpguino to be exact about it)

Gas expands :p

Small fills are more prone to inaccurate results. Do you have any instrumentation? That'd be the best way to see any instant changes.

I can't wait to get my ecomodder.com stickies. People were passing me and doing major double takes all day long. My wife wouldn't even ride with me this time. I can't seem to blame her. LMAO.

I need help...

Check out my turbo turtle on the back bumper. hehehe:turtle:

I need one of those definitely. I drive the car for about an hour before testing hoping to preheat the fuel, but it isn't probably enough.

Yeah, like more plastic!!

Cool stuff, will a hair dryer make it shrink tight like window film?
How wide does it come?
How well does it stay on? Yeah you need time to answer that one.
Keep it smooth dude ! :turtle:

Yeah, just get an MPGuino and you'll not need to drive as much and get much more accurate results.
