Update I got a little more work done Saturday.

The aluminum frame work is built for the top piece and the brace work from the deck lid to the top is done.


Today I'm going to make some patterns for the sides and the back tail section.

The top drops 11-degrees. The bottom piece will come up at 15-degrees.

The sides will come in to the back piece at 12-degrees.

Wanna see more!! That looks cool. What is the material?

I'm interested in hearing about your engine, because I have a 95 Civic EX with the same engine. But I'm trying to sell it. I've gotten up to 50 mpg with the auto trans, but nowhere close to what you're getting.

I started a aero thread because i needed to break it up into two category's.

You can see my aero mods here;
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post142600

The engine is a 1.6L D16
It has Suzuki Vitara pistons with Eagle rods.


Stock port
New Skunk2 intake manifold
New Zex Stage 2 cam (59300)
New Supertech valve springs
New Supertech valves
OEM 60mm LS throttle body
New ARP headstuds
New OEM valve seals
New OEM retainers
New OEM valve keepers
New OEM headgasket
New OEM valve cover gaskets
New OEM cam seal

New OEM timing belt
New OEM timing belt tensioner
New OEM alternator belt

D16z6 block
New 75mm YCP vitara pistons
New Eagle rods with big bolts
New ACL main bearings
New ACL rod bearings
New OEM main seal
New OEM oil pan gasket
New OEM water pump
New OEM oil pump
New OEM oil pickup
New OEM main bolts

I'm running a P28 ECU with Neptune RTP management.

Turbo Setup:
Greddy 15G turbo
Greddy cast turbo manifold
Greddy cast elbow
Greddy downpipe
Ebay intercooler
Ebay SSQV BOV
Ebay intercooler piping

I'm also running a home built lean burn prechamber. I can run as lean as 25:1

This has been the biggest contributor to my mileage but I max it out and need aero mods big time since my car has crappy Cd of .035

Hopefully I can get the Cd down to .025 or less.
