I have considered buying one of those for my apartment a few times.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the post.

I have put side skirts and rear fender skirts on. I made a small belly pan from the front bumper to the oil pan. Blocked some of the gaps around the radiator.

changed the oil to 0W20

No AC unit on top

1990 LeSabre 3800 FWD transverse power train fits, fire wall was modified.

Will be testing MPG soon on the highway.

TC locks up around 55 mph in OD (1400 rpm) 45 mph in D. Better to keep in in D and locked up ageist a head wind than slipping in OD.

I added these aero mods, skirts and belly pan, changed the oil to 0w20 and aired up the tires to 65 psi, she rolls down the road almost effortlessly now at 55. I think it was mostly the tires were at 50 psi.
Went to junk yard to get a spare tire and wheel, but they closed before I could see if the wheel fits the car
I connected the aux tank to the main fuel line with a check valve (PCV valve) line and filled up both tanks, we'll wee how far she gets down to 1/4 tank.

I have never seen any 1st-generation Renault Trafic with a transverse engine. How extensive were the firewall modifications?
