RSX front belly pan

[99clipsgst]

To date my only eco mods on my RSX type S is max tire PSI and an Ultra Guage. The newest mod I have done is extended the stock belly pan.

Here is the before.


The After.


I have used 1 tank of gas and got 29.54 mpg but it has been raining pretty hard the last week so I will have to do a few more tanks to get a feel for the results.

Your photos aren't showing up.

Seems you are getting the same mpg as my TSX... I had considered the RSX when I was in the market for a car. I believe there are more mods available for the car. There are no turbo kits for the TSX, for example. The gearing is a little taller too I think.

I'm thinking about doing a belly pan on the TSX, but really it just needs taller gears to be efficient. 3000RPM at 70MPH is way too high.

Hopefully the pics work now.

After.


As for the gearing here is yours vs mine.

That is high, I am about 2400-2500 RPM around 71 MPH on my V6 nissan.
i have advanced timing but im not sure if that effects that.

What RPM are you at when traveling 70mph? I've considered swapping in an RSX final drive, but I believe that will only drop my RPM by 8%. I'd still be doing 2700 RPM at 70, which still might be worth the hassle. I'm on the fence.

99clipsgst are you going to do an rear diffuser/paneling ?

I am in the process of finishing my rear diffuser.

I'm not sure if I will do a rear cover. They seem to be harder to make so they don't turn into a big parachute.
