Will be testing to see what(if any) effect this has on fuel economy. Also thinking about a bumper spoiler at the front edge to send air over the hood rather than smacking right into the headlights and grill area.
      Anyway. Bad pic.
      won't that effect airflow on the radiator

        Definitely will, but it should be a much less than 50% cut. The lower bumper openings are easily just as big if not a good bit bigger than the grill holes' total area. I don't expect issues from it, but if they do happen it's just duct tape and soon to be duct tape and foam. Easily reversed.

        I'm also considering spacers under the rear of the hood. Should do a few good things for airflow and cooling on these cars. Just theory now though.

        Here's some of what I want to do eventually. He's getting really nice numbers. I probably won't get as good as him. I want a balance of performance and FE.

              Also, this size corrects the mph on the speedo, according to my gps that im running right beside it (just to make sure)

              Also its pouring the rain here in western NC and they handle amazingly! !!

              • Looks great Frankenfester!

                Also about the steering wheel I'm still confused...what do you mean it's not the steering wheel that's messed up? You said, "My sterring wheel is crooked" what do you mean by crooked then? Cause if it is just not lined up straight when the car is going straight then what I said about taking it off and putting it back on you can change how it lines up...

                      I mean this. Alignment was fine. I removed the lcas, tie rods and what not
                      And, as recommeded by forum members, I had alignment done. The steering was perfect before the tierods were changed. I did a rough alignment based on the okd ones to get me to the place they do it. They allegedly aligned it, and the steerint wheel isnt (crooked like youre thinking) straight. it was installed properly on the column by a professional. they have my toe in and out off and when the wheel is in the correct level positron it goes to the left. that's alignment of toe in and out. nothing to do with the (steering) wheel itself
