Hey All -
I've been working on my project '99 HX Coupe for a bit more than a year now. Doing some wacky stuff with it, but nothing more wacky than the last mod I completed. I went a little nuts with fiberglass and bondo …
My goal from the start was to hit a sustainable 50 MPG at cruising speed. The car will do it now, as long as I don't go more than 55 or so. I'm working on more aero mods to hit the numbers at 60+. The latest mod (just started testing) might solve the parachute problem without cutting holes in the rear bumper.
I've been shooting videos on the project all along and tracking every fill on Fuelly.com. My last tank was the best legit tank I've had yet. http://www.fuelly.com/car/honda/civic/1999/MPGomatic/280405
My dream, way back when, was to get the car to SEMA and I'm still aiming for it, but it's tough going (and the car's still way too rough). I want to work on developing parts that fix problems and make our cars cooler, without dropping big piles of dough.
The YouTube playlist has videos with a bunch of stuff: Sparco R100 install, carpet replacement, Elastiwrap, you name it. I'm getting ready to hit it with the dip again.
Stay Tuned!
