Hi There,
I recently had to sell my Insight, and its near 70 mpg, due to a growing family. I am considering purchasing a 5 spd 2003 Civic Hybrid with minor body damage and making the necessary repairs to get it on the road again. With this in mind I have three questions:
1. Does anyone know if there are body kits, addition of spoilers, or other aerodynamic changes that will reduce its .28 drag coefficient and make it a bit more slippery?
2. Are there weight saving body pieces people have used to trim the Civic's waist line?
3. Has anyone experimented with making 5th gear slightly taller to drop engine speed by 400 RPM or so at highway speeds?
Thanks for the help.
