<div id="post_message_2278"> So in following the footsteps of the pioneer Basjoos before me,
I too am setting out on the road of improving the aerodynamics of a 5th generation Honda Civic
hatchback. <br />
<br />
Goals are as follows: <br />
1.) Improve aerodynamics from Cd: 0.32 to Cd: 0.26 or better (Honda Insight equivalent) <br />
2.) Materials must be Weather, impact and wear resistant with a (projected) life of 5+ years of
normal use. <br />
3.) Overall design of components must be removable, with no permanent changes to the
structure of the automobile. <br />
4.) Aesthetic considerations play a role, notably in the S.W.M.B.O. test. (She Who Must Be
Obeyed cannot object *too* strenuously to the aesthetics of the modifications).<br />
<br />
In pursuit of these goals I plan to implement the following modifications, in roughly this
order:<br />
1.) Rear wheel fairings (not the most effective, I know, but the easiest, and most forgiving)
<br />
2.)Front wheel fairings <br />
3.)Partial front belly pan<br />
4.)Fiberglas front nose/splitter<br />
5.)Boat-tail<br />
<br />
And now for a quickly photochopped picture of phases 1-4<br />
<img src="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/ajohnmeyer/94Civic2.jpg" border="0"
alt="" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, to kick-off my little project I acquired a full sheet of 4-5mm (?) thick peice of white onesided-grained ABS plastic. This actually took about a solid month of trying to track down my
local plastics supplier. But today I actually found him and for a mere $75 took home a sheet of
awesome white ABS. <br />
<img src="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff289/ajohnmeyer/IMG_4869.jpg" border="0"
alt="" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><br />
<br />
<br />
ABS seems to me to be the ideal material for making fairings and such because of it's
malleability under heat and because it can be "welded" with the right equipment.
Luckily my local Harbor Freight store has the welding kit if I ever feel spendy, and they had a
heat-gun on sale for $9.99 last week which I fortuitously saw fit to pick up even though I had no
ABS at the time.</div>

anchor. I unknowingly chose to drill into the body where I can't get behind the sheet metal to
get a nut on the bolt. So that's where the big drywall anchors come in. <br />
After having it on the car, I've decided that I'm going to try to find a hinge to put on the front
part of it tomorrow. A hinge will greatly facilitate tire removal if <b>(when)</b> I get a flat. <br
/>

alt="" onload="NcodeImageResizer.createOn(this);" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The only other thing I need is a much smaller bracket above the tire to hold up the top of the
fairing. <br />
<br />
So far, I have spent about $8 on the 1"x 1/8" aluminum bar stock and about $15 on
various stainless steel hardware, that seems like a lot for hardware, but it is stainless steel, and I
have changed my mind about fasteners about 3-4 times now...<img

For all those interested in using ABS in the future please note that it will discolor if you heat it
up too much with the heat gun, so heat up the back side of the piece so you wont see the
discoloration when it is installed.</div>
