A little backyard engineering.

Pretty impressive results though.

Of course, what other company would be able to design something like that.

Aren't these the same guys that stretch LRR tires on 6" wide rims?

That why when I see a hybrid, my rx7 that gets roughly 8-10mpg blows a nice flame out of the exhuast. It funny watching their reaction sometimes

Wow 90 mpg! That's nuts. The 50-60 mpg stock was freakin' nice to begin with. I wouldn't do all that aero mod shit, but this does make me consider getting an d15 powered ef hatch. Blah... f that. BIKE FTW! lol

That's actually pretty amazing. I think I'd rather spend my money on gas, though. Wonder how much that project ended up costing him anyways..

A guy close to here built a 600hp 60mpg Hummer.
