I've been on the fuel-efficient aero kick for some time now myself.
I haven't had the opportunity to really start experimenting with different ideas yet though.

I'll let you know what I come up with! I removed my basket for my drive from Central California back to Oregon and noticed a 1-2mpg increase (but that's pretty much a given!). Once I take that ridiculous roof scoop off, I'll get to the underside of the car and hopefully get some noticeable results!

I have a weird feeling that having a "flat" surface under the car will actually improve handling, too..

Lastly, I made a very stupid decision back when I lived in California that I'm fully regretting now... Still researching how to correctly fix it, but I bet you guys (and gals) might be able to take a look at my car and guess what I'm going to remove :lol:

You need to turn the Dempsey back up to 11? :biggrin:

 

[Snoshado]

I apologize for the lack of updates... I'll be more active on here in a few weeks when I'm finished with college.


With that said, it's finally time for me to build my motor.

Oh yeah, :lol: I forgot to post photos... My roof scoop is GONE!

Looks fantastic! Some good camera / film / editing skills at work there.

 

[Snoshado]

Figured I'd drop a quick update: My shortblock is built and the car is running fantastically. I deleted my roof scoop and have some minor body work to sort out but otherwise, I've got this thing right where I want it!

Here it is...
The moment you've all been waiting for!

The wiring diagram to convert '03-'05 headlights to the newer, '06-'08 ones!!

This will make it so that your low beams don't give the high beams a phantom load when they're on and will also make the low beams stay on when you turn on the high beams - just like they're supposed to!

*Use the driver side headlight plug for this and run wires across to the passenger side headlight assembly. Do not connect anything to the passenger side headlight plug coming from the car - tape / seal the plug instead and do not use it.

A huge thanks to Joshua H (thebeephaha) for this!

Hey there, thanks for posting this! Any idea if the wiring is the same for 07-08 factory hid headlights or would it be different?

The wiring is absolutely different. Shoot me a PM if you need some help and I'll see what I can do!

You guys! I moved back to California a few months ago... and in case you missed it, I've got a built shortblock and just threw on some Tomei EL headers! My Fozzy is finally getting further and further away from the turd of a car it used to be!

(I'm so happy I got rid of that roof scoop...)

 

[FXTerrific]

nice man!
glad shes feeling good. have fun!

 

[2cam16]

Welcome back,Dempsey!

 

[Snoshado]

Thanks guys!

My next project is to get my 2008 FXT sideskirts wrapped and installed.. then it's time for more power! I've decided to make the switch to E85 :icon_wink:

 

[MikeDrives1]

I cant wait to open her up on E85. Your drivetrain can handle it.
