The first thing we did tonight is trim the manifold with our chosen skirting material: plastic garden edging. Then we hung it from the car and took it for a drive. mark took some video, so I'll post it after I get it from him. We left the skirting long, so it dragged the whole time as we slowly drove around the block. Did a little bit of weaving along the road and saw a few sparks as the car swung and the manifold hit. We're going to make some shorter shackles tomorrow to lift the skirt another 1/2" or so off the pavement.
All we have left is the completion of the ducting. We're about halfway there, but we had wanted to be in Kershaw early Friday for the track day. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.

About OLPD
This blog details our journey in a beat up civic from obscurity to legend of the 24 Hours of Lemons.
Her Holiness, Our Lady of Perpetual Downforce, brings with her an unusal attraction to the earth we all share. Some say it is the strength of her love for our planet, others claim it is a manifestation of the thermonuclear weak force, and the ones that peeked know that there is a military surplus cooling fan pumping 12,000 cfm of air from beneath her skirts.
Our team goals are simple:
1) Allow the world to bask in the loving glow of Our Lady.
2) Win the Dangerous Banned Technology Award.
3) Have some fun.
