Gutted interior; door panels x4 removed, passenger front seat removed, carpet and padding removed, center console removed, all for weight savings. Under the hood; checked air filter and cleaned a little fuzz off, removed intake neck before air filter box to increase temp of air to engine hoping to increase mpg, also removed power steering/as compressor pump since ac doesn't work anyway and I can live without power steering considering the mileage increase I am hoping for. Outside; Green duct tape over front grille where it said Kia, thoughts about lower grill in works, also considering rear wheel skirt ideas.
