Have you looked at the aero with it open on the sides and rear? Seems like it would make a lot of turbulence (drag) at 70+ mph. I think that extending the sheeting of the roof further back (even shooting brake style) or putting a gurney flap at the back of the roof might reduce the drag at speed, but I'm just guessing.
The tip to manual is fairly straight forward if you have all the bolt in parts.
The DME is common but the software is not. The Tip wire harness works, but you need to add a pin D1 to ground or add the clutch switch.


As far as drag well yes but extending panels adds points for material used that I can't afford. Its on an even playing field as all the cars run without widows and such and thus have drag (wind resistance) going thru the roll cage, B and C pillars on hard tops
