Go to the Fiero Wrecking yard in Vegas and I am sure you will find a ton of parts you would use.
O/T how is the work over their, to housing prices, could a Fiero mechanic make money over there.? Would they even let me drive my Fiero over there or would it have to be inspected all to hell? Just really curious.
You gauge thread is so awesome on here. We do have a guy here in BC that is working with a Metric 240 factory stock looking setup. I would really like to read more about the type of printer yoused and such. We even tossed around the idea or taking his 240kpg cluster and dong it has 240mph cluster with just a different crystal. I am sure there would be a demand from a few Yankees that wanted it just for the Novelty of it.
To be able to take my Fiero out to do a 200kph run on a regular basis without the possibility of going to jail would be heaven for me. It would really get me off my butt to setup a Fiero to do that mythical 165mph pass. I think the closest there was, was Calid Kid at 158mph (IIRC that was the top) may have changed since I read it years ago
I know this is going V/O/T but aside from the Autobahn, what other cool things are there, the Nirenberg Ring. (SP) Do you have anything like Las Vegas. Lastly what is the job market for car guys and computer techs. One last question are there "English Speaking community's over there" I knew here in BC we have normal White people area's then we Chine Town, Little India, even getting a small amount of Mexicans.

how about that , if your decide to make a week or two vacation here give me a skype call, i bet we can arrange a good time for you in different citys with some german fiero owners. ( Timo a.k.a Santa pffname: fiero1fan would also be a good contact , he lives near Frankfurt )
Living :
food : much cheaper than in america or canada ( u need to spend low percentage of your income for food ) houses : cheap in east not cheap in west. east : 300-400 euro per month warm for a 70m² in citis , cheaper on the "flat land " west : we pay 850 for 99 m² in Hamburg and thats a low price . houseprices are at 150.000 - open end
job : much easier to get in western germany and better paied than in east . everybody here has healthcare even if ure unemployed you have the same healthcare like a working person . Only private insured ppl get a better care in some points .
driving: i think its possible that you drive your car here with your licence , your plates and ur insurance when your not longer in germany than 3 month. Autobahn: as fast as you or your car can drive ( not on all parts of it ). But my Fiero with its 87 brakes is fun to drive at speeds greater 180kmh but i dont want to use the Brakes for hard stops . They are not made for this speeds i guess.
