im lookin for the shot of the underbody someone took that shows the routing of the coolant tubes. and any more 90 prototype pictures you may have.
im hoping for someone to have an online album or something.....

1986 Ford EXP (goin bye-bye soon hopefully)
1986 Fiero (to be my street rocket)
1977 yamaha xs750-2D (in pieces right now, doesnt appear that it will be done for summer, unfortunately)

I have never seen any underbody/undercarriage pics.
But you can come to NIFE's Fierorama in September and see the car for yourself. It will be there.

As best as I can recall, it should be the same as a regular Fiero because the space frame was the same - only the body panels were changed.

they ran the coolant tubes down the middle of the car on the prototype. i wanted to see exactly where...

bump to the top!

Here's the only pic showing the coolant pipes I have saved from one of the 20th aniversary treads. The coolant pipes up forward are inboard quite a bit, but look to turn outboard about half way back. How far outboard they actually go is hard to tell. maybe someone has a better pic of the underside rear part of the floor pan that shows more.

The underbody routing would be the same as with the 88 since the 90 prototype was built on an 88 frame.

Well, its not the same... I just snapped some pics of my 88. My lines in blue 90 proto in red.

It looks like they moved the coolant lines more inboard to get them out of harm's way from the hydraulic lifts.

which is why i want to move em inboard....

I havn't seen any pics of the underside of the 90 prototype, but you can find pics of the car at http://www.centralohfiero.org/

Here's a direct link to the 90 prototype's pics.

I stand corrected. Very interesting. I wonder how it affects the seat mounts and height.

Here's the same pic with the lines removed:

There wouldn't be any change in the seat mounts. As you can see there are already places for the tubes to run, so the floorpan wouldn't need to be modified. It would be a simple matter of making the tubes if you wanted to run the coolant the way the '90 prototype did. For an 88 at least.. I dunno if the "trenches" for the tubes are also there on the pre-88 cars. Anyone got some underbody pics of an 84-87?
