now is that a nice clean install

Check out the nice tubing.


Check out the crew that helped with making it happen.

We have trans filter, plug wires, brakes, exhaust and car is done. We tested the wiring and turned it over and all is good.

I used the Fiero alternator bracket and used the 97 GTP dogbone bracket and had them welded together.

Thanks,

Intake was from a 88-91 honda CRX. I got it off Ebay for 30.00 with cheap filter. I used a 3" rubber tube from the tb to tube and got it from home depot.

I tried that intake...... trust me when I say "your gonna hate it"

Try a stock intake or something, when I tried that intake it, for some reason, restricted the intake so much that it bogged on take off. In fact I've tried four differnt types of intakes and that one was the worst as far as restriction. I thought it would've been the best, but the differnce in performance was unbelievable. It did sound nice though, it amplifies the whine a bit.

You must have a death wish or something, posting pics like that last one. O wait, you dont have a deathwish, thats right, you were the one who got scared when a certain Fiero got a little bit sideways at 50 mph. O well. Nice install though, now it just needs to run.

when its done I might let to take it for a spin to show you some real speed. I drove Tim's N* and all I can say is WOW...

Tim finished the Shifter bracket last night. We only need to make plug wires, Trans filter and fill, Connect AC line, fill with R134, Exhaust. Hope to have it running tonight. I'm going to borrow a friends Digital Video camera so I can post Video's of the start up...

Thats funny. Its not like he needs the credit anymore.. Comments like that make SKI look like a REAL A$$ HoLe. It just makes me feel like a real dumb a$$ to ever ask him for help. FIERO STS is the real Fiero GOD if there ever was one. He doesn't need a thread to say look at me I have an ego problem. If ski had a dick maybe his ego would not be so bad. Flame me all you want. Think about the $hit you post. Makes you look really shallow doesn't it.
