I like your dream combinations especially the moon roof, headlamps, and G6 interior (first I've heard of so far).

Question: Would you'd say, by the example of Troyboy's headlamp being on the car, made your decision to go with the NSX?

This is my first post in a long time.

I would start out with a 88 coupe, maroon with t-tops.
1. LS7, I don't know if it would fit, but I would try, and hopefully shoe horn that thing in there.
2. Custom BLACK leather from mikes
3. 18-19" chrome five spoke rims (don't want to go too California)
4. Put a small, tasteful spoiler on the rear.
5. 6 speed tranny out of a 4th gen F-body
6. Don't know to much about brakes but...good brakes.
7. 12 disc CD changer AND a plug n' play port for ANY mp3 player
8. Bose speakers with a small (tasteful) sub.
9. Seat warmers/ventilation, remote start, navigation system, lombard,
10. AND heavily tinted window.
11. Almost forgot, complete suspension overhaul, try to at least get it to 1 G on the skid pad.

Yep, thats it, pretty much a sleeper, unless you can hear it

Yeah, I own a little econo Fiero, nothing special really

Your first one reminds with blue paint and strips reminds of Rickaddy's Fiero minus the add-ons you've mentioned. It seems you you're leaning towards wide bodies vs. Stock body?

Hmm. A couple of "sleepers" on board. That's the same idea Mr. TV had in mind with his 600+ LT1 (sleeper). Although his rims size is smaller vs. the 18-19 combos. He viewed his car as a 'sleeper" but that was far from it IMO. You could hear him a mile away. Plus it was paited red.

Question. What about your interior, would it be tweeked? Since you've mentioned that it would be tinted.

i just outdid myself.. :P
a bone stock 85cp with factory steelies, w/ a built dsm 4G63T swap huge turbo, fmic in trunk, 2.3 stroke kit, forged and treated everything, big injectors, engine managment, stutter box, timer, gears, cams, no exaust. 800-1000HP 4cyl that looks stock and sounds like crap. call all of the rich kids up and tell them your fiero vs. thier supras, f430s, gallardos, what ever. for pinks.

hmmmm... let me think.

fastback
17" 18" magnesium wheels (staggered of course) and low-pro Y-rated tires
14" Brembo brakes
widebody to give it an agressive stance
fixed headlights (non flippy ones)
flat underside with front and rear diffusers and venturi tunnels (functional of course)
Cadillac Northstar with VVT and a redline to over 8000rpm with a full titanium exhaust system (dual exhaust)
coilover suspension all around
Koni shocks and struts
tubular control arms
Sparco racing seats
Sparco suede steering wheel
short shifter
racing pedals
3" chop with rear glass but with lexan instead of glass
Tubular titanium frame
replace all windows with lexan
Mclaren F1 type doors
carbon fiber body panels
redesigned interior (similar to a Pagani Zonda F)
rear back up camera
decklid and hood vents
NSX 6-speed transmission
poly bushings

I think that's everything.

I think I remember that car, one of the most amazing I've seen from a technical stand point. I forgot I was talking about fieros when I said 18-19, its a smaller car than a F-body, so I would have to go with 17-18. Interior? I do like the seats in the fiero, and how the instrument cluster is seperate from the dash, but... I think I would do a Firebird interior, or something like a mix of stock with 3000GT dash, ect. I love the stock fiero look, I don't especially care for a sleeper, I just like stock.

i'm currently 26, so i guess i'm disqualified....

but that allows me to say that if i had 30K to play with, i can't say what i'm up to 'cause it's a secret.... he he he

it'll blow peoples minds, unfortunately none will see it till after the 25th, i very much doubt i'll be able to make that deadline

can say this though, it'll have over 600 hp

Geezs, that suck since the 25th is perhaps the biggest and most important meet for all Fiero owners. I hope you can "get'r done" within 18 months otherwise, you'll have to wait until the 30th.

quote Originally posted by madcurl: Oh baby! That's some good ingredients . Question. What type of side vents? None?

oops I forgot that. The vents have to be symmetrical. C6 Zo6 type fender vents to allow more efficient front brake cooling, and side intakes similar to a Ferrari F50 but with a little bit of Koenigsegg CCX thrown in there. And some 355 tail lights. Maybe also routing the exhaust similar to a Laraki Fulgara. Boy do I need to win the lottery...

For 30k, I'd get rid of the fiero and get either a used NSX, jag XK8 or a brand new Miata convertible + a case of beer + a weekend in Vegas with a stop at the Bunny Ranch

Heh, madcurl completely ignored my post.

After seeing the pictures, I've decided on mine... I'd make my '87 GT into a replica of the '90 prototype. That's what I'd do. Screw ricing it up with, well, I won't point fingers... or swapping for a bigger and less efficient engine... I'd make it into something uber modern! Those pictures of the '90 Fiero car were so refreshing, hold so much potential... it's begging "Build me! Build me!". I was looking for a way to make the interior more modern...

"Semper Fiero"

No, no... there was just one Fiero I saw somewhere on the forum that was so extremely awesome-ified it became nearly impractical. I absolutely love the car... it's just one of those cars that's like "NO, you can't drive it, you'll ruin it! It's not a driving car!"...

Oh ok, that makes more sense.

Nope. I didn't. It was a dual-car 30k dream and it tokk more time to look at it, hehe. Here's what I'v noticed.

quote Originally posted by Tinton: 30k to spend on what I want in a Fiero? Does it have to be in 1 Fiero? -1986 Fiero SE- Engine: 3.4L DOHC V6 (LQ1) turbocharged. Brakes: Grand Am or LeBaron upgrade all around. Is there a brake upgrade where I can keep the ebrake? Exterior: Repaint the body panels in Metallic blue. I'd try to get some smooth molding on there somehow, yet keeping the Aero Notchback look. I'd probably also get some scoops from Aus. Wheels: 17x7 front and 17x8 rear wheels, in chrome. 225/45/17 front tires, 245/40/17 rear tires. bass speakers from a 4th gen F-body to put in the doors, replacing the mappockets. 1988 Fiero GT: Engine: 4.6L DOHC Northstar V8. 300 hp version. Transmission: 6-speed manual from NSX (West Coast Fieros). Brakes: Corvette 13" brakes all around. I really wish they could keep the ebrake. Exterior: Nothing. Possibly a re-paint in the same color paint, since its old. Wheels: Same 17" wheels that are currently on the car. Same tires.

Hmm. Very nice items on the list especially the N* 6-speed NSX tranny and 13" brakes but, it seems there's nothing to match on the outside of the car? What would you do to make the exterior "pop"? I believe the Aus scoops PRODUCTION has ended? Wheels? Width/size? Anything wider that 8"?

Aus scoops production has ended!? NOOOOOOOOOO! Those were the only scoops I wanted, .

I think the exterior of these cars "pops" enough stock, if painted nice they look very clean and smooth without any mods, IMO. The '88 GT gets plenty of looks as it is, being that its the only Fiero around here I've seen besides my '86 SE. To bring the '86 SE up to date it just needs some good monotone paint (keep the trim black), it needs to have the backs of the glass sailpanels cleaned so the "ghost adhesive" goes away, and it needs its tail lights cleaned.

Both cars would probably look a lot like sleepers. I might put a single vent in the hood on the '86 to draw air out of the radiator and to relieve air pressure up there at high speeds. Everything else body-wise I want stock. That way both cars will still look like sleepers .

Wheels, I don't want to go too extreme since I'm trying to stay realistic. Now that I think about it though, the 235 width rear tires on the '88 probably can't hold the N* to the road. I'm probably want to go up to like 275's with 18x9 rear wheels, while keeping the fronts at 225 with 17x7.5 wheels. The '86 I'd probably do the same, but with different color/style wheels.

i'm 27 but i would buy the car from this thread https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/062900.html choptop targatop it and custom make a body that almost looks like a fiero with collapsable gullwing doors. i would recess the front headlights inside a custom front bumper similar to yellowstones. ( but with the headlights behind the grill). the lail lights i would use a very fine wire mesh, or metal screen over the lenses but painted the color of the car... as for the color... that's what would set the whole thing off... almost like dupli-color's ice kit mirage paint. i would paint the entire car that color and i would get black 17' front rims and 18" rears all deep dish... then i would have the rims painted only on the lips with the color of the car. that's just the outside look but honestly i don't have time right now to go into the interior, engine or suspension.... maybe later if i have time to kill... i have the whole car mapped out on paper with a price tag to go with it... when i was done it would be about $28,000. it would be a crazy looking car, a real head turner.

Nice. So you'd basically would have a streched Wide body Fiero? Cool.

quote Originally posted by madcurl: Hmm. So taking bit and pieces from various cars and continued tweeking on those items is the way to go for you? Question, how would you install the NSX headlamps using existing Fiero bumper? With the items you've mentioned, how wide would your tire/rim be?

Well since I would have a custom front bumper, most likely fiber glass the installation probably would go a lot like on troy boys ride. The existing bumper being urathane, I can see an installation being very trickky to make it clean. The tries wouls be 18x8 in front and 18x8 ir 19x8.5 in rear with 225s up front, and 255 in the rear. the stagger would look great but the unsprung weight doesnt sound to good.

that would be a VERY used NSX, as i havent seen a running one with under 150k for any less than $35,000

XK8, i hope you have another 30k to keep it running :]

the third thing sounds pretty good tho, although i wouldn't pick the miata probably

quote Originally posted by madcurl: Nice. So you'd basically would have a streched Wide body Fiero? Cool.

kinda... the gullwings would throw things off a bit and so would trying to find the lights. Like i said... similar to a fiero... if your not a fiero junkie you would never know. no pop-up headlights, and the gullwings need side and top support... i would probably go for split side windows like the countach or like this
but i would use the dodge stealth wing... they seem to look hot on a fiero. like this one...

(for the record the SVX is the only "Scooby-Roo" i like.)

I don't know if this would actually make 30k or more but here we go.

1. Pay someone to fit the 3.6L DOHC with the g6 6sp auto in it. OR pay someone to fit the new G6 6sp auto to a N*

2. Fashion a proper tapshifter like ryan.hess has

3. HMS slalom suspension ( fender flares too)

4. Koni coilovers in the rear... 88 car

5. flushmount headlamps

6. twin nostril vents on the hood

7. The mad-arch fender over quarter rear flare system.

8. Widest tires i could fit with split spoke rims

9. Stage 2 side scoops

10. spoilerless or small rear lip

11. power steering with a quickener

12. small 13 or 12 inch wheel with flat bottom

13. relocate the batt, strut braces, hunking sway bars, 3 point harness, mr. mike's leather etc

Basically I want to exploit the fiero base to it's fullest potential while still keeping original lines and look and accentuating what I think the designers would have done if their hands weren't tied by budget.
