Well my select cable i bought from the fiero store about 4-6 months ago is already broken... So i bought a new one from Rodney and i hope to have that fixed by next week. I am waiting on a pressure sensor so i can finish wiring up the a/c and then tackle wiring up the new electronic cruise. I have a few visions with what im going to do to the interior. I want to keep the stock fiero look but just update it a little bit so i have some drawings i need to finish up and start mocking up the general idea. Other than that things are pretty quiet with my car. My dads 355 kit has been getting all of my time to get robs dash installed so ive been busy.
Nothing really new to report... Just been doing small things like installing a new mirror and building a sub box for a friend.Tomorrow i will be redo'ing my wire harness and finally getting around to put finishing touchs on the swap it self. Next on the looong list will be to install some fog lights ive had in the garage for awhile. I also have to cut a non sunroof fiberglass headliner out to fit my car so i can get that recovered. My seats are getting recovered with ultra suede in the middle and ultra leather on the outter with headrest speakers. And along with that trying to install Amidas dash and VDO gauges in the 355. SO ive got a lot of work to get done haha. Then after thats all done it goes back to the paintshop to fix some minor blemishes then on to the window tinting. so my car seems like it never wants to be finished haha.

Maybe space the wheels out a tad. My 18" Porsche wheels used 1" front & 2 1/4" rear. If I remember right my IFG 355 kit is wider than the AD at the rear.
so you spent the money on go fast parts... motor swap... your dad spent the money on looking nice.. lol interesting to see how two different generations think

Any room for a brother or long lost cousin as you have a cool family of cars there. Excellent work on both yours and your fathers car. Congratulations on your well modified fieros your living the dream we all have.
Nothing too new here going on. Life has me swamped and school just adds to it. The paint job i got on the car is going to have to be re done but i dont want to give her back just yet haha. So i will upate this thread when more progress or something new comes along.
Well I am finally about to be finished rebuilding a steering rack and getting my car back on the road. Then it's off on the quest for the ac to quit leaking! I bought rodney's no play sway bar endlinks and i have to install those. But other than that i have been enjoying my car!

Well I am back home for the summer. There will be updates to this thread in the near future. I have some plans for this summer that I hope i can complete before i have to go back to school. Just a bump back to the top for the newer people who may have missed this thread.
Forgot one so i add it in the post above. I am bummed out because i was planning on doing a custom center console and dash piece this summer but due to my headers having a nice crack in it i will not have the money for them. I bought headers and after 10,000 miles on the they are rusted and my rear side has a nice crack. I havent checked the front side because i havent taken then wrap off. Im just pissed that the 600 dolalrs or so i spent on them is wasted. I will try to contact them and see what they say. And so i bought the real carbon pieces above to satisfy myself with the stock interior and i will say it does make a difference over the cheap sticker imitation.
I had a great idea that i haven't seen done and if someone is good at photoshop i wonder if they could modify the radio section so i can see what my idea looks like.

I bought some Toyota Celica mirrors that will be replacing the 80s look of the fiero mirrors. They are the same ones on Whodeanie's DD and I'm just waiting on Dean's water jet guy to cut out the mount. I'm happy to almost be completely satisfied with the outside of my car. Seems like the projects and modding never ends haha.

Here is my new head unit my brother gave me. It is a Kenwood KVT-514 and it is pretty sweet. I can add navigation and bluetooth to it if i wanted to. I just have my ipod hookup right now. And DVD's look and sound great with my system.
