Dano!! My left eye is still recovering my shingles attack, and I had to see that last pic!!?? LOL...I need more eye drops...
Haha.. That picture is most disturbing.. Maybe if you use something stronger in your eye drops like sulfuric acid you might burn that image out of your eye, but unfortunately the image has been burned into your brain so the damage is already done..
sorry Tommy! i had that one missed labeled. this is the one. ' ' ' ' ' ' '' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' nope, this one! not it!

seems one of us, is trying to become owner of old #7020. GOOD LUCK! i so wish i could give you a run for your money. seems someone needs to out bid you to see the reserve. hope its more than what i paid for Mera X. that one Mera. #7064 i believe, went cheap. i hope this one #7020 sets a price precidence for early Meras. the Rarest of the rare.

i am not sure if these are real....or painted or what. but i thought they looked like the Cromodoras...'cept real F-car. (i think) as Richard calls it. i got this image from a German site somewhere....next to them one pics..... later, D
man everybody is stealing my ideas..... ok so they were first to do it......
he put a wing/spoiler on it...looks cool. now i know i can do it. wonder what the wing came off of ?? i like the color. kinda like wine, burgandy color. SHARP. only $5500. too bad its an '88. as for it being Mera. it looks real close....need more pics. i e-mailed the guy a request.

I sent him an e-mail asking for interior pictures and the MERA build number. I will let everyone know what (if anything) I receive in reply. No answer at the listed phone number either.

All Right who got it?????? Mera 7020 went for $8600. less than i paid for X. whats up with the resale on these!? i guess if they bought 7020 for a swap its the same thing. when talking about the 2.8. guess i answered my own ????soo helpful i am to myself go to the kitcar sites and their panels, with car, mostly the Lambos, are $20,000+. granted they also have V-8's. but, too me a real kitter should be all over these Meras just for the panels. why is this sooo....weird? guess our panels are not close enough to the real thing. this brings a question i asked earlier.
do all Ferrari 308's have the two piece upper rear triangle? on the side view. the "hatchback" part. i think... see the free hand arrows here.. *EDIT* NOPE FOUND IT...straight down from roof...kinda. please disreguard. i's still learning.
i ask this cuz the F-car pic with Ms. Brinkley above seens to not have this feature....or is it just me??? again hit it back Dan
[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 03-25-2010).]
yes dan all real 308's have the hatch triangle you speak of. only deviation is the 288 gto which has a very similar sail panel line but only the rear lid lifts just like a mera.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! MIKE you so crazy..... i was wondering what was up??? i kinda left it.....i am not one to pry.....most times. thats good....i'da missed ya.
I was hoping to meet you at a show or something..... i am trying to get my Brother to help me to get Mera X ready for some roadtrips this summer. thought OK was as far West as i could get. i am gunna leave the 2.8 in and see what she got as far as longevity....how long it will last?? we will see. then hopefully the jobs start by next year!! for the big HP swap.
glad to see you here. Later. D

I always wanted to paint my 308 replica black like this..
What do you all think of a Mera in black.?
Wow, This is my 1987 308, i had her for 3yrs. Sold her a few months back to a buyer in Spain. I have always wanted a black 308 ! Who ever p/s the black paint, nice job !
Try 180 degree headers--F-cars fire on alternating cylinder banks, 180 headers sound like it. There are YouTube vids on the web, give a listen.
OBTW, Fiero/Mera interiors are much better than the F-308s. F-328s got better.
thanks Richard ....180 degree headders you say?? do they sell these at the Fiero Store, hahahaha! i have seen whole F-Car exhaust systems for well over $2300. so if these headders are athuentic F-car. way too expensive for me. would rather have the engine swap. and buy me a coffee with the change.
i am gonna check into a new Fiero only shop near me for some insight.
i want too, in the least, get Mera X to be able to have a worry free summer.
tune up, replace worn parts. and the suspention. the big engine swap will have to wait.
Yeah! a summer of worry free road trips..... car shows, the BIG lake, camping up North in MI Rock n Roll shows in Chicago.CASINOS......
hope this is not too much $$$$?
as far as youtube....i spend way too much time there as is.... i love hooking my computer up to the home theater and cranking up the "Exhaust Note" vids. sometimes it shakes the house....so awesome! thats when i found that "Vacation" vid at....that vid sounds sooo good. then theres the opening of the movie-"CannonBall Run" sooo nice. LAMBO!!!
i have been lookin for a good Exhaust combo for ole X, because its still too cold to work on. i know Wuss.....right. well i am sensitive to the season change.. i mean Winter to Spring and from Summer to Fall only. started when i turned 30 or so. see, a couple weeks ago it was over 60 and i got sick. Lung infection. a combo of bathroon/spring cleaning chemicals, dust/dander and laying on the garages', freezing cold floor. BLAMO! sick. i am feeling way better now. but still *coughsuplung* its there.
anywho, i do not need the medicine anymore so big dad is on the mend....prepare yourselves.... its supposed to be like 70 here next week....its on! or should i say..."its off". time for the sawz-all. and the C.C. lets see what that does later- Dan

I like the gold wheels. I might get my Chromadoras powdercoated this color. Opinions please.......
go for it. only one question tho...will that hurt the collector value?? they are rare. the Pentaspoke Cromodoras. right?? at least try a mock up or PhotoShop if you are curious.
go check out the thread ".....PhotoShop open lets see....." something, something....Nochie will hook it up for you. he realizised Mera X for me. all slammed with a custom paint. even a wing...hes good. check it out. Dan
[This message has been edited by batousai666 (edited 03-28-2010).]
dan to get the sound your looking for run stainless 409 custom equal length headers into dual primaries then to a tubi stainless chambered muffler. sound is distinctly european. probably around $3500.00 for the setup or just throw in a sbc or a nstar for same money lol

Funny. yeah...anything can happen for money... i am a little short this year, already. hahahaha! its cool you mention Tubi. theres a Youtube vid of a real nice 308 (crimson colored) dyno'ing with the Tubi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z45rb9iA_CQ *EDIT*
thats the sound. right there. they are puttin the hammer to it. AWESOME!
when i had a steady job. the money was great, cept no car. i did alot of traveling then. Coast to Coast one year...sooo fun. every year from 1997-2005....early 2006 is when i started to notice alot more "free time" it was good then. more time to get aqaintied with my mew digs....but now esh....cant stay employed for 6 months straight. its killing me... ohh well at least once its nice out all the time i will have something to do. work on the car. i need to get my temp gauge fixed. this summer i am going to drive the crap out of it. later Dan

It would be nice to see a picture of the Chromodora's on a Mera "shopped" in gold. Maybe using "Fiero in Pairdise's" car since it looks like mine. Anyone who can do this?
I am going for the duller magnesium gold color of the "Scuderia" Ferrari wheels. I could always have them powdercoated silver again later. I just think it will look good with the beechwood leather interior of my car. Possibly adding Fiero "Shields" on the front fenders from "Fierosails" along with yellow center caps with the Fiero Pegasus on the wheels. Sort of a "Fierorrari" look.
Hopefully some of you Mera folks can look at this and see if it is a true Mera. The badging is all present but his interior looks just like a stock Fiero. No leather seats or accents on the doors or center consoles. Make sure to see the larger pictures lower in the page. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...?hash=item2eac0b46e2
Edit to add.....I've never seen a Mera plate on the intake before.

the interior looks Mera. door extention, mirror's with proper controller. even has the Cromodoras, right guys?? which are rare on an '87. *******EDIT* nope they are close....i like these rims. wait, are they real F-Car????*********** the seats are probabally a swap out, i am thinking. but according to the Mera sales brouchure....i think the leather is a Fiero option, not Mera per sae. so alls good with this one. I WANT IT SO BAD! then theres that one in CA. the burgandy one.
he sent me this:
took a minute cuz it was way large, 3000X3000 and the such. it took me awhile to figure why it would not load. freakin huge pic. this is a 75% reduction and its still big.wow. he sent more but they are very vauge. far away shots and all dark. seems elusive so i let it go. it's an '88 anyway. no harm no foul.
