Hey Madcurl... You should cruise with us down to San Diego for the BBQ on July 30th. Are you going to be in town?... Bring that nice ride of yours... like the one sitting at WCF

Sorry, but my boss demands at least a month notice.
By chance you have any old welding usable gas tanks you want to get rid of? with a regulator on it. Smallest (50lb or so) it can be empty-- of course.. Maybe the trip to San Diego I can take it off your hands... And of course, willing to pay for it. ------------------

Headers look great Steve, you haven't lost your touch!
I had a chance to ride and drive the convertable in the previous pages. It had to be the most solid feeling convertable Fiero that I've ever been in. A helluva lot of fun to drive!
I have a question about the acuators used on Curlys car. Can the travel be adjusted? Lets say I need 5" travel and they only come in 4" or 6". Do they have some sort of "stufer" or adjuster? I am VERRRY interested in the headers and F40 LS4 combo I got an LS1 intake for mine but shelved it for now.
I LOVE the Fbody power steering in my 88GT. I have the LS1 V8 rack or the WS6 packaged rack. It has a faster ratio than the V6 rack that came in the Firebirds and Camaro's. I installed a rack in another 88GT that is from the V6 Camaro. It's ratio is slower so the car does not "feel" as snappy. And the steering effort is much lighter too. So IF you want less steering effort, get the V6 version. IF you want snappy steering, get the V8 version. They look exactly the same so you have to actually turn the steering input shaft from side to side and count the number of rotations to make sure you have the rack you want. The V8 is about 2.25 turns lock to lock and the V6 is about three turns lock to lock. Both racks are better than the stock Fiero rack.
More info plz! N/M, I found it. Man a lot has changed in the few yrs I have been away!

I'm not sure, but I would guess the coil pack will be located either on the right side (were the battery once was) or on the left side near the intake tube. From talking to WCF the owner wanted to go "hard core" on this build. He eliminated the plenum cover (thus exposing the ugly valve covers), purchased after market valve covers with the unwanted bolts holes, and drive-by-wire system. Thus when he floors the gas it won't hesitate. There's a lot more goodies not mentioned no doubt.

It has the "old school" cable TB too. Painted plastic maniflold? I do like the covers, would you know the brand name? I like the bolt holes on them, what do you mean by "unwanted bolt holes"? I would CNC "Fiero GT" on them and be happy with a Fiero Red finnish on them and some SS Torx head bolts. I dont know about all the Silver? That depends on the car color. But I sure like what has been done to it so far.
Last I talked with Chris , I think he said they planed on using the LS coil relocation bracket from CBM (Custom Built Motors ) and mounting on the end of the heads .
I believe those are Mast Motorsports valve covers from the picture.
I will be in town on Thur, will anyone be there? I need to get one last thing done to the Fiero before the Coast Run. Talk about down to the wire, we are going on Fri.

Hello, there was a recent thread discussing this car a little while ago where it sat for a long time and is now sold to a new owner. no idea where that thread is. Thanks Norm
