Update... I have moved the whole shebang into the garage dang that wasnt light, I got my wiring harness hooked up but still need questions answered (Phonedawgz)??? I got my Crane Cams 8.5 mm spark plug wire, its the lowest resistance wire available and its cut it yourself. I replaced my front wheel bearings and put my Grand Am swap on. I have grand am rotors drilled, and the nice calipers done. I repeat the front end is done! I also am having my machinest make block off plates for the egr and that ugly vacuum thing on top of the blower. He's also going to flatten the stock auto shifter so that works, and hes starting to drill my motor mounts from fiero X. Here's pics of the brake swap and rims... (Im redoing the front suspension in the winter, the rear is super nice tho) Comments?

Want some advice on exhaust... Could someone send me a vid of the common exhaust set up meaning the big square muffler 1 in 2 out? And does anybody have a vid of using just 2 tubular inline mufflers? No cat would be preferable, since I wouldnt run one, and I do want it louder. Lets see what you got!

How are you planning on doing this?

Also, what Q's are you referring to?

For the sub box there is plenty of room in the passenger footwell with the seat back, so I just measured the area and will use probably 3/4 inch MDF wood and maybe practice some fiber glass. The port will be forward facing near the door on the right side, I will keep you updated. The Q's are what I posted earlier in my thread I still need answers to those. Thanks.

quote Originally posted by IanT720: I suppose its time to talk about the look im going for with "Lola"... I'm really trying for it to be like a factory Prototype fiero let me explain... First off I'm rebadging the car as a Fiero SS since there was never a SS fiero but there could have been right? So I like to think if there was ever a fiero SS this is how they would do it... The 3800 engine was around at the time, they could have always put 18's on it, They could have always added a bigger badder roof scoop, They could have had a special black interior, They could always have lowerd the car, they could have always modded the tailights for a different look, they could have always painted it Velocity Yellow (Corvette Z06 Yellow) and so on... So my nickname for her is Lola, but it will be officially a Fiero SS.

I admit I am Cadillac illiterate so I have very little knowledge of them
I believe I got those right - I'm sure there are smarter guys on here than I that know a lot more car history but...

I don't recall SS being on a Pontiac

I want to see more of this sub box. Maybe a drawn diagram or something.

Alright just measured and drew up something quick, The box will be 12" tall in the front with a 5" flat before going on a slope where its 8" tall in the rear. The box will be 12" deep then angle to be 8" deep. The end will be 10" wide then angle to a 20' wide front. Here's some diagrams to explain and it will be my first fiberglass project... And here's my sub...

A big thanks to hercimer01, I finnaly understand the cooling system. I'm using the stock alt braket and a modified T-Stat, so the drivers side coolant tube connects to the modified T-stat, and a heater hose does too. The passenger coolant tube goes to the water pump inlet, and the other heater hose get T'd into that. Then I will just loop together both heater hoses comming out of the 3800's atl braket just because it's easier then blocking off.

OK Now I am understanding. Just something to throw at ya... Have you considered Bandpass? Since your talking about porting and it being in the footwell (you dont want a passenger to kick the sub), why not do a bandpass box with a slotted port on 1 end. For example take the design you have but modify it some. Do something similar to this. Click Here

That is a cool Idea but I'm not sure the sub will fit in there, and building a good band pass is a little advanced for me. Thanks for the idea though, I will be fitting a subwoofer grill too.

Might I suggest a cleaner set of fuel rails to make that engine pop? See my thread here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/063387.html

Oh yeah I will get those for sure later on just need to save my money for exhaust setup.

Best part about them is that you can use the Transport Stainless lines your using now, so it's an easy swap. -Jason

Perfect! just need some extra cash first haha.
