I’m getting older and finally had time after 8 long years of stuff my wife piling stuff on top of my old 88 GT to bring her back to life ! I thought I would share some photos of it to some fellow Fiero lovers like me 😎[img]https://images.fiero.nl/userimages/Dccarguy05/8F773 B06-7350-4127-8980-1252DCCD81BE.jpeg[/img]This images is larger than 153600 bytes.

The images (that have shown up) are great! Here's a tip for posting images at PFF.

To allow your images to present properly (including the ones that currently aren't appearing at all), press your Enter key twice after each image upload. Otherwise, the image URL address gets corrupted on some of them (a gap is created in the address), and they then don't show up. Also try and keep the file size for each image below 2000 KB to avoid an image icon (which then needs to be clicked to view the image).

It may not be quite as noticeable on a phone (where you probably only see one image at a time on the screen), but on a PC monitor, the way the current images are presented is kind of a mess.

You can easily fix your post by clicking on EDIT and making these changes.

Congrats! Many never even reach the point of done, as the rest of us are in a never ending "build" process.

Was changing the springs needed for the 1.6 roller swap or something you decided to do while apart?

Headers and crossover pipe are from Chris at West Coast Fiero’s . I decided to put a bigger Crower cam in the 3.4 block with the Fiero store SI valves and Crower’s springs & hardware package together with Summit’s 1.6 roller rockers. The block is bored & decked with high compression pistons and chrome moly rings. Believe it or not passed California smog with no problems! It runs and drives great but has a idle search problem only when cold tho.

The conventional wisdom is that higher compression increases NOx. Would you mind posting your smog report? There are at least two of us currently struggling to get our nearly-stock 2.8s to Pass, due to high NOx.

Add-on ... are the West Coast Fiero headers smog approved and have a sticker?? I don't see how these could otherwise pass Visual Inspection.
