Not only do you own a page, you have the 3000th post in this thread.

No real plans for the car yet.

Archie

Archie..C4 Brackets

A big thanks to Archie! I got to stop by his shop on the way to visit the Fox Valley boys. He is one of the nicest guys you will meet. He showed me around the shop including his LS powered Solstice....sweet! Looks like it should have been there from the factory. I also got to see his white choptop. Funny...his body mods don't fall off when it goes down the road like mine does... Oh well, I guess that is one big difference between a professional and a con man. He also inspected my choptop. Altough the welds are "there" they aren't pretty but they look safe.

popping in to say that it was good to see Archie at the 30th. Always enjoy our once every 5 year handshake...!

Oay, I gotta ask...What's up at Archie's??? That is since the last post?

Archie did Chuck get his wheel fixed yet ??



Ouch.

"The front wheels are 18x8 with a 22.2mm+ offset
The rear wheels are 19x11 with a 9.5mm+ offset
Rear tire size is 315-25ZR-19"

** Plus some other tire wheel specs from some other fiero widebodies "

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/064001-17.html

Okay, here are a few of the specs someone asked for many months ago;

----- Original Message -----
#022 (Troy's) fronts are: 19x8.5, 35mm off-set with a 7" inner and 1.5" outer.

#011: Rears are 20x9.5 37.7mm off-set, 7"inners and 2.5" outers.

Caution: #011 is extremly close to the rear strut knockle perch using Ryans suspension (maybe closer than Troy's?. It maybe better to a 38, 39 or better 40mm off-set. Remember I have a 8" rear springs and not the 10" rear springs. I'm not sure of what #013 has on the rear. As you know Archie, you need the shorter springs to clear using Troy's rear set-up.

5/8" worth of clearance between the wheel and the rear strut.

While I didn't think much of it at the time, his past week we did something at the shop that we've never done before.

LOL, Clem, I know you're not serious.

quote Originally posted by Bloozberry: Left a stock engine in a car? LOL.

No, Sorry, 2 times in the past I've done that.

quote Originally posted by exoticse: i am betting it was working on a stock engine ?

No, I changed spark plugs in a 2.8 once.

Jack is the Winner!!!!

First time I or We have ever replaced a stock bad 2.8 with a good stock 2.8.

Archie

Hey Archie!!! I found some of your pets in the car if you want them back! John needs a set of the rear sail window trim parts, SELL HIM SOME!!! I have no stock ones here to modify so using yours also saves a ton of time!!!

Nope buddy, those aren't our pets. Our pets are a whole lot smarter than to fall for that peanut butter trick.

The one I saw, running off, when it was delievered here was pretty darkly tanned & was dragging a 40# bag of Pot.

Me thinks they started a colony during the 6 years it sat in the TX field at Loydes.

Archie

Archie,

Need a set of the C4 seat brackets as we discussed...please

LOL!! funny!!!!!

So what's up ???

I'm on a road trip, I'll be back in about 10 days, so hold your water , I'll get back to you.

Archie

Archie,

No most of those are an error from when I sent out a mass PM to everyone about the door panels being ready...it reproduce the PM like 10 times to everyone and put a bunch of HTML code in the PM as I have been told...not being impatient this time

quote [B]Originally posted by Archie: I'm on a road trip, I'll be back in about 10 days Archie

Did somebody say road trip ?... Nobody called me, we have had a couple of good trips together but I'm not sure I could do 10 days...

Did you go out west?

Hmmmmm,.....looks like chuck aka motorTV is testing a little switcherooie with his GT and notchback wheels ??

Archie was this while his damaged wheel was being repaired ?



Either set looks hot !

V8 in this I'm sure. I really need to hit a lottery or something. So many beautiful Fieros and mods that my list keeps growing but not the cash flow.
