I use a PC so I can't test this myself on a phone... but when you upload an image, isn't that image address then simply put into the text (wherever you happen to be) within your yet to be uploaded post? And then aren't you able to use your Enter key a couple of times to create an empty/blank line before you upload the next image?

No. Cliff upgraded the side for mobile use this week. When on a mobile there is an icon for add image you click it and you can either take a photo or select a picture from your photos on your phone. Just like with Facebook or Instagram. No more need to host the photos on another site and copy the link. I think he’s still working out the kinks.

I understand all that. I've used the new system myself! My earlier questions still apply. (I asked them in more detail Here.)

I also recommend Rodney's underdrive kit with 88 alternator conversion if your car isn't an 88.
Also, the Fiero Store cross-over pipe doesn't have the D-crimp restriction where the 2 become 1. They offer one with a 2.25" down pipe but then you'd need a full 2.25" exhaust to go with it.

Also, the Fiero Store SI valves are narrowed to 7mm at the valve. You can machine the stock ones. You can also order V8 1.8" intake valves for a compression bump and I would have those narrowed to 6 or 7 mm...

I did RD undersrive kid with the 88 alternator. Forgot to mention that. I have SS valves as well

well the old 3.4 bit the dust. looks like I did something wrong when I installed the piston rings? anyone have a guess how the gouges got there? as a result I located another 3.4 and had it professionally built with a custom turbo cam, rebalanced, bored out 1mm, new coated pistons, heads fully done with ss valves and comp cam roller tip rockers and comp cam lifters. engine has since been boosted with a vortech v5 SC.

you couldn't just bore this engine?

I work efficiently. This way I can drop the cradle and swap in the motor all in a day or two in the shop. Not doing it this way meant that I have a motorless car sitting for months in a shop where it can get damaged by others. And money isn't an issue for me. plus the one big gouge is borderline at 1mm, meaning if it was larger then that the block is garbage because the largest size oversize pistons available are 1mm. and because its a broken piston ring I have no idea what else is damaged inside. if its savable it will be rebuilt and kept as a spare. I have a 87 5 speed GT and an 86 ttop both with the same 3.4 sc build.

Looks sexy Jeff! Need to take me for a spin this summer.... Just not on a hot day! I still can't believe you would choose a supercharger over an AC Compressor I guess I am a princess!!

Nice work!
