Well life happens and I am not going to be racing anytime soon. I would like to find it a good home. I was told it weighs in at about 2100 lbs through careful dieting. I have not put is on scales but i can see how they may have achieved it. It is NOT street legal and has been heavily modified/reinfornced/lighten for racing. A few of the many details: tubular front A frames hyme joints wherever possible and poly bushings for the few remaining joints Custom coil overs on all 4 corners, shocks custom valved by Koni for this car. Griffen racing radiator, oil catch can and oil cooler 3.4l DOHC on a close ratio 5sp from an Achieva Full cage, race seat and harness. Motor has about 11k on it ( originally was a crate from GM. Internals are stock, except for a custom intake (350ci throttle body) and exhaust (2.5" fully tuned equal length). I do know it is very fast and I am sure my neighbors did not really appraciate the quality of the soundtrack as much as I did. Fortunately they are understanding and I did not abuse their patience and only drove it a few time through the sub. i do not want to part this out and while it is taking up garage space i am not going to give it away. I am listing it, the spare hubs, extra wheels, extra 3.4L (needing to be rebuilt), parts tranmission and more for $3500 adding a couple pics. The wheels in the picture were replaced with Team Dynamics Lightweight Racing Wheels <IMG SRC="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h256/carbonfiber_kid/88%20Fiero/Dana3.jpg"> <IMG SRC="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h256/carbonfiber_kid/88%20Fiero/1007Fiero066.jpg"> here is a link to more pictures <A Class="HTMLBodyLink" HREF="http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h256/carbonfiber_kid/88%20Fiero/?start=all" TARGET=_blank>http://s66.photobucket.com/...8%20Fiero/?start=all</A> link should be working now[This message has been edited by carbonfiber_kid (edited 01-19-2012).]</TD></TR><TR Class="HTMLAltCol1"><TD valign=top>nitroheadz28</TD><TD>Nice interior for a race car <IMG SRC="http://www.fiero.nl/forum/smile.gif">, great price GLWS!!
