Hey guys. Things have been real hectic with me moving out, my parents moving, and family vacations. I still don't have the Fiero running, although it's pretty close. There is a bunch of little stuff that I have never done before like hook up Fiero A/C compressor, fuel lines, throttle cable, oil cooler lines, transmission cooler lines. Now, the hard part is done, and I just need someone to help me with the rest of this. In return for your work, I'll give you a 1987 Honda Accord DX 5spd. It has some problems but was my daily driver until recently. When you push the accelerator it makes a sucking sound and dies, like a vacuum leak or something. Other than that it ran great and still idles great, shifts great, etc. It has a Flowmaster 2.25" catback on it, and all emissions equipment is removed. It's ready for a cold air intake (all the crap that used to connect to the manifold has been dealt with, including PCV). All you have to do is get my Fiero drivable - we will work on it together. Let me know if you're interested.

Biddlyump.

P.S. The Honda now has all new fuel lines and an aftermarket see-through fuel filter in the engine bay. I know it's tempting..!

I fixed the honda today - it was a loose primary booster venturi, and I forgot a spring in the accelerator pump which didn't help either.
It is a fully working car now.

Ya might wanna talk to MinnGreen and his bunch; surely someone they know can use a good transportation car. I'd take you up on it, but Tennessee and Minnesota are just a little far to commute, and the Lear is down this week...

If you were closer I would jump on this in a heart beat.

A free bump for you.

I just took a 340 mile road trip to Sioux Falls and back and it made it perfectly. I can't believe nobody has taken me up on this yet.

I'd help you out if I weren't busy with getting my own swap finished before school starts.... Although I think $100 cash is more enticing than an '87 honda to a fiero board... j/k (well not really)

free bump though

The motor's in and so are the axles. I need help with routing hoses and finishing the little things:
-heater hoses
-A/C
-throttle cable
-shift linkage
-oil cooler lines
-fuel lines
-transmission cooler lines
-passenger coolant line

both Kyle and I have really run out of motivation.

..and the Honda is worth much more than $100.
