i have decided not to go to jefferson next weekend. its just a little far for me to go when my car really isnt ment for all the cruising around. i am going to take it to the track on the 18th, they are having the mid-night drags which is a little more fitting for my fiero.
ya'll have a good time and be safe!!!!

Tony,
That gives me Goosebumps. Great buidup thread that you had earlier. So what are the hp/torque No.s estimated (or dynoed). This looks like a REAL bulletproof setup where you'lle never have to even think of the tranverse tranny inadequacies and you can just concentrate on slowly bumping up the power. Nice looking work all around.

revin - by my figures you only got 6 min 42 sec of your 15 min of fame with your car, i wont go to the ruckus were you can get the rest of your much needed exposer.

bazooka - not sure, but alot more than i had!!!

hugh - i cant describe what impact you have had on me doing this project. your car (before you did the 3800sc swap) was what motived me into doing this swap. all i can say is thank you. and what about your project, i know you got somethnig in the works thats going to blow us all away?!!!

Was the transmission mounted that way to keep the weight balance alittle better? keep more weight up front for traction?

How much HP do you expect from this setup?

what makes this a car that wasnt ment for cruising? (besides the wheelie bars)

what kinda gas milage do you expect it to get?

yes

How much HP do you expect from this setup?

guessing around only 450hp on the motor, but the spray..... right now it has 350hp jets in it. yes the motor will handle it.

what makes this a car that wasnt ment for cruising? (besides the wheelie bars)

no insurance

what kinda gas milage do you expect it to get?

i get feet to the gallon not miles!!!!

matthew


fieromadman- going to the track this weekend.
$rich$- sorry, 1999 honda prelude
boricuasoy- as above, maybe 450hp on motor, plus 350 more with the spray. this weekend i am starting out with 150hp spray and working up from there.

thanks everyone for the kind comments!!!!
