had to start new thread, my original is turning into a build thread so heres the link of everything so far, and i am now continuing. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/055402.html I finally got my new headers on and darrell morses ported tb on today and got it running. sounds vey nice. havent got it out driving yet as im still workin on lambo doors. still need to port top plenum to match tb and i know till then im gonna have bad air flow since its not, but im going for a trueleo so it can wait. also the wcf y-pipe is actually 2 1/4" coming out of collector area (by the sensor area) but reduces to 2" for the flange to weld to and original downpipe to bolt to, when i get my exhaust redone im gonna cut off reducer and go straight 2 1/2" the whole way. mandrel bent too, not the crappy bends i have now. also headers are hi temp painted look nice but have scratches and isnt as nice has chrome or jet hot coating. lambo doors are also hard to do. but itll work i guess. door panels seem to hit here and there but i might be able to get away with it with a lil grinding, this kit is not a direct bolt on so thats why it doesnt fit as nicely. but customizing took place to make it bolt on but prob doesnt work as well as others. heres a pic of my engine bay of dm's ported tb, wcf long tube headers, and crx cai installed. note its gonna get trueleo intake and id like to find smooth valve cover like alum ones and a strut tower brace with those three pieces powder coated the color of my car when i get it painted. yes i would recommend these headers to anyone ill get a video when i get a chance of it all.
oh and i would also recommend darrell morses tb to everyone as well he does amazing work, if i didnt know better id say that tb was brand new. not one speck of dirt on it.

i dont believe he has one anymore, i actually bought it from a guy who bought it from him, however he is on the forum and still makes them along with boring the upper plenum.
just took her out todat for first time in at least a month, wasnt raining either, took me like half hour to bleed clutch, didnt bother putting trunk back on or couldnt put drivers side door panel on since i dont have handles anymore and havent installed sylenoids yet, i know i spelt that wrong. just my luck it started to rain. well drivers side door is now on, works good, just need to move hinge a lil more out on top more. ill post more pics when i can.

alright guys just bought my trueleo intake, should get it soon, hope to redo exhaust in 2.5" mandrel bent tube, hope to do a bolt on system, then get fuel pressure reg, and get her dynoed and tuned, should get 170-180 at wheels?
i was thinking 19's up front and 20's in rear, also that color for paint i wanna use on new trueleo intake and valve covers, also i wanna paint dash trim pieces that color too, i dont wanna go over board with it though, thinking about chroming headers someday and having the wcf chrome side door trim pieces too, wanna do a kandy lime green metallic, black and chrome look, but mostly the green.

but not chrome in back, but theres no way i could get a choptop, i sat in one once, and theres no way id fit, i have plenty headroom now, but with only 3" chop, i have to slouch way down. id be nice though, what i really like to do is a targa top
new engine pic with the trueleo, not running right its not the intake though. ill let you guys now when it runs right how nice the intake is
and im thinking about these rims for the car, i was thinking 19s front and 20s rear, but these are cheaper and i want them just cus they are from a skyline and they look nice, so they are 16x6.5 40mm offset but they are 5x114.3 so i would need to use adapters and they'd prob stick out 1" more than usual if i did that. what do you guys think?
alright got it running good it helps if you have spark plugs wires going to right places, ha.... hmmm i can tell a dif but i dont know how much i havent driven it in a while so... well see how she does on dyno, and i still have hypertech chip in so maybe itll be even better with another chip/.

thanx guy i havent really been working on it, still have the passengers side door to fix and finish and now remote door opener wont open door might be loose wire, but its coming along basically workin on engine like i said im gonna redo intake manifold and valve covers in that kandy green along with the body and get black ign wires and i wanna get the newer valve covers the rounded ones to match the new intake, i still wanna get fierostores hi comp racing pistons, valve job, port and polish, perf valve springs, retainers, ss vavles, 1.52 roller rockers, and a 272 cam, that should get me to 200 whp and a nice upper rpm range, i have noticed a lift in torque in the rpms with the new intake, i still havent put a new chip in yet, but after the roller rockers and 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust i plan on getting her dynoed and tuned at least for now, ill do the other internal mods later.
new quarter mile time at 15.15 @ 88.8mph with street tires, was hopin to get into 14's prob could have with other tires, but i didnt think i was gonna race tonite, 3.2 v6 with only external mods, and need a new exhaust system 5spd man
soon i finally found a site that sells the part i need for my passenger lambo door, so when thats done ill start body work again but ill be going back to school soon too, ill try to have it primered by at least june. what do you mean about sparkplugs?

heres my newest vid of my progress, 4 minutes total, havent done much, but its a vid instead of pics. first to show all of car, then to chin spoiler, havent worked on that in a while, needs lots of body work there, then to headlights, changed the outside light to two projectors, one high one low, and insde light for driving light, then to hood vent, yes hood is about the only part with paint on it, will get that sanded sometime, then to show filled in siding, some parts fiberglassed some not, just got done with door yesterday, the handle and lock is shaved too, i dont know if you can see but the gt side effects are molded together and bottom effect on doors are taken off to give a one piece rocker panel look, also have the side scoops, thats ready to be fiberglassed, then can see rear panel, both front and rear need a little more work, passenger side is started but not as close as drivers side, as i try to get my keys out of my pocket to open door with remote, then realize i cant open my door with one hand, so setting down camera, yes my door is squeeky gotta grease her up, but it works, hard to open right shock isnt that strong gotta get new ones, but it was only $330 lambo kit of ebay, it works, i dont care if i have to buy $80 shocks, its still cheaper than getting a $1200 kit. ok then can see black carpet interior, and short shifter with shift knob, prob haven tseen one of those knobs on a fiero huh? then to roof where i filled in the line between two roofs, and yes i had to fiberglass it twice for that extra strenth but it doesnt crack, and ive had it there for a year or two, then to trunk sccop, a lil different, and custom spoiler, not even close to being done, still have to come down sides of car a lil kinda like madcurls, but rounded. opening trunk to show engine with nearly all external mods, top performance parts too, need to redo exhaust though, and im getting to internals next month, pretty much like the 3.4 efi that was done, only i might get a little more hp. but thatll take time. as i set down my camera to record startup of 3.2 starts right up, and after rev starts to blow smoke? no just hasnt started up in a while and lighting is bad, it only has 35000 mile on new engine, come one. lol...
ok just bought crane 272 cam lifters are on hold fidanza alum flywheel, yes it really weighs only 8 lbs retainers springs 1.52 roller rockers vavle locks
now i just need: hardened pushrods ss valves gaskets and head bolts p&p and decked heads.
and ill be set to put it back together, then i would need to redo cat back 2.5" mandrel fuel pres reg holley adj and retune comp
ok sry madcurl for using your pic but it was the only one that i could actually use for some reason, im still learning photoshop. but this is the colo on a fiero that i want
ok finally got cradle bushings in, also got wcf engine mount poly, i have everything setting in garage just waiting for this guy to port my heads, i have to wait two more weeks, grrrrrrrrrrr, this suspense is killing me, ok so i decided not to deck the heads, cus someone pointed out to me that the lines wouldnt match up, and i didnt even think about that, so itll just stay with stock comp ratio, but that means i can still put on that supercharger ive been wanting. so ill try to push 190 wheels when done? not supercharged of course. still about 100 more hp than stock...... not bad for just some parts here and there, i havent driven it in soo long though i wanna drive it now, i cant wai to hear what it will sound like!

well it looks like i might not get my heads ported, im going to cali and found out i chose the wrong airport, woops, so now i have to use that money to shuttle to where i need to go, ne wayz, you learn from your own mistakes! so i should have engine back together soon hopefully b4 nwfierofest, also might get asw thruston wheels. well see.
Looks like a great build up. Enough time must have been put into it. Serious though, Prime it one color before you drive it around. I wouldn't drive any car around looking like that, even if it was a ferrari.
yeah electrathon told me about that today, stupid forum, though i did like the fact that some people did actually like it, most people dont like lambo doors, but it is a show car, or will be, the only thing with no primer is, theres too much body work to do, i havent had time. still redoing engine, im having aaron (electrathon,) powdercoat intake manifold and edlebrock valve covers to the colo i want to paint the car. so the engine will be done soon and i will get some pics up soon after.
Don't mind them, they hate most things that people modify (minus engines with more then one cam).
Best of luck on the car, Chase.
LOL EXACTLY ! Don't let shaunbag get your panties in a bunch. He thinks his NAWWZZED 2.8 is teh rulzors l33t l33t of the street racing world. Keep up the good work. Now on to your car. I'm not a big fan of lambo doors but that doesn't matter it's NOT my car. The color is cool.So you are dropping a cam, rockers and springs in it thats one step in the right direction. Shauna doesn't even have that and he's calling you the ricer .

Not everyone builds a car to run at the drag strip...You like what you are doing to your car and that's all that matters. So a bunch of adolescents on RFT think your car, Madcurl's and mine are rice...I won't lose a wink of sleep. If my car is rice then so be it.
