No rubbing in the front on the plastic wheel wells? Oh i bet it is that you have an 88 and I have 87.
No, it's because the old wheels rubbed it all away years ago when the car sat a lot lower. Seems like the older I get the more suspension travel I like.
My fronts are 40mm offset because 48 was on backorder. Rears are 45mm. I'm interested to see if there is a big difference between your car and my car.
I may be doing some test driving this week end, if I have time to get down to the DMV for tags. when I get some drive time on the car, so I can trust it not to break down on me; I will PM you so we can compare.

Lol, I have noticed that for myself as well. The stock ride on my formula was surprisingly comfortable, so my intention was to try and retain it as much as possible with my build. I may have to make another rear spring selection because I'm running 300 lb. rates now.
Installed the headlights. These are from projectorretrofit.com. This was one of the highest quality kits I have ever seen. Figment is perfect and man are they bright. Now on to the tail lights...

Not pictured is the adapter for the bov and a couple more intake elbows. Going to change and shorten the pipes from the intercooler to the throttle body. Next up is upgrading the throttle body to a larger a Fiero throttle body and a tune.
Nice photo! I stopped by O'Relliy on Friday night 7/3 with my Fiero and hung out for awhile, my Fiero was the odd man out among all the Camaros and mustangs, but attracted considerable attention after they saw the Ls4 shoe horned in the engine bay. The conversation soon turned to the guy that works at BMW and has had multiple engines in his Fiero, from a 4.9 to a turbo 4 cylinder. Also came up batousai666 and his Mera. Your reputations proceeds you gentleman!

Poor cars sitting on jack stands under its cover for the winter. I have new sail panels to install in the spring. Mine were getting scratched and discolored. Ordered them from fierosails.com. Very good quality and super fast shipping!
Tax return time. Ordered a full set of poly bushings for the suspension and Koni adjustable rear struts to match my rear shocks! Got the struts for $392 shipped from www.raceconsultingagency.com which was the best deal anywhere. Just went out to find my battery is dead. It's only 10 years old. Ordered an optima red top battery for it. There goes another $138.

Installed the optima battery. Took the car to work today. Installed the koni rear struts and poly bushings. Holy cow it's a different car now! I also installed a larger throttle body and wrapped the exhaust. Still have a timing belt, mirrors and sail panels to replace. Oh yeah, ordered a set of turn signal covers too!

Got some turn signal covers! I used some clear double side tape to mount them. I'm going to see how it holds up, not sure I trust it. Might make some sort of a bracket to hold them on if the tape doesn't work good. I can't pull them off easily so maybe it will be ok. Pictures:
Finally after some back and forth with my insurance company I got the value of my car upped. It was at a $3500 value! We have an agreed value of $9000 now which I feel a bit better about. Only took my 6 month premium up $12. I installed new sail panel glass from fierosails.com last weekend. They fit perfect and look awesome. Still have a couple coolant hoses to replace, timing belt to install, thermostat to install and temperature sensor to replace. My boost controller took a poo so the car was running bad. I took it out of the equation and now it runs better. Ill have to get a replacement. I have some vacuum lines I want to replace too.
Oh, and I ordered a set of LED side markers today.

I just noticed you have some Big Wires! I like big wires. They look better on the engine than stock wires! I have ZZP 10.5 wires.

Today I replaced The timing belt and tensioner. The old tensioner was seized and I found the intake camshaft was off one tooth. I got it all back together set the ignition timing and it runs much much much better now. Idle is smoother too. I gave it a bath and installed a steering wheel center pad I've had laying around.
Installed a new ac delco tps, map and oxygen sensor. Drove the car daily this week 100% city driving and I'm not light on it. Just filled the tank. Averaged 24.9mpg. Now I need to take it on a highway trip to see what it does.
Just looked back and saw I was averaging 20.8 around town. Apparently the cam timing getting corrected helped a lot.
