LOL never thought it would take this long. Look at the date posted!!! Anyone in the NW area want to check her out or go for a ride, LMK. ITS AWESOME!!!
To do list:
Paint the modded panels
Fill the super mega awesome badges Will made for me and make them side marker lights. I'd love advice how to do this!
Alignment
Have the AC line made and service the AC system. Its getting warm in Fl
Get a head unit. The stock one looks awesome (so retro) but the R channel is out
Headliner recovered
Start wrapping the interior trim in Alcantera
One of my LED side marker lights is dying. I need to get this swapped out. I wonder if thast forum member still makes them?
I need to get started modding the spare set of damaged GT taillights I have
300 more miles of break-in and then its off to MASE Engineering to get dyno tuned.[This message has been edited by BV MotorSports (edited 05-10-2015).]

Pic from last night. I took her to its 1st meet. Everyone was really cool and loved the Fiero. 2 guys with NSX's hung out with me and it was such a great night.

I'm happy for you. Glad you are finally getting to enjoy the car. I'm amazed you stuck with it so long, I think I would have given up!

Leaking front motor mount replaced and it was a bit of a pig to do. I found my oil filter housing is leaking a bit. I snugged the bolts up, lets hope that has it. I also had to trim off one of the "ears" on the bottom front of the F23 as it was bumping the cradle under load. I also think my serp belt is making contact with itself on the run from the AC comp to the tensioner pulley. I think it is making contact on that run where its REALLY close to the water pump pulley. I may add a simple idler (non-adjustible) to space it out a bit. And the minor tweaks continue. 
Pic of how close the belt is:

Too bad you can't rotate the entire tensioner about 45 degrees toward the firewall side of the engine. It would shorten up that hugely long span of belt, and also force it away from the WP pulley. It would also buy you some more room between the pulley and the decklid, if that's an issue. (Don't know that it is.)
It would also allow more wrap on the alternator pulley. The negative is that there would be a few degrees less wrap on the A/C compressor. Not that either would be an issue. Just a thought.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 05-13-2015).]

200 more miles till I have enough miles on it to feel confident to haul the car to MASE for a dyno tune. The car is running REALLY good. I am half tempted to do some full boost burnouts in my driveway and jump the speed bumps in my neighborhood. LMAO.
I still haven't done anything with the AC lines. I just don't have time but damn its getting hot outside.

This is probably a really dumb question (I don't know that style engine at all, and I don't want to review 47 pages in this thread for a possible answer  ), but with that belt wrap... won't the water pump end up being rotated backwards?
