Damn... just use a boxcutter knife and cut off those ragged, probably hard as rock, dew wipe remnants before they totally scratch up the windows!

Haha. Thanks! Too be fair that was the previous owner before I bought it. It still had his plate on it. I personally never cover my plate.... I don't actually understand why or what it serves as everyone sees the plate when I'm driving anyways.. 🤔

What's your ride man? I also remember your forum name and we have talked many times before.

I feel the same way about it as you do. Maybe we're just more laid back and relaxed in Beautiful British Columbia.

Ahh yes I remember you Patrick. Maybe but I did purchase it from a BC citizen in Victoria.. Only the police or city can access private information through your plate. And even then they still have to go through the DMV system. 🤷

no, just one i worked on for a club member. its a 88 in plum purple from dodge is what he told me.
mine is much much worse lol. i havent done much with it to finish it getting roadworthy, the 3rd select cable (used) breaking kinda just made me finish giving up for now. they always snap at the plastic for me and im done
edit 2: just realized how much worse it looks but i have made progress. i installed a new radiator, got the engine running good and got a jump on titling finally (screw state inspections only being in seattle without 3 year scheduling in any town near me) and i have multiple new headlight buckets and everything but the ac compressor is new from a wrecked car but i wasnt able to find a free gt front bumper yet..

Lumbar and Performance Sound? Very nice.
I've got an 88 coupe that is (at some point) getting an LQ1/F23 swap, unless I chicken out and just do an LZ9.

I'm not sure if we've chatted much, in the past. I do remember your screen name, though.

This is my other car. It's a Formula with a fastback conversion, and a 4.9.

I didn't even know it had those options until I looked at it and I was pleasantly surprised! I had to replace the subwoofer. The lumbar seat bladders need some work. I haven't checked them yet but I'm sure they need replacement bladders. Nevertheless still nostalgic.

I personally wouldn't recommend the LQ1 it's extremely hard to get any parts for it. It has piddly to no support. Just getting gaskets and spark plug wires was a pain. And I had to spend hrs trying to find what I needed.. I personally would go with a 3800 or a honda K24A2 or a Honda J series V6. What's the LZ9?

Some screen names ring a bell. I think I remember you a little.

The Formula fastback conversion looks awesome! I love it man! Definitely would like to see more of that. The 4.9 must be heavy? How's that feel? Is that 18s rear and 17s front?

I hear yah man. Inspections are stupid I'm so sick of government... I'll stay hush on that subject 👀... But you just got to get motivated. The Fieros are quite easy to work on. There can be a few frustrations like clips breaking and what not but you can just replace that stuff. What's wrong with your current front bumper?

My LQ1 has the AC compressor still on the engine I just have to get a set of custom short lines to get it connected. They are just all around fun to work on. And driving them is just one of a kind feel.
