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.  [This message has been edited by FieroMaster88 (edited 04-26-2016).]

Some more toys for the car:
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. |

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.[This message has been edited by solotwo (edited 04-28-2016).]

That engine fits in there so nice. Looks like you change TBI's? You went from 2 to 1 is that correct?

Replaced all my vacuum lines and changed some of the routing. Took care of my vacuum leak. Cleaned my engine bay up too. Upped the boost to 15psi.

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.[This message has been edited by FieroMaster88 (edited 06-11-2016).]

Steering wheel cover looks good!
