Aurora 4.0l / Izuzu 5 speed swap into 88 coupe (Page 100/102) La fiera MAR 04, 06:16 PM Hello Charlie!! Congrats on your build, that is sure a lot of work but lots of work well done. Been enjoying this build! Keep going!! Rei cptsnoopy MAR 04, 06:50 PM quote Originally posted by La fiera: Hello Charlie!! Congrats on your build, that is sure a lot of work but lots of work well done. Been enjoying this build! Keep going!! Rei thank you Rei, It’s been a fun project and to my surprise the Fiero runs pretty well. 300hp and 7500 rpm won’t win races against real muscle cars but it is a blast to play around in. Charlie La fiera MAR 05, 08:09 AM I remember this Cadillac with that same V8 you have with twin turbos at the Washinton GP back in the 2000's It sounded so sweet off the corners!! And I belive it won the race. What happened to the ITB set up? cptsnoopy MAR 05, 08:25 AM That car had the racing engine based off the L-47 but it’s a completely different and much more powerful engine. The Shelby L-47 has the intake cams from the 300hp N* and that’s the only modification that I’m aware of. I could not get the itb’s to run right because I was unable to get a good map signal from the system to the computer. I tried running alpha-N but it was not nearly as drivable as the stock manifold. I told Will I was going to give the setup to him but I’m embarrassed to say I never got around to building a shipping box for it so it’s still here collecting dust until I get to it. Charlie Will MAR 05, 08:19 PM Oh, ok. I've been to Afghanistan for a year and come back since you said you'd do that. cptsnoopy MAR 06, 12:08 PM quote Originally posted by Will: Oh, ok.

Adding to the August update on the shop, we finished the solar install and also got the car lift up n running... a couple of pics... 15.6KW of Solar Fiero on the lift Lift test vehicle Charlie cptsnoopy FEB 13, 09:03 AM Last Saturday I found myself mixed in with 3 Lamborghinis, 2 Porsches and an Audi on my way to the Concours in the hills car show. What a fun time! This car show was by far the best I’ve ever seen and I only had time to check out about 100 of the over 900 cars on display. Charlie Rickady88GT MAR 01, 10:43 PM Wow, cool. cptsnoopy MAR 24, 11:16 AM I finally got around to pulling the rear struts and swapping in new taller bump stops. I took my wife for a short drive hitting the bumps that had been causing the rear tires to rub and it appears that the problem has been solved. Now I just need to re-balance the wheels in hopes of getting rid of the annoying vibration that happens above 78mph. Otherwise the car is running great Charlie FieroLost APR 13, 09:32 PM You have probably the nicest, properly modified and sorted Fiero that I have ever seen (having never really seen it of course). Thankyou for sharing the details of this build. You did the Fiero proud amongst that crowd of exotics on your way to the Concourse. Any photos from the event with your Fiero amongst them that you can share with us ?
