all in due time.... I have to get some more traction on the rear wheels first. Even with the LSD, it spins the wheels anytime the pedal is pressed to the floor. Probably have to start with bigger tires. Once Joey is 100% confident with the car, I'l add some boost to it. In the meantime, I have three other projects going on at the same time in the near future, so I'll be taking a well deserved break come November. Dave edit to add the video from page 10...

OMG! OMG!!
I love my car!!
I got to drive it home from work on Friday..... AWESOME!!!
Then Dave and I went to Trenton area to go hang out with some good friends/fiero owners. The trip was only about 26 miles one way, but OMG, it was great to actually be able to drive the VR-6 Fiero!!
Dave followed me in our gold fiero, just in case we had a problem..... But it ran/drove great.
When the evening ended, we were supposed to stop and get gas before coming home.. but I forgot in my exciement of being able to drive it. So, when we pulled into the driveway and shut off the fieros, he reminded me. We then proceeded to argue over who gets to drive it to the gas station......
....needless to say I won...
Definitely a feat of engineering.....
No more swaps for at least 2 years!!

Dave, Congratulations on completing the build. It has been great fun following along with the progress and problems of the build.
Joey, I'm glad you are so happy with your new car. One question though, paint? Are you going to get it painted and if so what color(s) are you thinking about?
Good luck with the car.

I want to something wild like my orange and black V8, but the final decision is Joey's. It will definitely be getting paint, bigger brakes and rims in the near future. Dave

It will be getting painted, and if Dave has his way soon, but I don't want anything too flashy.... I'm a cop magnet in any car... now put me in a loud car, thats just asking for it. Put me in a loud car with a flashy paint job... and you might as well just take my license now. LOL
I want the car to have a paint job that will compliment the build.... I would like to stick with silver, but we'll see what happens.
It definitely needs the bigger brakes, because it can move....
As far as rims... I'm not sure what I want yet.
Joey
ps I really really really really love my car!!!
