Love the scoops btw. |

My orange car took five months to the date to get done. They did a lot of fiberglassing and repairing the prep work I started. We are planning on dropping it off in late Nov.

Good luck to you. Working on cars is getting more complicated every year. They are more computer than machine nowadays. The good part about this is that the "Shadetree Mechanics" are starting to go away...which in turn increases our value.
Don't worry about seeing the VR6....if I know my wife, she'll be taking her 2009 road trips in it all over the country.

I'm shopping for side scoops for the car. They have to be functional for the cold air intake. My tastes are pointing me towards the AusFiero stage 2, but as we all know, they are not available. Anyone have any ideas for similiar types of scoops? I'm not a body guy, so I can't make my own.

If you are still looking they will be available again very very soon.

If you're redesigning those scoops as well. Have you considered Porsche Cayman inspired scoops as well?

That is excellent news, Aus. Your design is the prettiest scoop/mod i've seen for the Fiero.

Well if you can send me a Porsche Cayman for development purposes I will do it. I will need the car for say, life?

I think I have been hijacked. 
Actually, I wish that I had another GT not painted yet. I'd love to have a set of them, but I'm not going to repaint my gold car at this time and I already put scoops on the VR6 project.

I'd be cautious using the stock Fiero fuel pump for a high perfromance application. Although the fuel trims are within spec, extended high RPM operation may require more fuel than the stock Fiero pump can deliver. You'll know after one run down the 1/4 mile under full throttle and pity your pistons if you go lean!. The EP376 Corvette V8 fuel pump is very quiet and puts out plenty of fuel. You can buy new Delphi Corvette pumps for about $50 on eBay and the pump installs just like the Fiero pump-no mods necessary. You may want to consider using it for cheap insurance. ------------------

we're not running any boost on the VR6 yet, but we'll have to upgrade the pump then. I'm just toying around with a few different changes to see what can work with this combo.
What is the year of the Corvette application for that pump?
