I know you're busy with many things, I hate to impose on your time, although if you happen to get a chance could you explain how you created the bubble on the end of the fuel filter assembly. I was thinking you may have used some kind of flaring tool?
Thank You!

For that original filter, I used a double flare tool to enlarge the end. I am on filter # 3 or 4 (super rusty tank that is not clean) and haven't bothered to flare the ends of the filters since the first one. Since I pushed the hoses over the quick disconnect flange on the nipples anyway, I just put the hose clamps between the filter and the flange so they can't slide off.

General update... car is still running fine but it came out of DD rotation last week.
The week prior the temps were down in the 20's for my drive into work and the summer only rear tires were quite slick. It has snowed a few days in the past week and the roads have salt on them. So I am back driving the 2.5/125C fiero... The heater works better in the 2.5L fiero though, so that is nice!

Just a winter update on the Dyna-Batt battery. It seems to be doing quite well. I have started the car when it was 16 degrees out as well as started the car after it sat for 2 weeks with temps dropping into the 20's... so far the battery is holding up during the winter months!

Holley recently put up a youtube vid of LS fest 2013, caught a quick look of your car in it.

Is this an invite only event? I would love to bring my Fiero out and play along with you.

Nope. Its a 3 days event and $150 gets you the all access pass and pretty much unlimited autocross and drag strip runs. I showed up late the first day and still got in twelve 1/4 mile passes, 10 autocross runs, and eight 3S runs (shortened autocross with a tight 180 turn and a stop box). well worth the $$ in my book! There were only 2 Fieros there this year, but the other one (LS3/F40) only paid for the 1/4 mile access.
I would love to have some other fiero friends come to participate or watch... need someone to take some better videos!

That was cool to see you Fiero competing, looks like they were using a leaf blower to blow off all the tire rubber ? So what took the Grand Champion title?
