You do know that the class rules are way Supra biased? All of the Supras are running modified GM tranny and rear ends. What's Shep running? Thats right a full DSM drive train. A full Supra drivetrain has yet to run the time Shep has with his DSM drive train. I think its pretty remarkable that Shepard is so competitive with his budget when going up against some well funded Supra teams not to mention doing it with four holes and a full interior. The times he is getting out of his car with his money is quite impressive. But you will never hear John complain about the unfair rules, and the little dollars he has funding his racing career. John would rather compete with Supras and let his car do the talking than mop up in the slower turbo four class. BTW, John Shepard finished 2nd in points for the year, not to shabby considering the competition.

because you obviously know nothing about cars.

that was already explained here. trying to get some back up from that post? i realize people are sympathic to morons such as yourself, but c'mon.

lets look at that first quote.

i made a generalizition. it turned into a dsm fight later.

in this post. when he attacked dsms and nothing else in his post.

i edited it to save space. its on page 2.

who says i've even worked on it? the car hasn't had a wrench touch it in 2 years. having money is the bank is always a nice feeling.

since you've obviously never used alldata, it does oem replacements. its not going to tell you how much time it takes to swap in a whole new drivetrain or engine from a diferent car. also, alldata doesn't tell you how much time its going to take to do a turbo install. a lot of that is time/material. do you know what that is? also, if you just do an r&r on a 2.8, you would have less time in that project than doing a custom turbo set up on a car due to all the wiring/plumbing. but you know that, cause engineers think they know how to work on cars.

oh really... then why does fiero x(owner of the fastest v6 fiero on this forum) have a turbo instead of a supercharger? turbos do have low end issues and boost lag if you use an improperly sized turbo. you can combat lag with proper management, and by minimizing drop in ic piping and ic design. also, exhaust design helps with that. but why am i teaching these things to an engineer? i should be charging for the schooling. why should i be jealous? they have time and effort stuck into their cars. you obviously aren't one of them.

never claimed i know everything like you engineers do. also, i never said that detonation is the only way a piston fails. i said it was a major cause. way to try putting words in my mouth.

yet again, i never said anyone else wasn't. you called me unpatriotic, but thats coming up. also, still trying to get other people to back you up?

you like to repeat yourself a lot. actually, thats what all of your posts are. repeats. reiterating stupidy doesn't make it any less stupid.

he's doing an upgrade. yet you always seem to accuse me of not reading everything.

on this s/n you have 61 posts as i type this. 11 of them are in this post alone. that only leaves 50 posts for you to help all the people that need you. i find it hard to believe that you have found much of what i've posted. the search function on this forum doesn't allow you to search by screen name. i'll be the first to acknowledge that i don't post in tech much. so? yet again crying for back up.

good for you. my dad fought 3 tours willingly. he volunteered to go the first time, and went back voluntarily the other two times. i chose not to joing the service. i don't see you in iraq either. you're over here posting. good job, you made it through boot camp. + for you. not.

mitsu did 99% of the work. chrysler put a badge on the cars and sold a few. look at the drivetrain lay out. strangely similar to an evo III. oh **** , they're the same thing. who would of thought?

the webpage was yours. no doubt about it. you have a tbird turbo. congratulations. you own one of the crudest turbo set ups on the face of the planet(and no, im not saying that they are all slow. there are some fast ones). and according to the webpage, it was all stock. but we can't verify that, because you took it down. hiding something? you can build boost in neutral. not much unless you have a stutter box, but some none-the-less. factory boost gauges are highly inadequate, but i'd hate to insult an engineer.

come on down. why don't you bring your bad ass tbird turbo and some cash too. then you can see that i have a 3.5 stall garage that my fiero is parked in. not the shadetree driveway you were pimping on the webpage. oh yeah, you were building a "shop" to put all the tools you don't really know how to use in. way to be a poser.

it was yours. you also use the s/n fierospeeder on other forums. under certified mechanic you're a newbie. maybe some else had fierospeeder first? if you're both though, you're breaking forum rules. grounds for being banned if im not mistaken. actually, i went to a technical college. wyoming technical institute. graduated with a degree in automotive, chassis fabrication, and high performance engines. nice try though.

im sure i've taken some negatives from this post. not enough too ban me though. i don't even have a meter. i've even received a couple postive pm's about it. if you're so smart, your post count would be higher too. i took over a year break from the forum.

yes i'm sure. are you sure you're an engineer? do you even have a fiero? any mods? you've dodged that question a couple of times already.

that comment wasn't directed at you bud.

it doesn't matter what everyone else was saying. read what i said. i wasn't talking crap. i was providing facts. i misunderstood your other post, but it was directed at me. sorry i misunderstood.
