I'm starting a 2.2L Ecotec swap project with turbo and nitrous (shooting for about 400HP, for starters, then MAYBE 700HP, only because FieroTurbo presses it) around January (If I get my new job, maybe sooner then that!), and also beefing up suspension with WCF parts, then, rocker panels from Archie, as well as many other fiberglass parts from Fiero Warehouse. A friend of mine is a video journalist and I'm talking to him about making video's of me racing, doing 180's, 360's, you name it 8). I'll probably host them on my own site mirrored to my FTP server for everyone's enjoyment, kind of like my own version of antirice.com but PRO FIERO, ha- hahaha. There's a lot of power in Norman, and it’s not hard to find. I'm in high school so there's a lot of kids with 350's and stock 4c & V6 Body Kitted Honda's that think they're something special, but there IS real competition here as well, I know MANY good roads for drag strips and handling endurance, as well as empty lots for those 180's and 360's. And even when I lose, and I expect to, I will still share the footage. I look forward to shooting lots of footage for you guys. And I hope everything goes as planned  All in favor please say something; encouragement is only going to help speed things up! email me at vampeternal@sbcglobal.net !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VaMP

A friend of mine drives a 99 Steeda Mustang, V6, auto, cold air intake, and about 260+ HP. A stock Impreza took him to school. Why? Because the 04's are getting 80-100 in about 3 seconds. And all you folks want to compair old technology to new, its crap. Like saying, "my overclocked Pentium III will run better then your FX-53!" It makes no sense, but its when you're taking that FX-53 chip or Intel's new 3.4GHz chip and putting a whole new motherboard and crap in your computer, that you can fairly compair them.

They can compare their new technology to my "old" technology all they want.  35 years later theres still no replacement for displacement for cheap reliable power.

I tried to stay out of this, but of course I have to take a jab while I'm at it. trigger or whoever it was that started this mindless bullshit waste of time, by assuming the topic was directed towards tuners (the fast imports) you automatically claimed all imports as rice. He was simply referring to those who spend more on looks, than on performance. You speak so boldly about narrow minded people, yet you yourself are one of the most narrow minded by assuming he was corning tuners. let me spell it out for you
Rice = Appearance before Performance... these only apply to those cars, imported or not... that invest hundreds/thousands on non function scoops, 5" exhaust tips without a full exhaust tune, 1' high alum. spoiler that hinders FWD cars more then help, stickers of every brand of bullshit so that you look like a sponsored "ricer". Can you tell the difference now? between a ricer and a tuner? There are all sorts of ricers here, imports and domestics, they make their car look fast when it is a worthless piece of slow **** .... have I "killed" ricers? you bet, ricers outweigh the number of true tuners. Now how about we get back to the topic at hand and give the import domestic bullshit a rest shall we?
I for one think if some of you import owners, aren't going to do anything but stir **** up on our forum, then get lost [This message has been edited by Nebiros88 (edited 10-25-2004).]

why are you guys so crazy about ricer kills? if its fart cans and decals on a civic that runs 16's what is the big deal about that? Is that even a big accomplishment? I would rather hear of some domestic kills. like the corvette, camaro, trans am, mustang owners that so arrogant and cocky. god, especially those ugly new GTO's. after all imports are underdogs just as fieros are.
matter of fact i think im gonna make another thread on nothing but domestic kills.
had a 91 non-turbo MR2, long considering a 3SGTE swap until i looked at auto cross times. pretty discouraging that that motor put out so much turbo lag that the naturally aspirated 5SFE base model majority of the time did better than the turbo model on tracks. I'm sure that's not the story for all imports that boost, but having a turbo as a mains source of power can be a great strength and a great weakness too

Did anyone see a timeslip, road test, or performance comparison to the Fiero in that link? I didn't. Besides, you should have used this (probably one of very, very few japanese) import in your arguments to start with, not brand new technology against something built 20 years ago as an economy car so it could make it into production. The Fiero was just getting started and on its feet when GM (Chevrolet) had the whole thing stopped. You can't possibly be serious to compare stock for stock this car with some turbo tuner car that had no limits on what power it could produce, even though I'm sure the V6 Fiero would STILL hold its own. ------------------
