I'm planing to get the car on my webpage soon. The transplant is in the beginning stages since I've only the Fiero for a few weeks. I've already converted it to a GT. I found a complete 86 GT in a local salvage yard for $500! It was missing some interior items but most everything else was there. It even had aftermarket rims on it! Pretty good deal I thought.

It's on the Eastern coast of NC. Located about halfway between SC and VA but not on the Outer Banks. It's about 35 miles east of New Bern.

hey turbo1dr, if you ever make it down the northern SC coast anytime soon, LMK! I'd say that $500 GT was a heck of a deal, and there's not too many people on the forum that would pass that one up!
Good luck and welcome!

Hmm...I see there is no interest in drag racing on this board. I thought you guys with the V8's may have some time slips to share. Maybe I should've asked: What do you do to have fun in your Fiero?

Sorry man, been busy and didn't get a chance to post.

I just picked up my new project, an '84 with a V8 and 5-speed combo. It runs 13.3's.

I've never had my turbo car to the track, but I think it's slower than the V8. It feels slightly slower. Need more boost.

Take care,
Hartz
