i have been in contact with someone in myspace that claims he tried to sign up but couldn't because of having a hotmail account.
he said that he emailed (i have to assume cliff) but didn't get a responce.

what can he do?

It the guy on myspace named Mike cause I've been talking to a fiero guy on there and referred him to PFF. Not sure what he can do other then maybe make a yahoo account and try it. I started out with a charter account but when they closed I started using my yahoo account and it works fine on here.

To sign up you need a email address from your internet carrier.

after signing up you can switch to a common adress like hotmail or yahoo.

Not so much one from your net provider as one that costs money. It's to discourage people from signing up with a free service with the intent of spamming or trolling.

I had the same problem.

Try a really weird one Cliff doesn't have blacklisted. My @delorean.com address worked fine, though that was back in 2002

Have him email me again. I get tons of legit emails and even more (much more) spam so it often happens I either overlook an email or accidently delete it...

That (probably) won't work anymore since I have been manually activating registrations. If an email address looks like it's an anonymous address, I check it. If it turns out it is, I don't activate the registration.

I understand why Cliff has his requirements, but if I had not signed up for PFF before he put them in affect, I probably would not have an account. I never use my ISP's provided email acount, I could not even begin to guess the password to it. I always found it silly to use an email account that is more than likely going to change everytime I move(I was military) or a better ISP comes along.

Cliff fixed it such that I could put my yahoo account in the email tag that is in each post...only now I'm getting email from Shaun...

Argh Cliff, please go back to blocking yahoo mail accounts!

will do.
he has questions about wanting to setup an 84 for drifting and i dont have answers for him.

Drifting a Fiero isnt the best idea, as the trannies cant take it... However maybe the G6 tranny can?

Tell him dont even think about drifting.

a drifter needs to be balanced = hard to do in a fiero especially since the motor swap required to make enough power usually adds weight to the rear.

another BIG thing is that your differential needs to be locked and there are few to no full locked diffs (spools) made for our cars.

tell him to drift a 'maro

Just tell him to wait, by the time he grows up he will figure out how stupid the drifting concept is in any car. Problem solved.

I thought quaife made a diff for the Fiero... not that other parts would grenade too though
