I was actually just working on the article. I get a little bit done each night. At this rate, I imagine sometime this week.

Somewhere in a pile of screenshots, I have where his ip was logged, and he actually 'confirmed' who he was.
Are you that ass that screwed with the Tyler's Toy site? If so, get out of my thread. I have nothing to say to you or care to hear your opinions.

That's the rumor, but no, I have better things to do than crash an Apache server.
Aren't you the guy who gets in fights at gas stations?
From the very same thread (Page 67):

How about somebody else's opinion then?

Steven's my friend from the good (or bad) ole Navy days. The car's at his place and he's NOT happy with it. He's just too nice to say what he really wants to. He realized that Dave had exceeded his competence when he was checking the lash after putting in a new set of hydraulic lifters. :-o
Dave also did a bunch of other things in silly, short sighted ways.
But you've probably already read that. Anyway, I'm sure you've got an S class to fix.

It was a fight at the food store too. lol. I've grown up since then and frequent a different food store in a different town. I have decided to change the name of the town I live in to "New Brooklyn". It's kind of catchy.
If it wasn't you, I apologize....it still doesn't mean I like you. I've read your other posts.
As for the rest of the thread, let's try and get this back on topic. I will be posting up pics of the headers with turbo setup once it is complete. Then it is on to the wiring harness of the project.

You done proving my point about you from the other thread? No, you're not anything like what I described right? You're here to do what exactly? Like I said, you, Scott, and Justin are pretty much the same. The only difference is your vocabulary is better than theirs. Thanks for stopping by, feel free to go over to RFT and talk about how intelligent you think you are compared to everyone over here. Let us know when you have a shop and are doing this for a living. That is if you don't quit the forum or get banned again.
lol.... We are working on it. I estimate we will have it up and running in a month or two. It all depends on how busy the shop is. If we have a slow week, we can dedicate the week to the Fiero. If we have a busy week, we are staying late and working on the Fiero after hours. The longest parts of our builds is the custom headers and the wiring. Ryan and I take a lot of time to make sure that it is right the first time. Dave

This is my "I've already peaked and am kidding myself" car.
Most of the stuff I type is sarcasm, laced with complete bs. Except the part about Dave's rash, that was TOTALLY "true". After seeing a pic of something, I think I know where he got it too.....

Dave and I had the beginning of a chat about the completion timeframe. With the work that still needs to be done, and the logistics of the pickup / delivery, it might be early spring before the car comes home. This would mainly be my decision not his. I want to inspect the car personally before it comes home, so I don't really want to ship it. I also don't want to be driving a 400+ WHP rear wheel drive manual transmission car across country when half of the trip will be spent on icy / snowy roads. Not my idea of a good time right now. Winter weather and I have an arrangement, it stays up there, and I stay down here. Not to mention the car has NEVER seen winter roads, and it shows with a completely rust free chassis. I intend to keep it that way.
No definite decision has been made, just discussing things right now. This does open the door for me throwing other work at Dave though, like some minor tweaks and such.

Dave is getting much closer to getting this car running. I'm hoping for a video for Christmas
This car might not be the fastest, but the pictures he's taken look really nice. I'm just really glad to have something that makes me feel good when I look at it too. You guys will get to see more pics when he's ready, but I can say that this isn't average looking.
Thanks for everything Dave.

Above average appearance, below average performance!
That's a matter of opinion. My car will definitely outperform your car on every level except 1/4 mile times. And since I don't "live my life a quarter mile at a time", I think I am ok with that. I don't have a very low self esteem and need to prove anything or bash someone else's build. You may think that you know what is best for Michael's build, but you really don't have a clue. Michael told me what he expects to achieve from this car and I think I've hit the nail on the head. I've owned Fieros for 19 years now, and it is ridiculous as to how much bull$hit there is between Fiero owners. The internet gives people free reign to speak because there is no balls needed to back any statements that might offend.
wait. This still isn't completed? bmwguru bust be getting paid peanuts. So if this car ever ends up at a drag strip, do you think they will post the 13 second time slip?
Looking forward to the unclassified release of this build.
No. BMWGuru must have a full time job as a German Auto Repair shop owner and technician. The Fieros are a side business, but if you are concerned about the speed of the swap, pitch in another $70 per hour and I'll put Michael's car in the rotation with the German car work. We will be doing a new build thread after completion because this one is pretty much trashed and useless. Michael let me build the car the way that I see fit for what he plans to do with it.
