Real Fiero Tech

Wow, I thought for sure that somebody would be interested in these valuable collectibles, especially at these rock-bottom prices. If not, I'll post this ad to Pennock's.

Properties of materials: MatWeb.

I find their Weight Calculater for metal and plastic shapes handy.

The two from the swap meet are etched plastic. The one from the 20th is laser cut stainless.

Well?

I just now caught up on the joyride thread. Holy crap! Glad to hear it's going back together right.

Cool! Too bad he couldn't take his toy on tour with him.

Another data point. My Formula's gas gauge has been off since I bought the car in '94. When it was bone dry the gauge read 1/8. Over the years the problem has gotten worse and now it runs out of gas at 1/4 tank. The interesting thing is that when I fill it up with gas after coasting into a gas stati...

Trailer 3 It's not up on the other website yet. I'm not in this one, but my driver is. Everyone, meet Ron Bauer . Ron is a local autocrosser and ex-Spec Miata racer. Ron has two Solo II National Championships, he raced Spec Miata for a couple years, and he's an Evolution Driving school instructor. ...

Both cars have been rallied and both cars have SCCA log books. Both have titles and are street legal. Both have 2.8 V6 motor, 5-spd transmission, Koni shocks, aluminum skidplates. Tons of spares - control arms, brakes, engines, transmission, engine parts, lots of wheels. The green car is an '85 GT. ...

I don't watch much if any tv. It's ironic, but I hardly ever watch TV either. I'll have to go to a friend's house to watch this show. New trailer is up. Right click, Save As: http://www.buildorbust.com/uploads/trailers/739cbe942fcc3dbb371854c1a168b5f4.mov I'm in this one, too, but not as prominent.

The NDA says I can't say anything until the final episode airs, and there's a $1,000,000 penalty. What I can say is that there is some great footage and if it's put together right this could be a very good show. I believe the premier episode is going to air on Speed channel on April 18 at 8pm easter...

Setup trailer If that doesn't work, go to http://www.builtbythugs.com and click on the Trailers link, then choose the Setup Trailer. I'm in there twice - once voice only "we're playing for $100,000 if we win, second place is zero," and once with my ugly mug, too (very end of the trailer)....

They'll total it, I guarantee you. :withstupid: As far as totaling it... come on! That's not right... An insurance total is not about the condition of the car, it's about math. If the car will cost something like 70% - 80% of the car's value to fix, then they total it. It doesn't take much to do $1...

Cool. Tell him I said hi and ask if he's decide if he's coming to Seattle or not.

How much for the yellow Formula?

I'm usually pretty good about keeping my mouth shut when the situation calls for it.

His styling has improved substantially compared to the ugly C4s he used to do.

I think you should post them so we can all judge that for ourselves.

Hey Matt! As you had probably noticed, I hadn't been around here much. I just found your build thread. I skipped over it a few times because I thought it was the Heads For Sale thread (sorry, Will). forgot to ask.. i need valve covers with a wee-bit more clearence. They don't exist. I have similar r...

Just saw it. I skip a lot of videos because I don't have much time. I think it's both cool and sad. The power of the bucket loader was impressive. The guy operating it was really a pro, too. But I find dead cars kind of sad. Take a look across a junkyard and think to youself that every single one of...

Shaun, Are there any other official dyno days of any sort at the Daytona show? Any other car clubs doing it? If not, then you should definitely do this. It's only $450 bucks, and it sounds like you have at least that much invested in air filters anyway. :la: Pay the man $450 for ten cars on his dyno...
