Real Fiero Tech

I'm thinking with simply upgrading the transmission I could be faster, right?

I'm thinking a 2700 RPM stall, new shift kit and all in a rebuilt 4t40 transmission.

yea I know...

Here's the thing though. If my end goal was to go fast, I wouldn't be driving a fiero. :thumbleft:

My upcoming undergraduate present to myself is a 350Z.

Tonight I raced my Fiero for the first time. We raced up to 90mph and I lost by around 1.5 car lengths. The other guy was a Ford Mustang SVO with an upgraded turbo and that's all. He honked the horn to go and got a good jump on me. This was the first time I had ever launched an automatic, let alone ...

again, my local friends/people I know are wrong about what is wrong with my car. :scratch: :thumbleft: I cleaned up the engine compartment, and got started looking around for where the fluid was coming out and I found a burst rubber line for the tranny cooler. I had to get under the car to see it, b...

Actually it looks like it all came out of the dipstick hole. The dipstick is still in place and bolted down. Someone that I know that runs an auto shop said that if the TQ converter breaks it can let go of all the fluid inside of it and fill the transmission with a lot of extra fuel and it will find...

Up for sale is a set of 2.8L Fiero heads. I pulled these off to upgrade to a set of ported heads. There is nothing wrong with these ones.

I have an MSD 6AL box with a 6,000 rpm limit chip that I'd like to sell. it is in great shape and it comes with the harness to connect to the Fiero coil.

It is in great shape.
Asking $160 shipped

Oh yea, and I have a brand new OEM unpainted front bumper that will be replacing that NASTY bumperpad on its way to my house from FL right now.

Update: I drove the car for almost 100 miles yesterday where my car club met up with a bunch of other folks in 3 other clubs and the car was driving great. It has some driveability issues, but nothing major that I can't get worked out soon... http://www.clubredline.net/gallery/data/media/39/100_4931...

All good advice for tomorrow. Thank you very much!

Are you sure its not the dist o-ring? They can be deceiving, check that first. If not, your SOL until you pull the manifold. What did you use for sealant? I recommend the high temp black RTV, and plenty of it. An old hot-rodders trick is to dimple the block with a punch a dozen times on each side, ...

I drove it tonight quite a bit.

The lower intake manifold is leaking oil.

Hello vacuum leak.

sorry to mis-quote anyone. All I am getting at is that he has a lot of usable/helpful info.
