Real Fiero Tech

Cute 5th gear pull. How long do I have to live with this before we get some gear rowing...?

It's not that the paint is or isn't good. It's just that the technology at that time was like baking a clay pot. You don't just sand it off and apply new paint, you have to smother it in love and sweat to get the old cracking clay pot off.

Also, why do you need an autozone tachometer with a pushrod Chevy V6? No hate.

Anything new?

Well, being steel bodied will be better for removing the paint, although harder to seal to prevent rust. That's going to be a big job for you or whoever tackles it. I did a little reading this morning about the crazing, seems like the paint Ferrari used is very "hard" and a bitch to remove...

Hope that applies to the interior too. What a mess. I'm positive the new wheel looks better than whatever was on there before.

Long video, please.

Does a carfax show that car wrecked..? You weren't kidding about all the crazing in the fiberglass body.

Hahaha, that's hilarious, mister. Poor possum.

I've read all of that already, and there's no definitive way to get all of the BMW stuff talking to the GM computers, or use the stock computer to control the LS. My sunroof in the E39 has more feedback than most GM body control modules. All of this adds up to a really well built vehicle with comple...

Which can be disabled at the touch of a button. The traction control on my E39 and E64 is godly. Turns a RWD car into FWD in the snow and ice. One button and back to the basics. I'd consider an LS swap if it didn't mean losing all of the standard BMW logic.

Buy some pontiac arrows! JESUS!

Do you own cats? I see some scratches.

That is the most annoying blowoff valve. Props to you for hazarding when the mustang span. Looks like a fun day.

You going to do anything about rolling on 30 year old springs?

Bridge crane.

No really. I want to see this thing.

Which lift kit is that? I've got a GMC truck I'd like to lift like that....
