Kohburn, you can pop the trunk from the cab and walk around and lift it? Mine won't get past the latch and I don't have the key to the lock. I have to wedge something under the lid and hit the switch. I even tried adjusting the rubber stops. I found a 96 motor in a local yard. Anything I could use f...

I have one of the factory pieces, part of the recall, but not sure if it would do the job. Do both of the tension rods for the lid need to be removed? This car has both removed and the deck lid can't be lifted when the trunk is popped since there is not enough tension to get past the latch. It will ...

After following the hoses attached to the PCV, I see how stupid I be. The rain is getting in the front spark plug holes. Is that a major concern? Can the water get past the plugs? Today I ran the car until hot again. The fan came on and went off after it did it's job. Not a drop of coolant. Not sure...

I guess I had a brain fart because I ment to say the big end is towards the motor. It's right. Isn't it? http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/DSC02376.jpg Is this the proper place for this on this motor? It just doesn't seem like it belongs there. I'm having a hard time finding replac...

OK, this damn thing is cursed. Today I started it up and went for a spin to warm it up. When I got back home and pulled in the driveway, I smelled coolant. There was a trail of coolant all the way down the block and was spilling onto the driveway. The leak was near the radiator somewhere (coolant hi...

Oh, and this motor has something that clicks when it's first started and stops when it warms up. http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/?action=view&current=Picture.flv You can kinda hear it here. The sound quality went to crap after it went to photobucket. Any idea what it is? Inje...

Please elaborate. I don't know much about this motor.

Thanks, Will. We went through a lot of trouble to get those numbers. The only 2 notchy cars were autos, and we didn't have an 88 or any 4 cylinder cars. I was gonna try and get my 3.4 TDC car there, but would have been too much trouble and not enough time. We did get a 3800 NA and a 3400 SFI. Not to...

Not a repost. Info moved since the other thread has turned into a "Your this and my that aren't what him or I and you thunk it was/should be" thread. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/DSC02349.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/DSC02360.jpg http://i66...

Yo.

Huh?

There it is.

Does the strut tower need to be cut out for this motor to be in a 88?

What's the stock compression on the 93 motors?

Anyone have pics of where the stock exhaust ends in relation to the oil pan (right after the 02 bung)?

SM2 is a class where you can run pretty much anything with any mod as long as it's street legal and has 2 seats. The L67 engine swap is legal, ust tell them it came from a GTP (maybe it did, I dunno). Turbo/supercharger additions are fine in this class. SM2 is the class I went to after I turbocharge...

Sometimes when the AC is turned on the car will die. If I got this clutch switch hooked up, would that cure that? I also will need to get this motor to pass smog. First thing I have to do is replace the mufflers with cats. Am I going to need the EGR installed as well to pass smog? Also, where is the...

My 87GT has over 217k on it, but had to replace the motor at 215k (knocking #4). My 87GT doesn't look quite as good as your Formula.

Man, I need to get you to help me do a MS. I suck at that kind of stuff. If I can get a good tune on my L44 turbo I might be able to get 150hp to the ground. Thinking about maybe putting a turbo on that 3.4 TDC too.

Is that a WRX?

Why no pics of the right side of that Accord?

I'll take that funny looking red car in front of the Forester.

It was fun. My old Victoracers even stuck OK after some treatment with the magic potion. I've autocrossed in the past six years, just not in my car. After driving a handful of other cars I'm reminded that the Fiero is not an easy car to drive fast. I think 80% of this problem could be solved with q...
