The turbo kit I got from PBJ puts the turbo right over the tranny. I think he kept the trunk. My N* has no trunk right now. There's room to build a shallow one.

Quaife makes a nonslip differential for the f40. It sells for 520 pounds which converts to about $1000. That's more than twice what I paid for my trans, but it's good to know that the option is there.

V8Archie want $1700 for the installation kit which includes the axles. He hasn't done a N* yet, but says he's willing if he gets the dimensions of the clutch flywheel etc. The G6 uses a dual mass flywheel.

The 240sx has a dash that has been installed in Fieros. Also Grand Am dashes. There is a guy (Amida) on kitcar.com who does Ferrari interiors that are great and expensive.

I stopped by on my way back from San Diego with my new 87 GT roadster. It's always fun to get together with fellow Fiero enthusiasts and I got to take a look at Chris Aurora with the NSX trans and Weber carb fuel injection. He is going to twin turbo it. All in all a great bunch of guys and well wort...

I think craftsman is a decent quality, but if the issue is breakage, you don't want a broken tap in the hole you're working on even if they'll give you a new one for free.

That was what I did when I bought a car that didn't have a lug nut key. It wasn't a cheap one and it didn't destroy it.

Yeah, the inside one was. The outside you couldn't see until you slid the part back a ways. I still felt a little stupid for not seeing it. Thanks again, I love the internet!

Was that Mr Fieros car? Built by Chris Moore? I almost bought it once. I always had the feeling that there was something wrong. He said he wanted to sell it so that he could get a bugeye Sprite I think. That didn't make any sense to me. I have a 55 Healy with a 302 set way back in the frame, now tha...

Basically ran two 1 by 4 box beams laid sideways and connected the front and rear suspension. Somewhat similar to an Ifg frame that I have but without the x frame. I would like to have frame rails in the rockers and alongside the tunnel. I also suspect that closing the gas tank tunnel to make it a t...
