|
Re: project reach-around
Awesome! I can't wait to see this thing driving.
|
Re: project reach-around
got a new msd box and a cheap coil to test it and it did run tonight only for a few seconds but it ran.
no just have to time the car and replace the therm. housing that I just bought because it leaks. other than that put the interior back in it and put the moldings back on. |
Re: project reach-around
Looking great man!!!
|
Re: project reach-around
I would love a ride in this car when its done, I have never even seen one of these run. Like see it on the road when it does a pull.
|
Re: project reach-around
Looking good, these are pretty quick, a buddy of mine has got one. I put $125 towards this car lol. I bought the bumpers, s/s's and spoiler off the talon.
|
Re: project reach-around
well thank you for that. try to get a video of it later when we get it running at more than small intervals
|
Re: project reach-around
well it runs, but it does need a new water pump the one we have just doesnt cut it.

Sweet man, congrats on gettin' her going.
Let me know how the first tranny swap goes ;) |
Re: project reach-around
Sweet!... can't wait for a ride!
|
Re: project reach-around
great job, sounds pretty mean!!
|
Re: project reach-around
well we'll see on the tranny but really it would only take a couple hours to do so no big deal.
but my dads down screwing around with the carb to make it work better. so only things left are new water pump, get the new plates on it and get insurance back on it. tires are a must as well |
Re: project reach-around
Is it a long waterpump motor? If so I have a basicaly brand new Edelbrock Victor series WP
|
Re: project reach-around

Re: project reach-around
Awesome project! Glad its come together and your getting the bugs worked out, looks like a super fun car to drive.

Re: project reach-around
How the hell did I miss this thread?
Talk about a major case of deja fucking vu. Jaei Sun where are you? Love the fastback GT, getrag 5 speeds hold up well. I hate to say it but I just threw away an almost complete getrag about two weeks ago. I do still have beefer axles that you can build out of the stock axles if you want them. I for the record never had issues with my drivetrain other than burning up clutches until I got SPEC to make one for the Fiero. I sent a bunch of old clutches to ACT as they seemed interested but they never came through in the end. Nice aluminum Archie kit. the angle iron front mount is ghey and I ended up welding it to the cradle. I have a bigger front bar if you want one, a rear sway bar is a must on these cars, no they didn't come with one unless it was an 88 but then again that a whole different and better rear suspension (no bump steer.) CSI electric waterpump is the way to go, I actually pioneered the use of that pump in a V8 Fiero swap back when the masses were pushing the shitty moroso electric pump. One look at my setup by Archie at the Wis Dells show back in 2000, now Archie uses CSI all the time on his setups. Also got SPEC to build a nice six puck clutch for the Getrag in the Fieros. All this took place back in the 1998-1999 for me. Craig I want a ride! here are some photos of my small block chev fiero GT before it got rearended and I sold it. http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/uploads/16/pic6.jpg http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/uploads/16/side.JPG more photos in http://www.mitsustyle.com/photopost/...ser=16&cat=500 |
Re: project reach-around
