Hey I'm Blair and I live in Victoria. What part of the
island are you on? If you do any driving around Victoria/Mill Bay/Duncan you've probably seen my Fiero before :). |

Hey, if you guys get something together on the island, I'll see if I can get my Fiero over there one of these days and meet up with you for a cruise one day.

I used to have an Island Website up, I'll look and see if I can find the URL if you have a Webmaster, that knows FTP and HTML I can grant them access to build a new site.

Name is Don (Linlor on here) and I am in Victoria. I have two Fiero replica projects but always intersted in meeting up with other Fiero owners.
I may also get another Fiero for a driver as I might be trading my other daily driver for another project soon..... Keep us updated if you get any more info. Cheers Don |

Should I set aside a section of this forum for Island Chat, or would you guys prefer to keep it in General chat with the Mainland Guys.

Another islander here.
I'm in Duncan. I have a bit of a mixed up Fiero with a 3.4T/7730 with DIS in it. Blair, saw your car in Cow Bay a couple of days ago. Nice to see it out there. Mine is parked for another month or two. I have to clear some boats out of the yard! Chay |

Yep, 28,000 kms since the swap and counting! I've just about finished
collecting parts for my F23 swap. I even grabbed a whole running, driving 2000 sunfire for $400 :p. Same price as the wreckers wanted for just a trans. I might get a cam as well but haven't decided. Any new plans for your car this year? |

Just make what I have better for now.
I have a 3.4 TDC sitting in my basement now, so I'm going to work the 3.4 to see where I can go with it, and if it blows, maybe use the 3.4TDC, maybe go 3800 (Turbo either one of course). I messed with the wastegate before putting it away, and made some good gains. Really, I need some disposable $$$. A set of wheels and rubber are #1. I'm going to get some long stiff angle iron and start to dial the suspension. I think it's the easiest way to get repeatable settings at the accuracy required. It's just in the planning stages though. I want to lower it some, so I may do a weld mod to the 88 knuckles I saw on Pennocks (Allows lowering while retaining the proper camber). I have to cull the herd around here before I really put any time into it. (3 boats, 5 cars, etc). Chay |

Hmm 3800 definitely has the better aftermarket. I just got
my turbo 3500 running in my Firebird last week and I plan on pushing that engine pretty far :). I might be willing to sell my Momo 16x7.5 wheels once I get some rubber for my 18s. I only paid $200 for them so I'd sell them for $150. Some are curbed a bit but none of them have any problem holding air and they drive straight. Rubber on them isn't bad but the tires are all mismatched. They're a bit shorter than the stock 14" tire size. My friend was able to get a 1.9 sec 60-ft. time with them though. |

Im in Nanaimo. Iv known the owner that used to own your car. Iv seen it drive around town once in awhile.
you might have seen my car. Its a white 85GT. sporting the 2 different type and size rims. Red hood. Loud exhaust. I think a cruise down to Tofino in the summer would be quite nice. |
