I really like those ausie scoops.

I have heard many a rumor of this car, nice to finally see some pics of it. I wonder which engine is going to go into this car. I know the builder of the car does some really clean engine installs.

Latest update: Clynt picked up a hardtop roof, (gone is sun roof), the lines
flow better this way. He also picked white trunk lid and fenders/looks like choptop might be turning white on Clynt. 
That's looking really sharp! |

My god that is huge. I have had 26.5" tall tires on my 85GT and those are a full inch taller. I hope you have a good trans to put in front of those massive tires, as with any spirited driving, it is going to tear things apart. Congrats on getting something custom made up and fitted on the car. For those that are interested, take a pop over to http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/ - http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/ and play around.
The stock Fiero rear tire size is 215/60/14 or 215/60/15 for GT's. I have fit 225/60/16 on the rear of a Fiero that has been dropped 2 inches. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

I betcha some of those shark-fin things along the top of the rear window would up your top speed or highway fuel mileage a wee bit :D Personally I can't give up on the amazingly excellent rear vision a wingless Fiero has. Then again, I don't run into any traction issues with the stock V6 either. But if you have more power... a Fiero GT (with the headlights down) has a better CD than the Veyron, so I figure it can spare a bit for the sake of downforce. You'll still need a very big engine to hit 400 km/h, though. |

Those are definitely bright enough! Depending on whether they're the HID units or not, they're either the brightest or second brightest lights (with the best pattern either way) that you can get on a Fiero. All you need is the four lights, plug adapters and a new headlight bucket. There's a dude in (I think) Germany that makes them.

Those are my old "CSI WHEELS" back in '88 we wanted stock looking mags (with mesh). Front 16"X7" rear 16X8" ( +35 offset) Clynt has brought new life to them rear 16"X10" Their not around anymore, I think Smurf (WCF club member) works for a wheel company should know who manufactured the CSI WHEELS ?

Clynt's Panda Chopper... Okay, just joking, it won't stay this way! So finally went to visit Clynt's shop, he is still having fun tweaking here and there... 
The wing went back on (he has two deck lids, one with wing and one without, so he can switch over anytime). I like it better without or trim wing ends a bit (but, that's my taste only) What do you guys think? 
Next, he's going to do something with the rear bumper and tweak it. ------------- Johnny-B-Good

Stabilizers don't increase top speed, per se, but they stabilize at high speeds, allowing one to run safely at a higher speed than without. Much like rear-diffusers do. This car goes beyond amazing. And does anyone happen to know how he protected the subs and enclosures from being damaged, as they're partially in the engine bay. And now I feel like my subwoofer enclosures arn't so original...

Next time you see Clynt, give him a poke and ask him if he has forgotten to swap anything. In those pics, he has not moved the valve cover yet. Just jokingly ask him how he will put oil in the car with the oil cap being on the firewall side rather than the trunk side.
Really glad to see another 4.9 hitting the streets. Now if I could just get enough time to put mine back on the road. Oh how I miss the sound and torque of that car.

Very cool Clynt, have you decided which car is going to get the Turbo? I know the 4.5 will rev better due to the shorter stroke, but I think you will see more gain on the 4.9 as it has to struggle more to get enough air in, plus the extra 30 ci, should be a notable gain when boosted. Have you done the Mustang Injector upgrade yet. Its on my to do list here. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |
