Red to Grimm Dragon

thanks , also went out today and picked up Two diff sawzalls, and I have been asked by Airbagit.com to design the 84-87 front airbag setup so they can build it for me....  this is the only resolution I have found for the airbag problems, think that I will be just designing and building the front setup for myself, have a hard time doing the r&d on something like this for free and letting a company that I am not affiliated with make money on it.  Will keep you all posted on the outcome of the suspension, this is the only thing keeping the project from moving forward.

I say build it.
Then phone them and tell them it works great.  Then hang up.

well my 1.5" wheel spacers are on their way and I go to pick up the intake on Saturday which is going to be awesome

Basically I am collecting all of the parts that I can think of that I will need and then when I get the suspension all figured out I can goto town on the rest, still trying to find a place in the states to get my cage shipped since Jegs doesn't ship them to Canada or PO boxes..

I have started designing the airbag stuff on autocad, what a steep learning curve that is...

That's it for now, will keep you all posted

 

"Hagans of Blaine" is the place to get larger packages dropped.

It's just a normal shipping address in the eyes of the shipping company.
You just call and get 'registered' with them (free), then you have the package shipped to:

"Your name"
12345 xyz street <-- hagans address that I can't remember
Blaine, Wa.
98230

$2.  $3 if they have to call you and say it's ready to go.

Unfortunatly they do not accept pallets

 

On a good note got the headlights today so I guess that is one more piece of the puzzle, now if only the weather would cooperate so I can actually start putting some of these parts into the car. Maybe I should finish the suspension first   lol

Yea i think I agree on the cardboard brackets... then again maybe I should install the new headlights.... or ... or ....

Focus on only one thing at a time trust me on this one. Soon enough there will be nothing "completed" on the car and the wife will have you living in it lol

Looking good so far, you just have to sort out the angle on the bottom and you are set. Well then you can mount the top and also run a line.... I wanna see it tucking dammit !!!!

Duck wrote: Really? You're running a TPI setup? The L98 engine came out in... '85, IIRC. I know aftermarket companies have managed to squeak out more power from that intake, but I would have imagined you'd be going for a bit more top-end power. The TPI manifold falls on its face after about 5500 RPM. They were meant to make power down below 4500.  I was imagining you'd be going for something a bit more high-tech like at least an LS1, or even just an LT1 which revs much better. I still think you should go with the LS376, or maybe an LSX block at least. They'll support well over 1000hp and the whole engine design is far superior to the old stuff.  Anyway, with that much power, it doesn't *really* matter what design you go with. The TPI still has one of the coolest-looking manifolds ever.  :)   Cheers, Kris

Trust me ducky, this is just the interm motor till I can afford the one that I have planned for the car and trust me it is a little more high tech then the old tpi setup

I thank you very much ,i think i will take you up on that... I will pm you
when i am ready to order

I would pay admission fee just to see that installed.  Ain't no way in hell you are squezzing that in a Fiero, not even sideways.  Unless you cut the strut towers out completly and moved them over about 4" on either side.

 

You NUTZ, I can't wait to see this all come together.
