I don't expect any awards. The great conversations at traffic lights are more than enough for me and the Finiero.

I have more photos at www.finiero.com

Very unique car. What kinda power you think it's putting to the ground?

[SikMindz]

It's like Lotus meets VR4 meets Bug.

I'm gonna give you my thumbs up though. It's interesting especially with the crate motor in it. What kind of numbers/times do you THINK you're at?

[Goldfever]

Its interesting indeed.

[Matt95GT]

Very unique. How do you work on the engine? Do you need scaffolding? lol

[jeremy96gase]

You've ogt a great looking car!

Are thoughs integra corner lights?
Stock 4speed? damn.

[90Grandamn]

That's kinda cool looking. Like a Solstice and a Lotus love child. And the 350 must be bad ass in that. Good luck with it!

[Finiero]

Thanks for the comments. Unique indeed! I have a conversation with someone at every traffic light, it seems.

Yes - it is a blast to drive. The engine is just torq-ee right now being out of the box. It's not even broken in yet. The clutch needs a few more miles on it before it gets pushed hard, but it sounds MEAN! I think it only pushes 220hp tops but the torque should be higher. I can't wait to get it to the track.

Like any other Fiero, simple engine things can be done from above, but serious repairs (clutch, oil pan and etc) are better done with a cradle drop.

I just bought a T-top frame with A/C so I will be moving everything over soon - for a better look and a cooler ride.

Thanks again!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet


definitely beats the dune buggy i saw tearing up the city streets the other day..

[BlackJack]

yeah, that thing is HOT, but for safety's sake, PLEASE dont hit any stationary objects with it (walls, cars, etc.) cuz you'd be wearing that SBC in your spine :)

[90Grandamn]

I think the fuel tank is the armrest in those too...

[BlackJack]

no...you're thinking of the M2 series Bradley Fighting Vehicle....

[Finiero]

I'll avoid the walls and large pedestrians just to keep the spark plugs out of my rear end.

Actually, the Fiero did better than most in crash tests, but I am sure the seatbelt and steering wheel would not feel good if the car made a sudden stop against a slow- (or non-) moving object!

The headlights are custom just for this car. Actually, I am trying to find a set of C5 Vette headlights. I think that will really set the car off from the rest.

Thanks for looking!
