First here with a Fiero and a TVR?

[orphancars]

Hello fellow addicts!

I have been lurking for a while here -- great advice, great group. I always seem to find things here to help with my projects.

I have 2 unusual projects -- not the typical muscle cars...............I seem to fall towards that Colin Chapman go-fast/add-lightness way of thinking.

The first completed car is my 1986 Fiero. It's not your typical "son, those thar things catch on fahr!", faded paint, cracked body panel, one headlight popped up Fiero, nosiree bob. It took a few years, but the interior is all new/custom, custom front and rear suspension, 12" Corvette calipers/eradispeed rotors, new 5 speed trans with GM Performance Parts limited slip diff. And the stock V6 has been tossed in favor of a SBC with TPIS cam/intake/chip.

It has been finished for a couple of years, been spending the past couple of years troubleshooting things, getting from 90% reliable to 100% drive it anywhere reliable. Should dyno it in the next couple of months, hope to do a local autocross or two as well.

Here are some pics -- info on the TVR coming next..............

PS -- yes, that's a pic of the Fiero next to a Panoz Esperante. I got one to drive free for a weekend. Amazing car -- amazing that someone would want to pay over $100k for a convertible Mustang Cobra. Up close those look like a larger than normal miata
