Title: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: GNFIERO3.8 on June 23, 2004, 05:29:02 pm Hey everyone,
Just saw the forum through PFF, thought i'd join in on the fun! 8) I'm 23 and I'm from Timmins Ontario. I'm an artist, photographer, and i love fieros....i'm on my third one! Here's my car. -'85 GT -Supercharged(yes supercharged, 1995 super coupe) 3.8L from a Grand National.(less than 150km) -hypo uthectik pistons-7.9 to 1 compression -4t60 Tranny -Axle- ETN CV5087 ETN CV5088 -custom guages -custom rear hood vent and extended spoiler legs. -racing carb and street carb.(Holley) -American Racing Rims -the seat covers and floor mats are cheesy, but they are there to protect the flawless seats and original mats. Hope you like the pics.....I'd like to know more about car shows and meets since i now have a perfectly running car. Enjoy (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/back.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/IMG_0831.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/IMG_0833.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/IMG_0835.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/IMG_0840.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/in.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/side.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/img_0884.jpg) (http://zoland.sc/x/pff/w1/img_08851.jpg) Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: Sentinel on June 24, 2004, 11:22:20 am Hey very nice car, welcome to the forum.

Nice car ! Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: GoFast85 on June 24, 2004, 12:17:33 pm Nice ride! I also have a 3.8 supercharged. Where did you get that air intake plumbing? Sure looks sharp. I have to change mine around this summer.
Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: heheheha on June 24, 2004, 01:15:17 pm Wow - that's really nice. Looking at that engine...how difficult is it to install the 3800SC? Also, what are the 1/4 mile times like with it?
Really sweet looking Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: Kevin on June 24, 2004, 01:18:39 pm I like that car and the way you have that Grand National engine set up is unique. I am sure that a few of us would like to see some buildup pics and information. Welcome aboard. Kevin

I have to change mine around this summer. thanx! all the parts for my car were ordered up here from uptown auto parts.......i can ask them what their source is for you Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: GNFIERO3.8 on June 25, 2004, 06:00:16 pm Wow - that's really nice. Looking at that engine...how difficult is it to install the 3800SC? Also, what are the 1/4 mile times like with it? his buildup pics should help........i'll have to get a hold of him to email them to me.Really sweet looking the guy who installed my engine told me that with the racing carb, it will do a quarter mile in or very close to 11 seconds, running at 13 pounds of boost......and since he just dropped off a dettachable reinforced subframe, i think he means it!...but i'm gonna see for myself, i'll definitely keep you posted though....i also added some things in my original post that you should definitely look at if you're thinking of doing this. The axle is a combination of 2 axles, the guys at Uptown were nice enough to make a part number for it so i don't have trouble getting another one if i need it, or if someone else does........any questions let me know i'll get you the answers. hope i can help!

Kevin it was all shot with a digicam so he probably has it all in the archives, i'll ask him for some and let you know....he installed it so that i can just take it all out and slap it in any fiero, same pattern...smart guy!

I see nothing but a ladder of white dots above. if you're still having problems with the pics let me know and i'll send 'em, might just be a minor outage though ???

Working now, but I'm at home instead of at work this time. The office has some annoying & unpredictable web-filtering software, so who knows what the problem was? ::) In any case... nice ride! Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: GNFIERO3.8 on January 06, 2005, 07:20:03 pm hey! noticed the hosting site for my pics stopped hosting, so i thought i'd get some pics of my car up again, she's all packed away for the winter.

yeah she's really quick, sounds nice too! The first time I went for a spin, I was changing lanes while sipping a coffee, and I hit the gas like I normally would to change lanes in my previous Fieros....my head whipped back and i was burned by fresh Tim Hortons coffee, luckily my chest, legs and face caught the coffee and not my seats though ;D James Title: Re: Hey, I'm new...here's my 85GT Post by: GNFIERO3.8 on January 07, 2005, 11:11:37 am Nice ride! I also have a 3.8 supercharged. Where did you get that air intake plumbing? Sure looks sharp. I have to change mine around this summer. i previously said that this intake was a part ordered from uptown auto which is only partially correct. The intake had to be cut apart and modified to fit my setup, so if you had a weird setup like mine, you may have a hard time finding something that would suit it like this one. |
