Title: Welcoming myself! Post by: JetJumper on May 02, 2006, 10:20:57 pm haha, hey guys, long time no chat :P Hows things going with everyone? I see the Board is still active! Thats impressive! :) I didn't think that when I first set it up it would keep running, but look now! over 14000 posts! Awesome.
So, what brings me here.. lol.. well.. I have been thinking to myself lately, I have free time to kill and what should I do with it? Well, if all goes according to plan, I will be moving to a location with LOTS of spare room, and I figured, well if thats going to happen, why not take into Consideration a Project car. So I looked back to my Fiero Days and thought, why not pick up a Fiero again, and POSSIBLY... Drop in a 3800 SuperCharger or something else of a better motor, and then eventually do a Kit on the car. Lambo Style or something. So ya, I was doing research, looking around and finding out whats involved (A LOT.. lol) but I think I might take on the challenge and slowly go at it. (Kinda like Gary with his cars :P haha) So, once I get back from my vacation (leaving Thursday so I can't make the meet :( ), I will catch up with everyone! Well I am at it, anyone know of a Car for sale, extremely nice condition (Obviously :P) and in a good price range. Motor doesn't really mater for now, sinceI plan to swap, and perferably a newer model thats a GT style. Thanks for the look out guys! Chris. Title: Re: Welcoming myself!

3800, eh? Sounds like you've come to your senses... Remember this? (http://www.fierodrivers.com/forum/index.php?topic=1855.msg9163#msg9163) ;) Title: Re: Welcoming myself! Post by: JetJumper on May 03, 2006, 03:06:46 pm haha.. ya.. I do remember that.. but I am kinda thinking Kit now.. before it was that I wanted something for fun to do in the summer.. it was a little boring back then:P Now I want something to Cruise in town with :) and a 3800 in a fiero to start would be nice, then kit it with a Lambo Style or something. I want a Lamborghini, but don't want to spend $$$$$$ and don't have that kinda cash :P so, a fiero will be nice ;) haha.

Its a nice way to go for sure, but the price on those are expensive. I figure a fiero will cost me what.. $500-2000 depending? Then some mods to make the frame right... my neighbor can help there. So its a lot less then $18,000 CAD for the frame only. :(

about $1000 to $1500 in steel have a welder friend put it together for under or around $2000 $4000 total. Aaron . |
