Dan...stopped playing on the Net and get back to work!

Did Joe say when and how he would be shipping the mount bushings as I find myself sitting here waiting for a delivery truck of some kind. Lots of work left but needing car on its own four wheels for a while to do it. Dan

[MacPhail]

Hmmm...I told him that you were waiting on them.   

What's his number again so that I can call him?

Cheers, Derek

[2ML67]

Joe's number is 416-747-5728. Dan

[MacPhail]

 

Ok...there was a miscommunication as he sent them via regular mail.   

Sorry 'bout that Dan.

Cheers, Derek

PS  Just got off the phone - they called back to ask for the billing address - and they said it came to $184 with shipping.  Does that sound right???

[Bradtholomew]

$184?  Damn.  I was in Toronto a couple days ago too, I could've picked 'em up for ya.  D'oh...

I'd just drive there for that cost.  Hell, I picked up a set of lowering springs from Joe a couple years ago using public transit, now that's a lot of fun!

I think mine were $150 plus tax last year when I got them.  Helped remove the bumb steering problems I had, definetely a lot better than the stock rubber ones. If you want to cancel the order I can solid mount the front and use the stock rears. Dan

May as well upgrade where possible (and feasible).  All the better for carrying around a Lambo body a few years down the road from now.

I like the diference poly mounts made on my car they are a bit expensive but worth the extra. Dan

Public transit??   Isn't that for people who don't have cars???

Ouch.  I guess you pay for "speedy" delivery.   

The last time I purchased a set of poly cradle bushings from the Fiero Store the US<->CAN exchange rate was closer to 80c on the dollar, and I still paid less than $110 CDN after the exchange and border fees.

[lacelles]

Bough some from www.suspension.com, came up to approx $70Can including shipping. They are 56$US.  Phone number is 1-800-291-5340 and the part number for 84-87 fiero is 7.502.

Ok before I go ordering some parts I need comfirmation on the approval to purchase them. The muffler I suggest is a magnaflow with one 2.5" i/p and two 2.5" o/p's which sound nice and fit quite well they are around $180 cdn. The exhaust pipes run around $75 cdn for the whole system. The aif fliter I suggest is a K&N which is 3" dia and fits in the wheel well but costs around $70 cdn. I found a good rad and tranny cooler for $65. These are normal costs on a swap of this kind. I do not charge labour for installing but I do not cover the cost of the parts. If you like I can try and find a decent Camaro muffler for cheaper or use a cheaper air filer but do not reccomend that route. Please let me know Dan

Go for it.  I was watching Overhaulin' last night and it was a Magnaflow that Foosse put on a tuned Civic.

Will the rear bumper accommodate the dual exhaust?  Will you have to cut the trunk out for the muffler?

Cheers, Derek

[2ML67]

Yes the bottom part of the trunk has to go to run that muffler. This would be a good time to put a GT style rear bumper back on when I put it all back together. It won't be blue but it will allow for proper running of dual exhaust. If not I can just run the tail pipes a little lower and point them down to help keep the heat off of the bumper.
This is going to be one nice safe Fiero when its done, I am welding new metal over all the holes I found in the trunk and wheel wells as well as replacing badly rusted brake lines and front flex lines as one of the flex lines cracked open when I took the caliper off to remove the cradle. Good thing I have lots of Fieo parts laying around looking for some where to go. Dan

[FieroBUZZ]

The question to be asked is 'does it have a lime green engine compartment?' The only true measure of a great Fiero.   

Someone please take Dan's welder away from him.  And you guys rag on me and my angle grinder.   

Should I mention that I found a nice ladies leather coat for my dash upholstery?  I'm bored and baby sitting.
