Well I’m looking at picking up a mill soon, and this little baby is taking up most of my shop space. So she needs to find a good home. I’ve got a handful of pics here http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh114/fierodude/fiero%20for%20sale/  but I have a couple hundred I’ve taken over the build.

That's a 10 1/2" tire on a 6" wheel.  A little wider and you'd have a roll-in profile like a motorcycle.  Wink

Wow you've put alot of work into that car. It would be a shame but you might get more $$$ by parting it out.

i could never bring myself to part her out. plus that would invlolve taking up more space. i'm trying to go in the other direction.

as for the tires to me they are the coolest looking thing ever. it's got that fat muscle car look to it. and suprizingly they are wearing even across the tread. the downside is there a pair of radial T/A's from the 80's, so just take a guess at what kind of traction they have.

i do have a nice set of 275/40 goodyear F-1's for the car but i cant find a set of 17's in the right pattern that i think look good on a fiero. i'd love to stumble across a nice set old of BBS's. Afro

honestly i'm not sure this will be my first foray into machining. mostly i've been looking at stuff i find on kijiji. my only limits are it has to fit in the shop, run on 220, and be less than $2000. which most of what i've seen is in the 36" bed range, and even a few with 80's looking CNC setup's.

but i've reached a point now were almost all my projests keep running into the limitation of "well that part doesn't exist" so the proper soloution is to start making the parts myself. Cool

Have you ever AutoX your car? You might want to advertise it on the MCO board. (www.mco.org) it would be a good cheap AutoX car for someone.

Be careful of the older CNC systems. Finding parts or someone to repair them can be difficult. The Acu-rite Millpwr systems are really good and easy to use but they rarely come up for sale and usually sell for more than $2000. We have eight of them at work.

Hey fierodude....

You said you would love to stumble across an old set of BBS's for your car.......well today is your lucky day dude!  I just happen to have a set in my garage which I bought back in 85 for my 85 GT!  I used them for autocross racing only and have probably only seen about 200 km's on the car.  They are mint, as good as new!  I think I paid about $1600.00 for them at the time!

I didn't even know there was autoXing around here. Ottawa is a bit of a trek but if I still have her come summer, I’ve got a road trip to make.

Ya I haven't even bothered looking at ones were I don't recognize the brand. But the problem is, being new to this I don't recognize most of the brands. lol I don’t suppose you can convince your work to drop one off real cheap eh? Afro

Mike

Well they sound out of my price range. But I’m interested size, specs, price, and pics pls.

Where do you live? The AutoX is run in the parking lot at Scotia Bank Place (where the senators play)

As for the mill we don't sell any we just keep buying them as they come up an hording them all to ourselves. LOL. I'd like to get a little mill at home like this http://www.syilamerica.com/. But I should get my lathe I've had sitting for 3 months set up and running first. I'll let you know if I come across anything.

I’m in Belleville so a 3 hour drive taking the scenic rout. shannonville is a 15 min drive down the road so i can get out there to play every now and then. but its just pay per lap and drag racing.
