If you could some time when convenient, post me a picture of them? I would love to leave the stainless finish as it is if it will last a decent amount of time..

On my previous set never had a issue w/ heat here In Florida. Love the stainless color but of course they'll turn all rainbowish after a few starts up. Quality is good for $200 headers I just picked another set up a few months back still waiting to install. Only issue I'm having is finding a ship to modify the dip area without charging me a butt load of money.

I have heard of this issue, and will have to see how it goes for my own build. I am sure I can modify it at the shop if need be.
 
And it's a Fiero so clearance may not be a issue for you plus your a welder anyways so no issues if you have to hack em up lol.
 
Re: The Fiero from Hell!

I haven't cleaned them at all since install in 6/11

Definetly have the rainbow going on, but I just may leave them uncoated...

I am using the gtp motor and trans, so all those clearances are the same, but surprisingly there is more engine bay space in the fiero lol, only problem is squeezing a muffler in there somewhere, but I have done a good amount of research to what others have done on fiero forums.
 


Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Thats after a winter and salt too. I'm sure they would clean up good with some elbow grease
 
Re: The Fiero from Hell!

I got mine used from a member here, they look just like that. Copper tinted with underlying rainbow color. Really interesting looking, but VERY functional and no leaks. I love them. If you want to coat them do it before you install them, otherwise just let them change.

Really been contemplating looking into getting my blowers exterior polished, but not sure how much that would cost, and know for a fact I dont want to tackle it myself!

Saw a picture of someone who did that yesterday actually:

Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Well I found some time at work today to do a little bit of work on my exhaust, and attempted with every pulley puller we have to remove the blowers pulley... and looks like I will be renting one from a vendor! lol I also stripped the hole on the tip where the stock pulley's bolt goes... hopefully this is not an issue down the road!

Removed the what I have been told is "crappy" flex that came on the speed daddy headers. Already have a ZZP 3" purchased.

Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Reptile at one point in time did polishing. Whether he still does them or not... I dunno. Send him a PM and see.
 
Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Well today was pretty busy at work, but I did manage to cut some metal for my complete 180* U bend for the exhaust.

Still waiting on a few things to arrive... and need to finish porting the second head, but then it will be re assembly time ;)
 
Re: The Fiero from Hell!

I have found the speed daddy/slp style to be nearly impossible to install into fieros correctly... I built one fiero using them and NEVER again will I do that....

pace setter style... cheaper and easier, and you can keep the full trunk with a full sized muffler!

I will be doing a very similar setup to that, I dont need a trunk and planned on removing just about the entire bottom section if not the whole thing. What sort of issues did you deal with with the speed daddys?
 


Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Got my cam and timing set installed over the weekend, did some port work on the second head, and got my MPS installed... After using the ZZP pulley puller and seeing how simply made it is yet how affectively it works I am going to be working on making my own copy of it at work today! More pics to come soon!

I may be dreaming, but I think with mods I have done I should be able to get a 3.1 or even a 3.0 pulley dialed in once it comes to dyno time. A local I met on here refered me to a great dyno tuner, he told me he took his GP with just bolt ons and a ZZP 1.0 there and they managed to get 75 more horses out of it!
 
Re: The Fiero from Hell!

Just to be that guy:

New rocker bolts (Buy reusable)
New head bolts (buy studs)

That's it.

Thread sealant on the LIM bolts.
