Hey thanks man. I have been welding since I was 15, and now have 100's of hours of training at it, half the time I am at work I am welding, so that helps lol. Also anybody with enough will power can pull of the swap. It just takes a decent mechanical set up and TONS of time.Originally Posted by Joma

You may wanna get a new shift kit.
... Soon.
Nice ride though

Why, whats wrong with the ZZP shift kit? I hear they are all the same? Except that one comes with springs too or something like that? Not a trans guy.

Tends to be made of cheap quality and the spacers they send in the kit tend to mushroom very easily.

This thread is full of AWESOME!!
Love the Fiero bro, looks good
12-03-2012
Hey thanks! There will be plenty more awesome to come! I cannot wait to get this thing finished and dyno tuned!
12-02-2012
Exactly what Red said...
The spacers mushroom...bad..
My buddy did one in his gp....3k later when we had to tear the tranny apart..it wasn't even a shift kit anymore..more like a sh1t kit

Havent had much time to work on porting the second head yet, but I did have some more ZZP goodies waiting for me on the door step when I got home today!
Stainless exhaust valves

Headers!
12-04-2012
It's headers mine looked the same.
12-04-2012
^ yup mine to actually still have the box sitting in my garage. So 88formula what did I win?
12-04-2012
Headers! Sorry it took me a while to get back on here. Tons of stuff to do around the house, I dont know how I will ever get this car done!
1 9/16" primary's unlike the described 1.5, and also unlike what everyone on here says 1 3/4...
crossover on the 'inside' part of the slip joints is only 2 1/8"ish
The main collector and downpipe are all just shy of 3", and the flange for connection to your exhaust is only 2.5"
Overall, coming from a welder, I am pretty impressed with the quality. I dont even think I will need to touch up anything (although I havent fully inspected them yet) Definetly a major improvement from stock cast manifolds that measure barely 1"x1.5" ish at the primary's and barely over 1.5" at the necked up part of the crossover.
EDIT: I am wondering how well the headers finish will fair to the heat. I live in Georgia, so road grime/salt etc is not a problem. I original planned on painting them flat black... but wow that mirrored stainless finish sure would compliment my polished aluminum valve covers... 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!

Yeah I would love to have that on top of my motor... I wonder if anyone on here does blower polishing, and if so how much it costs...Saw a picture of someone who did that yesterday actually:
