Oh well, i was hoping you'd buy into it... After all the fiero sucks ass, i mean, it's like 2006 now, get with the times. the fiero is ugly and the engine is midway. My opinion is golden and all qutomobile owners should agree with me.

Hey, while you're at it, ditch that archaic Amiga computer.  Shouldn't everybody.  I think all computer owners would agree.


Anyway...


Like I said, upgrading cars is more rewarding than upgrading to a cpu with twice the clockspeed but only yeilds a 25% increase in actual computing power.

Interestly enough, most cars are considered mid-engine.  This is because most of the engine sits either behind the front axle or in the Fiero's case infront of the rear axle.  It's not "midway" as you put it.  Also beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I could just as easily say whatever you drive is ugly and I believe by my standards it would be.

Get with the times?  So all classic and antique car owners should just drop their cars off at the boneyard, eh?  The only difference here is I don't feel the need to keep my car factory original.  The Fiero chasis is an excellent platform in more ways than you know, I am merely enhancing everything else about it.

And if you honestly believe these cars are ugly, get your eyes checked: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/027741-6.html

Just wondering how this thread became a discussion of Fiero Automobiles and got away from Amiga Computers in general.

Call me silly.

It happened when I mentioned that I wanted to mount a GC running hopefully AROS in my Fiero.

I prefer a Shelby mustang gt 500.

I actually did some consulting work for Factory Five Racing and my brother used to work in the shipping department there... https://www.factoryfive.com

but I prefer these: http://www.ifgonline.com/
the tubular suspension is the one I'm adding to my car...

So, how much does a fanboy make as a consultant?

[Louis Dias]

And what am I a fanboy of?  Factory Five makes Mustang-based Shelby Cobra kits.  I don't care for Mustangs or Cobras.  Some nice people do work their and they do make quality products so I can't knock that.

Their latest supercar involves a custom chasis with a rear-mounted Corvette motor.  Looks great but still not for me.  I prefer cars over racing machines.  Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed every day.

Phweeww, at least it's not catch on fire cheap ass made from chevette parts fireos.

Thats why on one of thoes links you posted, you tout how youve gotten an extra measly 10hp from messing around with your own exhaust crap? Please, this reads like your other arguments in this thread.

Dude, please post pix of your car and crap, so i can say nice job instead of yeah right. I used to turn wrenches for a living, and god help me i hope i never have to get into that business again, but i can see how it can be fun for guys as a hobby.

As for your vb.net experience, if you could wire up a daq to a windows mobile device, you could write an ECM for the fiero, and it would boot quickly. You could have all kinds of tunable  peramiters for the engine tweakers, and it  would be fast enough on a 400MHz arm device ( ipaq ). Sure the geeks would make fun of you, but the car guys would probably love it.

Write some wrapper code so you could interface that to a windows mobile device, and call from vb.net and you would end up with a sellable product. All an engine needs to run is fuel/ spark/timing/ compression. Fuel and compression is mechanical and analog. All you have to do is handle timing readings and sparc timings. Ignore emissions crap. Not too hard is it?

Sample crank and cam positions, measure fuel/air ratios, etc, spark at right times baesd on tunable parameters based on sensor readings...
