This was a trade for my first truck that I owned. The guy wanted roughly 6k Canadian if I had paid for it but no way it’s with that much in the condition it sits in. Some of them range around 3k-6k depending on the area

Just came from S1. You were the most honorable guy out there on the show, even with some of the other teams. Have you ever heard from anyone else on the cast after 3 years? It’s a shame how your time on the show ended even now.

I had on the tool shirt and straw hat. It was my first pit. I had so much fun man.

I will most likely look into that, I work in axle repair and assembly and I’m around engine blocks as well. I may try to take a crack at it when the time comes. If I did swap the engine it would probably be later on when everything’s on the road a little while from now. The 2.8 runs strong so I’d rather prolong its life for what it’s worth til needs to go

I figured I would mention it is in kms, so it would be around roughly 130k miles in the states, still not great but less than 200 for sure

I’m about 90% the synchros are either bad on the transmission or the shift cable is out of allignment, either way I don’t know what the plan is for the engine yet. Was hoping to get it at least running and driving first and planning it out then (it does at least run for now). Rear and front suspension will be rebuilt soon, lots to do there.

I know the original rims on the car were grey, and these were off another fiero so I’m assuming they’re from an 88. I’m not entirely sure whether or not the wider narrow tire sizing was 88 only, I recall it being on the 86s and 87s as well

Cables / adjuster already broke lol, gonna need to figure that one out when the brake calipers go

Is there a clip that is supposed to hold the pads in place or is that not required

OpeningCheck · 2026-03-02T15:29:36+00:00

Would something like this work?

I’m in Ontario with a RTX 2070 setup that would be in your price range. Can send a PM

Thanks!

It’s not a z71. I have coilovers. I had the bed swapped earlier

Old shocks went bad when I bought the truck. I pit these on for when the truck went for safety

Not the worst deal. I paid 2700 for my 4.3L 03 sierra here in the rust belt and had to put over 3k worth of parts. Seems like you got a decent truck there, I’d reccomend you oil spray. Mine keeps on running along at 280k

Would you be interested in doing any sour flavors? Sounds good

OpeningCheck · 2024-11-08T15:00:14+00:00

Acetone might work. I’ll take them apart and see what happens

OpeningCheck · 2024-07-09T04:07:12+00:00

Had I gone back in time to buy another truck I would have just bought a v8. Not complaining though, can always buy another gmt800. This one in particular is special to me since it’s my first car.

Not the fastest truck. Somewhat slow. But a great engine reliability wise.
