That was a beautiful series of cars. Not only the nose treatment, but the not so obvious rear hips and coke bottle shape hump of the rear fenders. The rear lip spoiler is the ideal treatment to keep the long appearance when removing the spoiler.
I was looking at the engine compartment and I noticed that as it sits, there's possibility of some fire unless a wiring component is moved away from the Y-pipe heat shield. The EGR system has been removed and the crankcase rebreather from the front valve cover has been routed to some other location or eliminated. It doesn't go into the intake tube like ours. The entire metal tubes on the firewall that originally served the EGR and rebreather system has also been removed.
Then there is the intake. It was mentioned in the article that the intake had been opened up to allow better breathing. Knowing what we know of the intake, I assumed it was referring to the throttle body neck, but I see that the space between the cylinder runners has been filled. I remember seeing something on PFF about how someone reworked the upper intake in this manner. Our own FieroChild did that to one of his Fieros. I don't remember if it was Kermit, or the 86SE SCCA car.
Thanks for the article, Ron. My early morning feel-good.
