I bet you guys are going to hate this color

[wa2fastcamaro]

Well I got bored and was looking through the posts and found the car I was trying to buy, g35girl has the eclipse I was trying to buy. I was even going to trade my Camaro and some cash for it. But damn that girls parents took it right out of my hands. If you saw it driving around before it sold, that was me, I took it for aobut a hour to check it out. I am not much of a fan of imports, but I loved that color, and my girlfriend (or actually soon to be wife) would have gone nuts over the car. Well since that little rick girl got it, I figured I would go a different route.

I have been building this 1985 Fiero SE for my girlfriend, its currently black and she drives it every day, but comming up next month it goes back in to the garage for a GT conversion and a new paint job. Guess what color I am going to use, yep the same pink that is on g35girl's eclipse. United Automotive Tech told me the color and I baught a gallon of the paint, actually it is link a pearl rose. Three stage paint, white first then the color, and you can make it lighter or darker by how many coats it gets. So ya in August you should see a Pink Fiero, and hopefully the pink interior will be done too.

I hope to have the body done this year and do the engine this winter. It currently has a 4cyl auto with a engine knock, I got a new 4cyl it will get in a coupla weeks, but hopefully this winter it will get a small block chevy.

So what do you guys think. LOL

g35girl used to own that car. It is some high school girl from Moorhead's car now.

you were right about my opinion of the color.

pink=gay in my books. But I guess for a girl... That goes for all you pink shirt wearing flamers too!!!

[amicheze]

hey man.. to each their own. definitely not something id do.. but as long as you like it.. thats cool.

but.. consider a turbo motor instead of a chevy motor.

As I don't plan to drive it, its dosen't matter to me. Shel just loves pink, I don't mind the color too much, just another color to me. I am doing it because I love her and something shes always wanted was a pink car.

As for guys who wear pink shirts, I think they are screwed up, damn fruit cakes.

I actually am debating opening a used car lot. I found out women go crazy over pink cars and they sell really good because of the color. So maybe next year, I will start selling pink cars. lol

I do not like turbos, not my cup of tea. Superchargers maybe, but no turbos for me.

... uhh...

and why is that?

You like pink cars, and don't like turbos.. hmm...

[94NDTA]

HEY! There is no law that says you can't have a turbo chevy motor. Do both! I would drop a chevy motor in if I had to choose. There is more room to grow that way....and more TQ.

thats true.. but they made turbo fieros back in the day.. so i figured thatd be easier than a chevy swap.

dude stop bitchin bout the car jus cuz she bought it doesnt mean shes rich, well maybe but n e ways why dont u try a different color than wut others have pick something u havnt seen around yet. im kinda still looking but i dont think a fiero would look good in pink.

Hey, I'm going to be swapping my Bored and stroked v6 out of my 86 fastback for a "massaged" 327. My engine makes good power and is very reliable. Are you puting a stock 2.5 back in? I've painted mine twice so make sure you use a flexative in the paint or it wont last long! Good luck

[pushin'psi]

sorry....I didn't think the 1st one went through

What are you going to do with you old engine. I am looking for a V6 for my 87 GT. My girlfriends car will get to keep the 2.5 as she dosn't want to go fast and it gets great gas milage. But I am getting a 86 SE with a Northstar 4.1 V8 this Saturday, so she might get that one instead.

I know about the flexable paint, I have painted 4 of these cars, I use the same stuff like they use for rubber bumpers. I might not paint this one though, as the complexity of the paint job, I know a guy in Chicago who does custom Fiero's, that will probally do it for me and some body mods.

If you are intrested in selling that engine, shoot me a e-mail or PM. I want something for my GT with a little umph.

G35 girl USED to own it, mommy and daddy supposidly bought everything for that car.. now shellster05 (I think thats her name on here) owns it. the paint has faded really bad. the car fits the new owner though, she's really nice.

That would have fit my girlfriend perfectly and saved me a lot of money. But what the heck, half the fun is building the car. I was thinking of doing a fiero since I have 6 of them, but might stray to something else this winter. Wonder what I should buy her. Has to be front wheel drive, automatic and loaded. humm...

If I only had the money for that little eclipse, but I bet I would ahve driven it more than her. I had 8 grand at the time, but not enough and couldn't get a loan. I liked the color though, pain to take care of though.

I am thinking Moulin Rouge or panther pink instead for her car now.

[cavalier_babe]

yea, neons are a pain in the ass I guess to deal with cause they fade really bad. and I guess they over priced that eclipse really bad. just make your girlfriend's car different, like a one of a kind... make it unique. she'd probably happy to have a unique car...

and PSiedTSI, you don't have to be rude, it's un called for. I'd rather pay for my own things for my car instead of have mommy and daddy pay for it all... if it's just the car, and no after market things, thats one thing, but everything, thats goin overboard... it's not a big deal if they help out a little though

how was that rude? your way more rude by coming on here and commenting about her parents buying her the car etc...god damnit how many times does this discussion have to come up? if you wanna go buy all your parts go for it...a lot of us do just that but damn if my parents are gonna buy me a car and parts for it shit you think i am gonna turn it down? hell no...im gonna jump all over that chance...

[/this mommy and daddy discussion AGAIN]

[STiSchucky]

Its true. just to include anything that has to do with "mommy and daddy" is just asking for an argument. i mean, why do you gotta include it anyways if it has nothing to do with what g35 girl was proving? everybody knows it, nobody cares, only you and you keep letting it bother you. i dunno why it does.

My parents bought my car-whoopty friggen do. i dont act like im 10 levels better then you in the game of life cause I was given somethin expensive. you're the only person on this board that brings it up, and it gets old. You are no better then any the rest of us cause you had to work so hard on something that hasnt even been paid for yet, which wont be done until after winter, which is what they all say. If i wanted to, I could have 3 different jobs right now but I dont wanna, so I only have 2 and work 35+ hours a week, depending.

but tony(psiedtsi) wasnt the rude one, you were, bringing it up all snotty and everything just to spark an argument and try to prove that your better then she is cause you buy your own self.

again nobody cares.
