I still have a preference to the Monza tips if you are going to run 2 dual tips. They have a mini muffler inside them to get rid of the rasp out of the exhaust so you only hear the good tones. Kinda makes a 2.8 sound exotic in my opinion. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Totally in love with this car ! Hopefully my v-8 Archie choptop will look half as good when i am finished ! Jon what size wing stands are those ? I have 5" ones from the fiero warehouse, and plan to extend the wing tips by 1 or 2". Going to also be doing the closed mouth chin spoiler, and hopefully the new v-8 archie widebody. Wish i had your skills,..would save me a ton of $ !! Again keep up the good work !

Hi exoticse:
Archie's wide body will look great too! I wish my car was at Archie's for a transplant. I got the 5" wingstands from the fiero warehouse to and I fibreglassed flares onto them (the fiero warehouse is now selling flared wingstands). I extended the wing tips 2" but decided to trim off about 1/2"-3/4". Yeah, so far the cost has been very little, also....." it's fun doing it" ! So, are you going to keep the wing instead of going with the spoiler trend like TroyBoy and MadCurly? Actually, I was thinking of going that way too, I would tweak it more to be different. |

Some fun shots... Good comparison between "stock" and "chopped" 
The gold Fiero almost looks like a sedan next to the chopper? |

Wow, that is a major difference. The car looks amazing as always. Can't wait to see it in person again. When is the next tech session?

John what does your suspension front and back consist of ? The stance is perfect.

Not for me, RBS is going to be dropped 1" all around, also fenders trimmed for more travel. What RBS has now... Rear: WCF coil over kit 300lb 8" springs with KYBs, (with the 3800SC it bottoms out), will be going with 400lb 7" springs. Front: 1-1/2" lower springs (not cut) with KYBs, I'll keep that as is for now. STAY TUNED... Next week I'll be doing the suspension (on a Budget) step by step with detailed pics of what not to do

Today dropped by for a Latte and a muffin at Euphoria Chocolates after visiting went off to the wrecking yard and found windshield and frame for RBS ( she'll be happy about that). 
Another Cafe Racer Blair built, this ons really fits me nice (might be thinking of building one) |

That would be pretty damn awesome. Give RBS a little two-wheeled sister to play with. As for dropping the car more... Can you? It already sits so low, I'd have assumed you're rather close to the bumpstops now. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

Yes, RBS Cafe Racer chopped a bit lower and all blacked out ! Indeed it is, (just dropping one more inch) I'll be raising front and rear bump stops. RE-EDIT Tristan's solo ride video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1d4qfN8rcs - HERE |

Pfft, "trying" to look cool. I exude awesomeness. When I get up in the morning, the day gets a little bit brighter for everyone. Well, let us know when you do go to do the modifications, I'm sure plenty of us would love to help, Johnny Boy. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

The RBS-2 future ride... A little tweaking on rocker panels, the rear was looking way to boxy and heavy so Clynt and I angled panel with a curl at end in black not to look that bulky
